Last updated: 4 May 2026. This policy explains how Brixalonzik.world handles personal information. Australian law is primary: we aim to meet the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in Schedule 1 of the Privacy Act, the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme (Part IIIC of the Privacy Act), and the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) where we send commercial electronic messages. If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, the GDPR or UK GDPR may also apply as described below.
The operator of this website (“we”, “us”) is Brixalonzik.world, with a contact address at 194 Henley Beach Rd, Torrensville SA 5031, Australia. You may contact us by email at ask@brixalonzik.world or by telephone on +61 8 8352 7823.
For GDPR purposes, we act as the data controller for personal data processed through this site when you are in the EEA or UK. Visitors from the United States are subject to this policy and applicable US state privacy laws where they grant you rights (for example access or deletion requests—we will honour them where required and reasonable). We do not collect tax file numbers or other government-related identifiers through this website unless a specific, lawful process requires it and we tell you first.
The APPs are in Schedule 1 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We structure this privacy policy so you can see how we address our obligations. Official guidance and the full text of each APP are published by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at https://www.oaic.gov.au/.

If the Privacy Act is amended to add clearer duties about automated decision-making, profiling, or algorithmic transparency (as debated in Australian reform work through 2025–2026), we will update this policy to comply.
Under the Privacy Act, personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether true or not and whether recorded in material form or not.
We may collect:
We do not actively seek sensitive information (as defined in the Privacy Act, e.g. health, biometric, or racial origin) through general website forms. Please do not send payment card numbers, passwords, or government ID numbers unless we have asked for them for a stated purpose.
Collection (APP 3 & APP 5): we collect personal information only by lawful and fair means, where it is reasonably necessary for our functions. Where we collect it directly from you, this policy is part of our APP 5 collection notice: we identify ourselves, tell you that you may access the policy, explain the purposes of collection, who we may disclose to, any cross-border disclosure, and how to contact us.
GDPR legal bases (if applicable): contract steps, legitimate interests (running a secure site, responding to messages), consent (optional marketing or non-essential cookies), and legal obligation.
We use and disclose personal information for the primary purpose of collection, including: responding to enquiries; sending updates or session information where you have asked us to; operating, securing, and improving the website; and meeting legal obligations.
For a secondary purpose (e.g. direct marketing), we only use or disclose personal information as allowed under APP 6—typically where you would reasonably expect it, you have consented, or another exception in the Privacy Act applies.
Direct marketing (APP 7) and Spam Act: if we send commercial electronic messages (email, SMS, MMS) with an Australian link, we comply with the Spam Act 2003: identification of sender, a functional unsubscribe facility, and consent (express or inferred where permitted). You may opt out of marketing at any time using the unsubscribe link or by emailing us.
Paid online advertising: If we use platforms such as Google Ads or similar, we may receive conversion, attribution, or audience measurement data from those services in line with their terms and with the cookie choices you make on this site. We aim to deploy tags so that non-essential identifiers are used only where the Privacy Act (including the APPs) and other applicable law allow.
Some of our service providers (e.g. hosting, email, analytics) may process personal information in countries outside Australia. Where we disclose personal information to an overseas recipient, we take reasonable steps under APP 8 to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the APPs (unless an exception applies, such as your informed consent after we clearly explain the risks).
By using the site and submitting information, you acknowledge that such disclosure may occur where we have put appropriate contractual or other safeguards in place, or where an exception applies.
For EEA/UK visitors, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers where GDPR/UK GDPR requires (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions).
We take reasonable steps to ensure personal information we collect is accurate, up to date, and complete for the purpose of use. Enquiry records are typically retained for up to twenty-four months after our last meaningful contact unless a longer period is needed for legal claims, fraud prevention, or regulatory requirements. Server logs are often rotated or deleted within about ninety days unless a security investigation requires longer retention. Cookie durations are listed in the Cookie policy. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.
We take reasonable steps under APP 11 to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure— including HTTPS, access controls, and vetting subprocessors. No system is perfectly secure.
If an eligible data breach occurs under the NDB scheme (unauthorised access or disclosure likely to result in serious harm to individuals), we will assess the incident and, if required, notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and affected individuals as soon as practicable in line with Part IIIC of the Privacy Act.
We are committed to open and transparent management of personal information (APP 1), including where technology—not humans alone—helps produce what you see or read. Regulatory expectations in Australia and overseas increasingly emphasise telling users when algorithmic or AI systems are part of the experience. This section meets that expectation for 2026-style transparency.
Articles, recipes, planning tips, and other copy on this website may be prepared with assistance from generative AI or similar language tools (for example to draft, shorten, rephrase, or check grammar) before a human reviews the material for fit and clarity. AI-assisted text is still general education only—it is not personalised advice and may contain errors; you should verify anything important to you.
Imagery on the site (including hero photos, section images, or decorative scenes) may be real photography, licensed stock, or AI-generated / AI-assisted visuals—such as composite scenes, stylised food shots, or interior-style mock-ups. Those images are illustrative only. They may not show an actual dish you can buy, an exact product label, or a real room. Do not treat a picture as proof of ingredients, nutrition, or availability.
We do not currently operate a real-time AI chatbot on this website that answers as an automated assistant. Contact is via email, phone, or forms handled by people (subject to ordinary business tools such as spam filtering).
If we introduce AI-assisted chat in the future, we will: clearly label the feature as automated or AI; explain what inputs are processed and whether logs are stored; link to this policy; obtain consent where the Privacy Act or other law requires; and not present the tool as a licensed health or dietetic consultation.
If we use third-party AI or machine-learning services that process personal information you have provided, we take reasonable steps under the APPs—including APP 8 where data may be stored overseas—to use contractual safeguards and to minimise what we send (we avoid feeding unnecessary sensitive information into AI tools).
You may ask us (contact details in section 1) how we used automated tools in connection with your enquiry, or request access or correction under APPs 12–13. If you object to a particular processing activity we will explain any lawful limitations.
You may request access to personal information we hold about you, subject to exceptions in the Privacy Act (e.g. where disclosure would unreasonably affect another person’s privacy). We will respond within a reasonable period (commonly within 30 days for Australian requests, depending on complexity).
You may request correction of information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading. If we refuse access or correction, we will explain why and how you may complain.
Where lawful, you may interact with us using a pseudonym or anonymously; however, we may be unable to respond fully without contact details.
GDPR/UK GDPR (if applicable): you may have additional rights (erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdraw consent). You may complain to your local supervisory authority.
If you believe we have interfered with your privacy, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the matter. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the OAIC:
The OAIC’s website explains how to lodge a privacy complaint and expected timeframes.
This website is aimed at adults planning household meals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental or guardian involvement. If you believe a child has submitted data, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
We do not use solely automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects for individuals through this site.
We may update this policy when laws or our practices change. We will revise the “Last updated” date and, where changes are material, post a notice on the website where practical. Continued use after updates may constitute acceptance where the law allows.
