Who we are
Cloud-Migrations.au ("we", "us") operates cloud-migrations.au. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and, where they apply to you, other privacy laws such as the EU and UK GDPR. Contact us at hello@cloud-migrations.au.
What we collect
- Information you give us, such as your name and email address when you contact us or request a template by email.
- Usage information, such as pages viewed, approximate location (city or region), device and browser type, and referring site, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
- Technical information, such as IP address and server logs, used to keep the site secure and working.
How we use it
- To provide and improve the site, guides, templates and tools.
- To respond to your enquiries.
- To measure traffic and understand which content is useful.
- To display advertising and to track referrals to partners, once these features are active (see below).
- To protect the site against misuse and to meet legal obligations.
Affiliate banners and links
Some pages show banners from our hosting partners (currently Hostinger, SiteGround, VentraIP, Cloudways and Crucial). The banner images, and in some cases a small tracking image that counts how often a banner is shown, load from the partner's own servers, so the partner receives your IP address and browser details and may set cookies. When you click an affiliate link, the partner uses its tracking code or cookies to credit the referral to us. Their use of this data is covered by their own privacy policies.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We may use Google AdSense to show advertising. If we do:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this site and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.
- Where required (for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland), we will ask for your consent through a consent banner before personalised ads or advertising cookies are used.

Analytics
We run our own cookie-free analytics to count visits and see which pages, searches and templates are useful. It records the page, the referring site, an approximate location (country, and state in Australia) estimated from the time zone setting in your browser, device type, browser, and actions such as downloads, outbound link clicks, share button clicks, tool use and answers to "Was this page helpful?". If you type a comment in that box we store the text you type, so please do not include personal information. Domains you check in the DNS checker are looked up by your browser directly with Google Public DNS or Cloudflare and are not sent to us. The data is stored on our own web host. We do not store your IP address and do not set cookies for this. Visitors are counted with a code generated from your connection details and a random value that is replaced every day, so we cannot recognise you from one day to the next. If we later add third-party analytics such as Google Analytics, we will update this policy and the cookie notice.
App and offline use
If you install the site as an app, your browser keeps copies of pages you have opened so they work offline. These copies stay on your device; you can remove them by uninstalling the app or clearing site data in your browser. The readiness check saves your answers only in your browser.
Affiliate links
When you click an affiliate link, the partner may set a cookie to record that you came from our site. We receive information about completed referrals (for example, that a sale occurred), not your payment details. See our advertising and affiliate disclosure.
Cookies
See our cookie policy for the cookies we use and how to control them.
Disclosure and overseas transfers
We share personal information only with service providers who help us run the site (for example hosting, analytics, advertising and email providers), or where required by law. Some of these providers store data outside Australia, including in the United States and Europe. We take reasonable steps to ensure they protect it.
Security and retention
We use reasonable measures to protect personal information and keep it only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law.
Your rights
You can ask to access or correct the personal information we hold about you, or make a privacy complaint, by emailing hello@cloud-migrations.au. We will respond within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Visitors covered by the GDPR also have rights to erasure, restriction, portability and objection.
