Privacy
ChildcareScout.au is an independent information site. We keep data collection minimal.
Location
The Near me feature asks your browser for location only when you tap Use my location. Coordinates are used to rank nearby ACECQA services in that request. We do not store your location on our servers.
Compare shortlist
Services you add to compare are saved in your browser’s local storage so the shortlist persists on this device. Clear it by removing items on the compare page or clearing site data in your browser.
Contact email
If you email us via the contact page, we use your message only to respond. There is no online contact form and no marketing list signup on this site.
Analytics and hosting
The site is hosted on infrastructure that may log standard request metadata (such as IP address and user agent) for security and reliability. We do not sell personal information.
