canberra.beer Privacy Policy

How we protect your privacy and handle your personal information.

Last updated: May 2026

1. Overview

This website is an informational site operated from Australia.

We do not require user accounts and do not directly collect personal information from visitors. We aim to minimise data collection and only process what is necessary to operate, secure, and deliver the website.

We believe websites should function without unnecessary data collection, and this site is designed with that principle in mind.

2. Data We Process

When you visit this website, certain technical information is processed automatically. This may include:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device and operating system
  • Pages visited and request timestamps
  • Referring website (if applicable)

We do not use this information to identify you personally.

3. Hosting, Delivery and Security

This website is hosted and delivered via Cloudflare, Inc.

Cloudflare provides content delivery (CDN), performance optimisation, and security services.

As part of these services, Cloudflare may process request and technical data to:

  • Protect the site from malicious traffic (e.g. bots, abuse, DDoS attacks)
  • Ensure reliable and efficient delivery of content
  • Enforce security rules and access controls

To provide these protections, automated techniques may be used to assess incoming traffic. This can include analysing browser and device characteristics and issuing non-interactive security challenges.

These measures are designed to distinguish legitimate users from automated or malicious requests. They are not used by us to track users or build behavioural profiles.

Cloudflare may process data on servers located in multiple jurisdictions.

For more information, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

4. Analytics

We do not use analytics tools that track individual users or create behavioural profiles.

We do not use advertising or remarketing trackers.

5. Cookies

This website does not use cookies for analytics or advertising purposes.

Cloudflare may use limited, temporary mechanisms as part of its security and performance services. These are not used for tracking or marketing.

6. How Data Is Used

Any data processed through this website is used only to:

  • Operate and deliver the website
  • Maintain security and prevent abuse
  • Ensure performance and reliability

We do not use visitor data for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share personal data.

Data may be processed by service providers strictly for the purpose of operating the website, including:

  • Cloudflare, Inc. (hosting, delivery, security)

8. Third-Party Services (When Used)

We may use third-party services for additional functionality. These are only relevant if you choose to interact with them.

Email / Newsletter

If you subscribe to a newsletter, your information will be processed by Brevo. We have not opted in to use their analytics.

Brewery Application Form

If you submit a brewery application form on this website, your submission details (such as brewery name, contact details, and application content) are processed by Brevo so they can be delivered to us by email.

We use this information only to assess listing requests and to contact you about your application. If you choose the optional "email me a copy" setting, a separate confirmation email copy is also sent to your submitted email address.

Event Submission Form

If you submit an event through the Events page, your details (such as event information and contact details) are processed by Brevo so they can be delivered to us by email.

We use this information only to review event listing requests and to contact you about your submission. If you choose the optional "email me a copy" setting, a separate confirmation email copy is also sent to your submitted email address.

Bot Protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)

To protect forms from spam and abuse, we use Cloudflare Turnstile. Turnstile may process technical browser and request metadata to distinguish human visitors from automated traffic.

Online Store

If you access or purchase from a shop linked from this site, transactions and customer data will be handled by Shopify Inc. Purchases are completed on Shopify's platform, not this website.

These services operate independently and have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them before providing personal information.

9. Data Retention

We do not store personal data directly.

Any data processed as part of hosting, delivery, or security is retained according to the policies of our service providers.

10. Jurisdiction and Applicable Laws

This website is operated from Australia and is subject to the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

We aim to handle personal data in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

If you are located in another jurisdiction (such as the European Economic Area or United Kingdom), you may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights in relation to your personal data. These may include:

  • The right to access data held about you
  • The right to request correction or deletion
  • The right to object to or restrict certain processing

While we do not directly store personal data in most cases, we will take reasonable steps to assist with any legitimate request and to direct you to relevant service providers where appropriate.

We aim to handle such requests in a practical, privacy-respecting manner.

13. Embedded Content and External Services

This website may include embedded content or interactive features provided by third-party services.

Maps

We use mapping functionality provided via uMap, an OpenStreetMap-based mapping service.

When a page containing a map is loaded, your browser makes requests to external servers in order to display the map. These requests may include your IP address and standard technical information required to deliver web content. The services contacted include:

  • uMap (umap.openstreetmap.fr) — hosts the map application
  • Jawg (tile.jawg.io) — provides the map tile imagery used by uMap
  • OpenStreetMap — underlying map data
  • Sentry (js.sentry-cdn.com) — error monitoring loaded by uMap for its own application

We do not control how these third-party services process data once your browser connects to them. They are loaded as part of the uMap application and operate independently under their own privacy policies.

For more information, see:

TimelineJS

We use TimelineJS by Knight Lab to display the interactive timeline on this website.

The TimelineJS library (JavaScript and CSS) is self-hosted on this site.

The timeline's fonts are served via Bunny Fonts (fonts.bunny.net), a privacy-friendly font service. When the timeline page is loaded, your browser requests font files from fonts.bunny.net. This request may include your IP address and standard technical request data. Bunny Fonts does not track individual users or build profiles.

For more information, see:

Embedded content is delivered directly from third-party services and behaves in the same way as if you accessed those services separately.

14. Updates

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website, services used, or applicable requirements.
