We collect as little data as possible. This website sets no cookies and uses no tracking, advertising or social media plugins. We count visits anonymously and without cookies (see "Visitor statistics"). Fonts, the map and the map library are served from our own server.
This website is run from the European Union, so the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. We also follow the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply to us.

Hosting and server logs
This website is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Cloudflare serves pages from data centres close to the visitor, so visitors in Australia are usually served from Australian data centres. When you open a page, the server processes technically necessary data: IP address, date and time, the address requested, the previous page (referrer), and browser and operating system. This is needed to deliver the page and keep the service secure. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The provider keeps these logs only for a short time.
Cloudflare processes the data on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR). Transfers to the USA are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Cloudflare is certified, and by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR).
Visitor statistics
To know how many people use the website, how they find us and which pages are useful, we count page views anonymously. We store only: the page, the date, the name of the website you came from (for example google.com), campaign details in the link (for example "utm_source=instagram"), whether the page was opened inside the Instagram, TikTok or Facebook app (visible from the browser identifier), the country (worked out from the IP address; we don't store the IP address itself) and whether it's a phone or a computer.
We also count how often some features are used: tapping "Directions", links to operators' websites, phone and email links, sending a form (only which form, not its content), the suburb search (not the search term) and "Near me" (not your location).
None of this identifies a person, and single visits are not linked to each other. The data sits with Cloudflare (see "Hosting and server logs") and is added up into daily totals every hour. Nothing is stored on your device. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving the directory and making it better known (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Location search
When you use "Near me", your browser asks for permission to use your location. The distance to each dog wash is worked out only in your browser. Your location is not sent to us and is not stored. You can withdraw the permission in your browser at any time.
Maps
The map is served entirely from our own server: map data, fonts, symbols and the library that shows the map. When the map appears on screen, your browser loads the map tiles from there, like any other file on this website (see "Hosting and server logs"). No external map service is used. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL licence), prepared with Protomaps.
When you tap "Directions", Google Maps opens with the dog wash as the destination. Only then does your browser connect to Google, and Google's privacy policy applies there.
Forms and email
When you write to us through a form or by email, we use your details (for example the name of the dog wash, suburb, business name, email address and message) to deal with your message and reply. The legal basis is handling your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in an accurate, current directory (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Forms are sent through a function on our server at Cloudflare to our email inbox. We send these emails with the email service Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, 106 Boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris, France), which processes the data on our behalf.
Emails to our addresses are received by Cloudflare (see "Hosting and server logs") and forwarded to our inbox. Our inbox, including form messages, is with Google (Gmail; Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), and Google's privacy terms also apply. Transfers to the USA are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Google is certified. When we reply, the email goes out through Brevo.
Enquiries sent with the form on Start a dog wash are passed on to up to three manufacturers of self-serve dog wash machines only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The manufacturers are then responsible for the data themselves. You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us; this applies from then on.
We delete your message once it's dealt with, and after twelve months at the latest, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.
Links to other websites
Listings link to operators' websites and to our sources. Your browser only connects to another website when you click such a link, and that website's privacy policy applies there.
Your rights
You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), correction (Art. 16), deletion (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). You can object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interest (Art. 21). You can withdraw consent at any time for the future (Art. 7(3)). Just email the address above.
You can also complain to a data protection authority, in particular in the country where you live or work (Art. 77 GDPR). In Australia, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
You don't have to give us any data. Without an email address, though, we can't reply. We don't use automated decision-making or profiling.
