EmGee.dev / Privacy
Privacy
This policy covers this website and how EmGee.dev handles personal information in general. Each product has its own statement on its page, which adds the specifics. Last updated 3 November 2026.
Who we are
EmGee.dev is Michael Girdwood's software business in Melbourne, Australia. We follow the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Privacy contact: privacy@emgee.dev.
This website
- No cookies, no analytics, no advertising, no scripts, no embedded content from other sites.
- Cloudflare, which delivers the site, sees your IP address and browser details for each request to protect the site from attacks; it keeps them briefly under its privacy policy.
- Our web server keeps error logs only, for up to 14 days. It does not keep a log of visits.
- If you email us, we keep the email to answer and for our records.
Our products and client sites
Each one collects only what it needs to work, and its page lists what that is, why, where it is kept, which services see it and how to delete it. In short:
- We don't sell personal information or use it for advertising.
- Data is kept on our servers in Melbourne, plus the named services a product needs (for example Stripe for payments, Resend for email). Some of those services are overseas, mainly in the USA; each product page says which.
- Where we build a site for a client, the client decides what is collected and why; we look after it for them under this policy.
- Backups are encrypted and roll off on a fixed schedule (daily copies for 2 weeks, weekly for 2 months, monthly for a year), so deleted data is gone from every backup within 13 months. Backups are only ever used to restore a service.
Your rights
- Ask what we hold about you, and get a copy.
- Ask us to correct it, or to delete it (unless the law requires us to keep it, for example tax records).
- Complain. Tell us first at privacy@emgee.dev; we answer within 30 days. If you're not satisfied you can go to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Children
None of our products is aimed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
