Privacy policy.

Last updated: 9 November 2026.

This policy describes the downloadable static version of Homesprout at homesprout.com.au. It explains what the site itself does, what your hosting provider may process and what must change if additional services are introduced.

Personal information and contact

Homesprout does not require an account, registration, online checkout or newsletter subscription. It does not collect names, addresses or payment details through an online form. If you send an email through the contact page, the information you include is transmitted through your chosen email service and may be used to respond to your enquiry.

Hosting logs

A hosting provider may process ordinary technical information such as IP address, timestamps, pages requested, device and browser information or error logs to deliver the site, diagnose problems and protect the server. Retention and access depend on the deployed hosting configuration. The fact that the site is static does not mean the host collects no technical request information.

Saved articles and the weekend checklist

The optional reading list and weekend checklist use local browser storage to remember selections on the same browser. This data is stored on your device, not sent to Homesprout by these features. You may remove individual saved articles, clear the checklist or delete the site's local storage using your browser settings. Blocking storage may prevent selections persisting between visits.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

The initial distributed files do not contain third-party analytics tags, behavioural trackers, affiliate tracking URLs, advertising scripts or a marketing consent platform. The site's own interactive features do not intentionally create tracking cookies. If analytics, advertising or affiliate services are installed, this policy needs updating to identify them, describe associated data practices and provide any legally required controls or consent arrangements.

Third-party websites

Editorial articles may link to relevant authorities and other outside websites. Those websites may operate their own cookies or process information differently from Homesprout. Please refer to their policies. We cannot control external sites, including future changes to their content or technical practices.

Questions and requests

If you previously emailed Homesprout and would like to ask about, correct or request deletion of information in that correspondence, contact hello@homesprout.com.au. We may need suitable information to verify a request. This policy may change as site functionality and legal obligations change.

Children's information

The site is a general-audience publication and is not designed to collect children's personal information. Any household activities involving children need suitable adult supervision, particularly around cleaning products, tools, heavy furniture, plant toxicity and balconies.
