Privacy Policy
This page explains what personal information Ace Insider collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and how to exercise your rights under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
1 · Who we are
Ace Insider is an independent editorial title published by Harbourline Media Pty Ltd. For any data-protection matter, write to privacy@theaceinsider.com.
2 · What we collect
We process a deliberately small amount of information:
- Email address — only if you subscribe to our nightly pick, and only after you confirm the subscription
- Click data — when you tap a Visit Site button, we record the operator brand, the timestamp, and an opaque short code that identifies your subscriber record (never your email address itself)
- Basic request data — your approximate location (from your IP address) and browser type, used to keep the page working and to spot abuse
We do not collect any payment, financial, or identity-document data. We do not ask for your name, address, date of birth, or telephone number.
3 · How we use it
- Send you a single email per day with our nightly operator pick — only if you opted in
- Measure which operators our readers find most relevant, so we can refine our rankings
- Keep the page fast and secure, and fix broken links
4 · Consent and the Australian Privacy Principles
- Consent — for the email newsletter, processed only after you confirm
- Legitimate operation of the service — click attribution and basic security, handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles and balanced against your reasonable expectations
5 · Cookies and analytics
Ace Insider runs no third-party advertising or analytics cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, PostHog, or any cross-site tracking pixel. The only cookie-like data is the short-lived attribution code set by our own redirect host (r.rtrly.com) at the moment you tap a Visit Site button — that is how an operator credits our editorial recommendation if you choose to sign up.
6 · Who we share data with
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We share narrowly with:
- Brevo (our email delivery provider) — to send the newsletter, under a data-processing agreement
- Cloudflare (hosting and security) — serves the page; does not read the content of your interactions
- Operators — only the opaque attribution code is passed when you tap a Visit Site button. They never receive your email address from us.
7 · Data retention
- Newsletter subscribers — until you unsubscribe, plus 30 days to process the request
- Click-attribution data — 24 months, then aggregated and anonymised
8 · Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 1988 you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request its correction, and to withdraw consent at any time (including a single click via the unsubscribe link in any email). To exercise any right, email privacy@theaceinsider.com. We respond within a reasonable period, normally 30 days.
9 · Complaints
If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
10 · Changes
We will update this page if our practices change. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
