We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

These platforms may collect data about your interaction with our site and combine it with other information you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Aside from our project partners (RPD, LandX, and Vyril Pty Ltd), we do not sell or trade your personal information. We share data only in the following circumstances:
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. You may opt-out of marketing communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or by contacting us directly.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please contact us via the contact form on our website at https://thebendestate.com.au/.
