Privacy policy

Checked Local is run by Digiwolf.au. Contact us about privacy at hello@digiwolf.au.

The site has no accounts or forms, and no business pays to appear on it.

Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are visited and how people find them. It sets cookies and collects information including your IP address (used to estimate your general location), device and browser type, and the pages you view. We use this only in aggregate and don’t use it to identify you. You can opt out by blocking cookies or by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

Meta Pixel. We use the Meta Pixel to measure visits from our ads on Facebook and Instagram and to show our own ads to people who have visited this site. It sets cookies and sends Meta information such as the pages you view, your IP address and browser details. If you have a Facebook or Instagram account, Meta may link this to your account under Meta’s own privacy policy. You can control this in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings, or by blocking third-party cookies in your browser.

Our hosting provider (Netlify) keeps standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, to deliver and secure the site. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address when a page loads.

If you email us, we use your name, email address and message only to reply and to act on your request, such as a correction. We keep emails only as long as we need them for that.

Listings use information published on public licence registers and in ABN Lookup: business name, suburb, licence or registration number and class, licence dates and ABN registration date. Some licence holders are individuals. We publish only what’s needed to show the licence check, and we don’t publish home addresses, phone numbers or personal contact details.

Our hosting, analytics, advertising and font providers may store or process data outside Australia, including in the United States.

You can ask us what information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it, by emailing hello@digiwolf.au. If you’re not satisfied with how we handle a privacy complaint, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).

If we add features that collect more information, such as enquiry forms, we’ll update this policy before they go live.
