Who we are
Suggested text: Our website address is: https://mycarhistoryppsr.com.au. We run this platform to provide PPSR, vehicle history, and related auto-information services to users across Australia.
Comments
When visitors post comments, we collect the information they enter in the form, along with their IP address and browser details, to prevent spam. We also generate an anonymised hash from your email to check if you use Gravatar. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy anytime at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After a comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible alongside it.
Media
Suggested text: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
You may ask the site to save your name, email, and website in cookies when you leave a comment. This feature helps you avoid re-entering details every time you comment, and these cookies stay active for one year.
We use a temporary cookie on the login page to test if your browser accepts them. It stores no personal information and disappears once you close your browser.
When you log in, we set multiple cookies to store login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, while display prefs remain for one year. Selecting Remember Me keeps you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies automatically.
If you edit or publish content, the browser stores an additional cookie with the post ID. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this website may include embedded media such as videos, images, and external articles. When you interact with embedded content, those third-party websites may track your activity, place cookies, or collect additional data — just as they would if you visited them directly. Tracking may occur if you are logged in to their platforms.
Who we share your data with
When you request a password reset, we include your IP address inside the reset email to ensure account security.
How long we retain your data
We store comments and metadata indefinitely to recognise future interactions without review delays.
Users who create an account may update or delete their profile data at any time, except the username. Website admins can access and modify user details when needed for support or security.
What rights you have over your data
If you own an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold. You can also ask us to delete it. However, we may keep information required for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
We check visitor comments through an automated spam-detection service before they appear publicly.
