Privacy Policy

Dynamic Business (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use dynamicbusiness.com, our newsletters, and related services (the “Site”). We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities, including:

• Account and contributor details — such as your name, email address, and any profile or biographical information you provide;
• Content you submit — articles, story tips, comments, images, and messages sent through our contact or advertising forms;
• Newsletter and marketing preferences — your email address and subscription status;
• Payment information — where you purchase advertising, payment is processed by our payment provider; we do not store full card details; and
• Usage and device data — collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring URLs, and interactions, via cookies and analytics tools.

We collect information directly from you (for example, when you sign up, contribute content, subscribe, or contact us), automatically as you use the Site (through cookies and analytics), and occasionally from third parties such as our service providers. If you provide us with personal information about another person, you must have their consent to do so.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, measure how the Site is used, and improve it. This includes analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, and product-analytics tooling. These tools may set their own cookies and process usage data on our behalf. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the Site works.

We use personal information to:

• operate the Site and provide accounts and services;
• review, edit, and publish contributions, and attribute them where appropriate;
• send you newsletters and updates you have subscribed to (you can unsubscribe at any time);
• respond to your enquiries and manage advertising bookings;
• measure, analyse, and improve the Site and our content; and
• maintain security and comply with our legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We disclose it only where necessary, including to trusted service providers who help us run the Site — for example, hosting and infrastructure providers, our email/newsletter platform, our payment processor, and analytics providers — who are authorised to use it only to provide services to us. We may also disclose information where required or authorised by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

Some of our service providers store or process data outside Australia (including in the United States). Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled consistently with the APPs.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law, after which we take reasonable steps to de-identify or securely destroy it.

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete. To make a request, or to unsubscribe from marketing, please contact us. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

The Site is intended for a business audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with its effective date. Material changes will be made prominent where appropriate.

If you have a question or a privacy complaint, please contact us and we will respond within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
