canberra.beer Privacy Policy

How we protect your privacy and handle your personal information.

Last updated: July 2026

1. Overview

This website is an informational site operated from Australia.

There are no accounts on this site. We do not seek to identify ordinary visitors.

Some personal information may be processed where necessary to operate, secure, and deliver the website, or where you choose to use optional features such as the newsletter signup.

We believe websites should function without unnecessary data collection, and this site is designed with that principle in mind.

2. Data We Process

Technical and Request Data

When you visit this website, certain technical information is processed automatically by our hosting and security providers. This may include:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device and operating system
  • Pages visited and request timestamps
  • Referring website (if applicable)

We do not use this information to identify ordinary visitors.

Newsletter and Forms

If you subscribe for launch notifications or updates, we collect the email address you provide and send it to Brevo so it can be stored as a mailing list contact.

3. Hosting, Delivery and Security

This website is hosted and delivered via Cloudflare, Inc.

Cloudflare provides hosting, content delivery (CDN), performance optimisation, security services, serverless functions, database storage, and media storage through services such as Cloudflare Pages, Pages Functions, D1, and R2.

For these services, Cloudflare acts as a service provider or processor that handles data on our behalf to operate and secure the website.

As part of these services, Cloudflare may process request and technical data to:

  • Protect the site from malicious traffic (e.g. bots, abuse, DDoS attacks)
  • Ensure reliable and efficient delivery of content
  • Enforce security rules and access controls

These measures are designed to distinguish legitimate users from automated or malicious requests. They are not used by us to track ordinary visitors or build behavioural profiles.

Cloudflare may process data on servers located in multiple jurisdictions.

For more information, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

4. Analytics

We do not use analytics tools that track individual users or create behavioural profiles.

We may use aggregated hosting or security metrics provided by Cloudflare to understand site performance, errors, and abuse patterns. We do not use these metrics to identify individual visitors.

We do not use advertising or remarketing trackers.

5. Cookies

This website does not use cookies for analytics or advertising purposes.

Cloudflare may use limited, temporary mechanisms as part of its security and performance services. These are not used for tracking or marketing.

6. How Data Is Used

Any data processed through this website is used only to:

  • Operate and deliver the website and newsletter
  • Maintain security and prevent abuse
  • Ensure performance and reliability
  • Respond to correspondence you initiate

We do not use personal information for advertising, behavioural profiling, or sale to third parties.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information.

We only disclose or make personal information available to service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, provide requested functionality, send communications, protect the service, or meet administrative and record-keeping needs. Depending on the feature used, these providers may include:

  • Cloudflare, Inc. for hosting, delivery, security, access control, serverless functions, database storage, and media storage
  • Brevo for newsletter contacts, form delivery, billing emails, and related email communications
  • Proton Mail for receiving, storing, and responding to email communications

Some service providers may process data outside Australia. We aim to use reputable providers and to limit disclosure to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.

8. Third-Party Services and External Features

We may use third-party services for additional functionality. These are only relevant when you choose to use the relevant feature or load a page where that feature appears.

Email / Newsletter

If you subscribe to a newsletter, your email address will be sent to Brevo and stored there as a mailing list contact so we can send launch notifications and updates. We do not use Brevo for advertising or behavioural profiling. You can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time.

Bot Protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)

To protect forms from spam and abuse, we use Cloudflare Turnstile. Turnstile may process technical browser and request metadata to distinguish human visitors from automated traffic.

These services operate independently and have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them before providing personal information or using features that connect to those services:

9. Data Retention

We do not store personal information directly for ordinary browsing of the public website.

Newsletter contact details are kept in Brevo while you remain subscribed or while we reasonably need to manage launch notifications and updates. You can unsubscribe or ask us to remove your email address.

Any data processed as part of hosting, delivery, or security is retained according to the policies of our service providers.

10. Jurisdiction and Applicable Laws

This website is operated from Australia. We aim to handle personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), where applicable and as a matter of good practice.

If you are located in another jurisdiction (such as the European Economic Area or United Kingdom), you may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights in relation to your personal information. These may include:

  • The right to access data held about you
  • The right to request correction or deletion
  • The right to object to or restrict certain processing

For personal information we directly hold or can reasonably access, we will take reasonable steps to assist with legitimate access, correction, deletion, or objection requests, and to direct you to relevant service providers where appropriate.

You may also contact us if you wish to complain about how personal information has been handled. We will consider the issue and respond in a practical, privacy-respecting manner.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
