Privacy policy

Duty Check collects as little as it can. The checker needs no personal details. If you sign up for emails, we keep your email address and your checker answers, use them only for what you signed up for, and never sell them.

Who we are

Duty Check is an independent Australian business that publishes information about the Digital Duty of Care Bill at dutycheck.com.au. You can contact us about privacy at [email protected].

What happens when I use the checker?

You see your result without giving a name, email or web address. Your answers are not saved in your browser and are gone when you close the page.

We do record anonymous totals: that the checker was started and finished, the answers chosen and the result shown. We use these to see which website features are common. They contain no email, web address or IP address, and they are not linked to you.

Do you use cookies or tracking?

No cookies. We measure visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page views and where visitors came from without cookies and without tracking you across other sites.

What do you keep if I sign up?

  • Your email address
  • The web address you gave us, if any
  • Your checker answers and result
  • Which emails you asked for, and when you signed up

We use these only to send the emails you asked for, and to understand which kinds of websites are affected by the Bill.

What emails will I get?

Only the kinds you ticked when you signed up:

  • Bill updates: an email when something important happens to the Bill, such as a Senate vote or a change affecting small business.
  • Service news: a note when the Duty Check risk assessment service is available.

You also get one confirmation email when you sign up. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

Who else handles my details?

We never sell your details or share them for anyone else's marketing. Two services handle them on our behalf, only to provide their service to us:

ServiceWhat it does for us
CloudflareHosts the website, stores sign-ups and anonymous checker totals in a database, forwards email sent to [email protected], and measures visits
ResendDelivers the emails we send you

Where is my information stored?

With the services above. They operate internationally, so your information may be stored or processed outside Australia, including in the United States.

How long do you keep it?

  • While you are subscribed, we keep your sign-up details.
  • When you unsubscribe, we delete your web address and checker answers. We keep your email address with a note that you unsubscribed, so we never email you again by mistake.
  • If you ask us to delete everything, we remove your record completely.
  • Anonymous totals are kept, because they are not linked to anyone.

How do I unsubscribe, see or delete my details?

Use the unsubscribe link in any email. To see what we hold, correct it or delete it completely, email [email protected] and we will do it promptly.

How is it kept secure?

The site runs over an encrypted connection. Sign-up details are held in a database that only we can access, and the key that sends emails is stored as an encrypted secret.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page if anything changes, and the date at the top shows when it was last updated.
