Privacy policy

PODAustralia stores newsletter signup details and contact form submissions so we can respond to readers and send requested updates.

When analytics is enabled, the site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic, popular pages, supplier-link activity, and whether planning tools are started or completed. Calculator inputs and free-text site-search queries are not sent as analytics event parameters.

When a supplier link uses the site's redirect route, PODAustralia may store the supplier, link placement, whether the saved destination was an affiliate or standard link, a referrer origin and path with its query removed, and the request time. Obvious prefetch, audit, and bot requests are excluded where they can be identified. These redirect counts do not establish a unique visitor, signup, sale, or commission.

Analytics and redirect reporting are used to improve guides and tools and to reconcile aggregate partner reporting. PODAustralia does not sell this information.

The supplier comparison workspace stores your shortlist, priority and sample-check progress in this browser's local storage when available, with a tab-only fallback if storage is unavailable. This progress is not sent to a workspace API and does not sync to other devices. Clearing the site's browser storage removes saved progress. Shared links include only supplier selections and priority, not checklist progress; downloaded CSV files include completed-check counts.

The launch checklist saves your shop name, selected supplier/platform, checkmarks and personal tasks only when you explicitly save a draft on this device. Storage is not encrypted or synced. Drafts can be resumed for 30 days; stored text remains until you delete it or clear browser data. These fields are not added to share links or analytics. Copied, printed and downloaded plans include your notes, so keep those records private where appropriate. Tool-library search stays on the page; the new shipping and supplier-plan calculators do not save their numeric inputs or send them as analytics parameters.

The supplier quote comparison keeps entered amounts in page memory until you leave or reload. Only when you choose to send a quote to the Etsy calculator are its supplier name and product, shipping, tax and other costs stored temporarily in this tab's unencrypted session storage. Transfers expire after 30 minutes and are removed when the calculator reads the preview, before you choose whether to apply them. Leaving the tab open without opening the preview can leave the stored text until the tab closes or site data is cleared. Quote amounts and names are not put in URLs or analytics. Handoff analytics contain only fixed tool identifiers and a sent, previewed, accepted or dismissed stage. Calculator inputs are not synced to another device or sent to a quote API.

The Printify-to-Etsy setup guide's six first-listing checks stay in page memory and reset on reload. Copying creates a personal checklist text record, not an account connection. When analytics is enabled, setup-checklist events contain only the fixed guide identifier and a started, completed or copied stage—not individual checkmarks, credentials, shop details or signup claims. This is separate from the optionally saved launch planner.

If our privacy practices change, this page will be updated to reflect those changes.
