Privacy Policy

Effective date: 1 January 2025

Cycladic Spaces ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information when you visit cycladicspaces.com.au (the "Site") or contact us.

This policy is written for Australian users and aligns with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

1) What personal information we collect

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to run the Site and communicate with you.

Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect:

  • Contact details (for example, your name and email address) if you submit a contact form or email us

  • Messages and enquiry details that you choose to send

  • Basic technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser, operating system, and referral source

  • Usage data such as pages visited, time on page, clicks, and general browsing behaviour

  • Cookie data (see the Cookies section below)

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

2) How we collect information

We collect personal information in a few ways:

  • Directly from you when you contact us, subscribe, or fill in a form

  • Automatically when you browse the Site (via cookies and analytics tools)

  • From third parties when they provide website services we use (for example, analytics and email platforms)

3) Why we collect and use your information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries and messages

  • improve the Site, content, and user experience

  • understand what readers are finding useful (and what they are not)

  • monitor performance and fix technical issues

  • prevent fraud, spam, and misuse of the Site

  • send occasional updates if you have subscribed (you can unsubscribe anytime)

We do not sell your personal information.

4) Email subscriptions

If you subscribe to receive updates, we may send you emails about new guides, travel updates, or related content.

  • You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email.

  • If you unsubscribe, we will stop sending marketing emails, but we may still contact you if you have made an enquiry or requested a reply.

5) Cookies and tracking

Like most websites, Cycladic Spaces uses cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Cookies help us:

  • measure traffic and performance

  • remember basic preferences

  • understand what content people are reading

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the Site work.

6) Analytics and advertising

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site.

These tools can collect information such as:

  • pages visited

  • time spent on pages

  • device and browser type

  • approximate location (city level)

This information is generally aggregated and used to improve the Site.

If we run advertising (now or in future), ad providers may use cookies to show relevant ads or measure performance.

7) Affiliate links

Some pages may contain affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you click and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate providers may collect information according to their own privacy policies. Cycladic Spaces does not control how third parties store or use your data.

8) Third-party links and embeds

The Site may include links to other websites and embedded content (for example, maps, videos, or social media posts).

Third-party sites and platforms have their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for how those services collect or use your information.

9) Sharing your personal information

We only share personal information when it is necessary to operate the Site or provide services.

This may include sharing with trusted service providers such as:

  • website hosting and platform providers (for example, Squarespace)

  • analytics providers

  • email and communications tools

  • security and anti-spam services

We may also disclose information if required by law.

10) International data transfers

Some of our service providers may store or process data outside Australia. When this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled securely and in line with this policy.

11) How we store and protect your information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

Security measures may include:

  • secure platform hosting

  • access controls for accounts and admin tools

  • monitoring for suspicious activity

No system is perfectly secure, but we do our best to keep your information protected.

12) How long we keep personal information

We keep personal information only for as long as needed to:

  • respond to you

  • provide services you have requested

  • maintain site performance and security

  • meet legal or reporting requirements

13) Your rights and choices

You may have the right to:

  • request access to the personal information we hold about you
