Privacy Policy
Last updated: 20 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how kalbarri.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website.
Who We Are
kalbarri.com is a locally-run travel guide for Kalbarri, Western Australia, providing information on accommodation, dining, tours, and attractions. Our website address is: https://kalbarri.com
Information We Collect
Contact Form Submissions
When you submit an enquiry through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any message details you provide. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Analytics
We use Google Site Kit and Google Search Console to understand how visitors use our website, including pages visited, time spent on site, and general location data. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify you. You can learn more about how Google handles this data at: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. booking widgets, maps, or videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited that other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Affiliate Links
kalbarri.com participates in affiliate marketing programs, including Stay22, Expedia, and Viator. This means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a booking via links on our site, at no additional cost to you. We only recommend businesses and experiences we genuinely believe offer value to visitors. Our affiliate partners may use cookies to track referrals and bookings made through our links.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Information may be shared with:
- Our website hosting provider, for the purpose of operating the website
- Email service providers, for responding to contact form enquiries
- Affiliate partners (Stay22, Expedia, Viator), only when you click through to make a booking
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your enquiry.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have left comments on this site or submitted a contact form, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
