Privacy policy
Last updated 13 November 2026
Mud Kitchens is a small, independently published Australian website. We collect as little as we need to run the site, and we handle it in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.
What we collect
- Website analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are read, how people find the site and which links get used, including clicks on links to other websites. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects technical data such as your approximate location, device and browser. We don't use it to identify you, and we don't use advertising features.
- Newsletter signups. If you sign up, your email address and the page you signed up on are stored by our email provider, MailerLite. We send a confirmation email first and only add you once you confirm. MailerLite records whether emails are opened and links clicked.
- Forms. When you contact us, send in your mud kitchen, list your business or make a bulk enquiry, what you type is stored on Cloudflare and emailed to us so we can reply.
- Photos you send us. We only publish photos you've given us permission to publish. We remove location data from photos, don't publish photos where children can be identified unless a parent or guardian has agreed in writing, and will take a photo down on request.
How we use it
To run and improve the site, to send the newsletter you asked for, to reply to you, and to feature the kitchens you send in. We don't sell or rent personal information, and we don't share it with anyone except the service providers below.
Who processes it for us
- Cloudflare: hosting, form storage and email delivery.
- Google: Google Analytics.
- MailerLite: newsletter.
These providers may store data outside Australia (for example in the US or the EU), under their own privacy policies.
Links to other websites
Our pages link to retailers, makers and sources, which have their own privacy policies. Some retailer links are affiliate links; see our affiliate disclosure.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time with the link in every email.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser, or use Google's Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Ask us what we hold about you, or to correct or delete it, through the contact page.
If you're not happy with how we've handled a privacy request, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Changes
If we change how we handle personal information, we'll update this page and the date above.
