CALYL will only use personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, a reasonably related purpose, or another purpose you have authorised.

Email Subscriptions

If you subscribe to CALYL emails, your name and email address may be stored and processed through Ghost and its supporting service providers.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in an email. You may also contact CALYL directly if you need help changing or removing your subscription.

Comments

If comments are enabled, information connected with your Ghost member account and anything you publish in a comment may be visible to other readers.

Please do not include private or sensitive information in a public comment.

CALYL may moderate, hide or remove comments to protect readers and maintain a respectful environment.

Some CALYL stories contain affiliate links. If you follow one, the external business may use cookies or other technology to recognise that CALYL referred you.

CALYL does not control the information collected by Amazon, Etsy, Pinterest or other external websites. Their own privacy policies and terms apply once you leave CALYL.

You can learn more by reading the CALYL Affiliate Disclosure.

Cookies

Ghost does not set non-essential cookies by default. Essential cookies or similar technology may still be used for functions such as member accounts, comments, security or website preferences.

Embedded media, affiliate services and other external content may be governed by the cookie and privacy practices of the relevant third party.

If CALYL later introduces services that require additional consent, this policy and any applicable cookie notice will be updated.

Service Providers and Overseas Processing

CALYL may use trusted service providers to host the website, deliver emails, store information or support publication functions.

These providers may process information in Australia or overseas. Their use of information is governed by their respective terms, privacy practices and applicable laws.

CALYL does not rent or sell its subscriber list.

Access, Correction and Deletion

You may contact CALYL to:

  • Ask what personal information is held about you
  • Request that incorrect information be corrected
  • Request deletion where appropriate
  • Withdraw consent or unsubscribe from communications

Some information may need to be retained where reasonably required for security, recordkeeping or legal obligations.

Children’s Privacy

CALYL includes stories and ideas that may be enjoyed by people of different ages. It is not intended to encourage children to submit personal information without appropriate adult guidance.

Children should ask a parent or guardian before subscribing, creating an account, commenting or sending personal information online.

A parent or guardian may contact CALYL if they believe a child has submitted personal information that should be removed.

Keeping Information Safe

Reasonable care is taken to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure. However, no website, email service or online storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated when CALYL changes, introduces new services or needs to reflect changes in law or technology.

The latest version will always appear on this page with its most recent update date.
