Tent City Post · Updated 16 October 2026
1. Overview
Tent City Post aims to handle personal information responsibly and transparently. This policy describes the information used to operate the publication, contributor accounts, subscriber notifications and contact enquiries.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you use the website, information may include names, email addresses, account credentials stored in protected form, contributor profile details, submitted articles, notification preferences, messages you send us and technical information needed to maintain security and service delivery.
3. How information is used
We use information to operate accounts, review and publish submissions, send requested notifications, respond to enquiries, secure the website and meet legal obligations. Subscriber notifications are free and are based on the rules selected by each subscriber.
4. Subscribers and notification rules
Subscribers can manage up to five notification rules based on editorial section, author or topic, and may delete their subscriber account using the available account controls. We do not share subscriber information with advertisers for advertising purposes.
5. Service providers and disclosure
Hosting and email delivery providers may process limited information needed to provide the service. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where necessary to address serious security or safety concerns. We do not sell subscriber contact details.
6. Cookies and technical information
The website may use essential session cookies and technical logs for login, security and functionality. Any additional analytics or third-party services actually used should be described here when confirmed; third-party services may have their own privacy notices.
7. Storage and security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse and loss. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure. Information is retained only as needed for operational, editorial or legal purposes.
8. Access, correction and deletion
You may contact us to request access to or correction of information held about you. Subscriber account deletion is available through the subscriber preferences page. Certain records may need to be retained for legitimate editorial or legal reasons.
9. Complaints and enquiries
Privacy questions and complaints can be submitted through our Contact Us form. We will review concerns and respond as reasonably practicable.
10. Australian privacy law and updates
We seek to follow sound privacy practices, including relevant Australian Privacy Principles where appropriate, even if some statutory obligations do not currently apply to us. Applicable legal obligations may change. We will review this policy as the law and website features evolve.
11. Policy changes
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the service, law or our information-handling practices. The current version will be published on this website.
