Information We Collect

BridgeView Bulletin collects basic information from users when they visit our site, including IP addresses, browser types, and device data for analytical purposes. When users subscribe to newsletters, submit comments, or contact us through forms, we may collect names, email addresses, and any message content. This data is collected only with user consent and is limited to what is necessary for the specified service or feature.

How We Use Your Information

The data we gather is used to improve user experience, respond to inquiries, provide tailored content, and track site performance. We analyze usage patterns to optimize navigation and enhance content relevance. Your contact details, when provided, may be used to send newsletters or important updates, but never for unsolicited marketing without clear opt-in consent.

Data Protection & Security

We implement robust security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. This includes encrypted transmission, access control protocols, and regular monitoring of our hosting environment. While no system is entirely immune to breaches, we actively work to ensure your personal information is kept as secure as possible.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

BridgeView Bulletin does not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized or aggregated data with analytics services to better understand audience trends and engagement. In rare cases, we may be legally required to share information with authorities, but only when mandated by applicable laws.

Your Rights & Choices

Users have the right to access, correct, or delete their personal data by contacting us directly. You may also opt out of communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in emails. We respect all applicable data rights under Australian privacy law and aim to empower users with control over their information.

Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or to comply with legal obligations. Inactive accounts and outdated communication records are regularly purged. We maintain internal policies to ensure data is securely deleted once it is no longer required.
