Privacy policy.
Last updated 4 June 2026
After Dark Media (ABN 33 180 655 963) - "we", "us", "our" - respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through afterdarkmedia.com.au, why we collect it, and how we handle it, in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
What we collect
- Information you give us. When you send a brief or enquiry we collect your name, email address, phone number (if you provide it) and the details of your enquiry.
- Information collected automatically. Our host and CDN (Cloudflare) processes limited technical data such as your IP address and browser type to serve and secure the site.
- Analytics and how the site is used. We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages and buttons people use, and Microsoft Clarity to see anonymised heatmaps and playbacks of how pages are scrolled and clicked. Clarity's playback is a reconstruction of page activity, not a video of you or your screen. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless. Everything you type into the brief form is masked before it leaves your browser, so names, email addresses, phone numbers and the text of your brief never appear in a Clarity recording.
Why we collect it and how we use it
We use your information to respond to your enquiry, prepare a quote, deliver the work you ask for, and stay in touch about it. We do not use it for unrelated marketing without your consent.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information. Form submissions are delivered to our inbox through a transactional email provider (Resend). We use Cloudflare to host and protect the site, and Google (Analytics) and Microsoft (Clarity) to measure how the site is used. These providers process your data only to provide their service to us. We may disclose information where required by law.
Overseas storage
Some of our service providers (including Cloudflare, Resend, Google and Microsoft) may store or process data on servers located outside Australia, including in the United States.
Storage and security
We hold your information securely and keep it only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law, then delete it.
Cookies
This site does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Cookies that are strictly necessary for security (for example, Cloudflare's bot protection on our form) may be set when you interact with the form. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity each set a first-party cookie so that repeat visits are counted as one person rather than several. They are not used to follow you to other websites. Your browser's "do not track" or cookie controls, or any tracker-blocking extension, will stop them, and the site works exactly the same without them.
Your rights
You can ask us to access or correct the personal information we hold about you, or to delete it. Email info@afterdarkmedia.com.au and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Complaints
If you have a privacy concern, contact us first at the address above. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows the current version.
