RefDat is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. The short version: we collect very little, we do not require sign-ups, and we do not sell personal data.
RefDat does not require user accounts, logins, or personal information to use any of our tools. We collect only anonymous, aggregated data through the following services:
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID: G-CET7RHL9CT) to understand how visitors use our sites. This collects anonymous data such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and approximate geographic location. No personally identifiable information is collected. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We display advertisements through Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-9367164390411875) to fund the operation of RefDat. Google may use cookies to serve personalised ads based on your browsing history. You can manage your ad personalisation settings at Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out of personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
RefDat itself does not set cookies. However, third-party services (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) may set cookies on your device. These cookies are used for analytics and advertising purposes as described above. You can control cookie behaviour through your browser settings.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. The anonymous analytics data collected by Google is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
RefDat is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and applicable data protection laws, you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we do not collect personal data through normal use of our tools, this is unlikely to be relevant. If you have concerns, please contact us at privacy@refdat.com.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of RefDat after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
