Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Shirwell Bancan (“we”, “us”) handles personal information when you use our website (including pages served at shirwel.com and shirwell.com when applicable) and the Shirwell Music mobile application (the “Services”).

1. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect:

• Contact details you choose to provide (for example, an email address if you sign up for a newsletter or contact us).
• Usage and technical data such as pages or screens viewed, approximate region, device type, operating system, app version, and diagnostic or performance data needed to operate and improve the Services.
• Audio playback occurs on your device; we do not require access to your microphone for normal listening.

2. How we use information

We use the information above to:

• Provide, maintain, and secure the Services;
• Understand how the Services are used and improve them;
• Send optional communications you have agreed to receive;
• Comply with law and protect our rights and users.

3. Advertising

Our website may use Google AdSense to show ads. Google uses cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads. How Google uses data from sites that use its services is described in Google’s Partner Sites policy. You can manage ad personalisation in Google Ads Settings.

The Shirwell Music app may use Google AdMob or other ad partners. Those partners may collect device and advertising identifiers to deliver and measure ads. See Google’s Privacy Policy for more on how Google handles data in ads products.

4. Cookies and local storage

The website may set cookies or use browser storage for essential functionality, preferences, analytics, or advertising (such as AdSense where enabled). You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. Sharing

We share information with service providers who help us host, deliver, and analyse the Services (for example, hosting and infrastructure providers and Google for ads or analytics where used). We do not sell your personal information for money. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety and integrity of the Services.

6. Storage and security

We use reasonable measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

7. Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

8. Your choices and rights

Where applicable law gives you rights (including under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 or other privacy laws), you may request access to or correction of your personal information, or object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

9. Children

The Services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. International transfers

Our service providers may process data in countries other than Australia. When we disclose personal information overseas, we take steps consistent with applicable law.

11. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Services after changes means you accept the updated policy.
