Privacy policy

// Last logged: 1 July 2026

Meroviks ("we", "us", "our") runs meroviks.com. We keep the personal information of our readers to a minimum and handle it under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. What we collect

Only what helps the desk run:

• Contact details — your name and email, when you write to us.
• Usage data — anonymised analytics such as pages read, device type and general location (city or state level).
• Preferences — cookie choices, stored locally in your browser.

2. How we use it

To reply to your messages, understand which coverage Australian readers find useful, and keep the site fast and secure. We never sell your personal information.

3. Cookies and analytics

We use essential cookies to remember your preferences and privacy-respecting analytics to read traffic patterns. You control cookies at any time — see our Cookie Policy.

4. Disclosure

We may share limited data with trusted providers (for example, our analytics partner) strictly to operate the site. They are bound to protect it and use it only for the service we engage them for.

5. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. No online service is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your data safe.

6. Your rights

Under the APPs you may ask to access the information we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted. Write to us using the details below to do so.
