1. About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains in general terms how RealEstateCalc collects, uses, discloses, and handles personal information in Australia.

We may also collect information about your use of our website and services, which can include device and browser information, general location (derived from IP address), pages viewed, and interactions with our calculators. Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support functionality and measurement. You can choose to block cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.

We do not sell personal information.

5. Storage and overseas disclosure

Personal information we hold may be stored in Australia or in other countries, including through third-party service providers.
