Privacy & safety

This site is designed to collect as little as possible. You do not need an account. Cloudflare Web Analytics is enabled so the team can see aggregated use and performance.

What we collect

To read this site: nothing. You don't need an account, and we don't ask who you are.

If you email us or share your story, we receive only what you choose to send us.

Cloudflare Web Analytics is on: it reports aggregated page paths, referring sites, country, device, browser, operating-system and performance information. Cloudflare says Web Analytics does not collect visitors' personal data or use cookies or local storage for usage metrics, and currently does not log URL query strings. Read Cloudflare's Web Analytics information.

What we never do

We never use advertising or social-media tracking cookies.

We do not ask you to type self-check answers into this site, and we do not save or send a self-check response. Analytics can count the page path you visit.

We never put your personal information in the web address (URL).

Staying safe on a shared device

If someone might check your device, use the Quick exit button (top of every page, or press Esc three times), browse in a private/incognito window, and clear your history afterwards.

For your safety, sensitive support pages are sent with a no-store cache rule and the service worker does not save them for offline use. If you have no internet, it shows only the neutral crisis-numbers page. A browser, device, workplace, internet provider or network may still keep history or traffic records. Using Quick exit clears this site's local and session storage and asks the browser to clear this site's Cache Storage, but it cannot clear browser or network history. If you choose "Add to Home Screen", a Stories of Strength icon will appear on your phone — only do that if it is safe for you.

Your information is handled with care by Community News Hub Aboriginal Corporation. To ask a question, request a correction, or have something removed, email stories@indigenousnewsaustralia.com.
