Privacy policy

This is the privacy policy for blerc.com, the website of Blerc Pty Ltd (ABN 55 649 912 461). We are a small software studio in Sydney. This page says what the site collects, why, and what you can ask us to do about it.

The short version: the site does not track you. It has no advertising and no analytics scripts. It learns who you are only if you write to us.

What we collect when you write to us

The contact form asks for:

• your name and your email address, which we need to reply;
• your phone number and your business name, if you choose to give them;
• what you are writing about, and for a new project what you need, a rough budget and when you need it, if you choose to say;
• your message.

We use these to answer you and to do the work you ask about. We do not use them for anything else, we do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not sell or share them.

When you send the form, a copy is emailed to us, and you are sent an automatic reply to say it arrived.

How the form is protected from spam

The form checks that a message is from a person. One check is a field that people cannot see and robots fill in. One is Cloudflare Turnstile, a service of Cloudflare, Inc., which looks at your browser to tell a person from a robot and tells us only yes or no. The third is a limit on how many messages one internet address can send in a short time. That limit is counted in the server's memory and the address is never written down.

How long we keep a message

A message that turned out to be spam is deleted after 30 days. Any other message is deleted for good 24 months after the last time we dealt with it. Deleted means removed, not hidden.

Cookies

The site sets no cookie when you visit.

If you use the light and dark switch, the site stores one cookie, called cuugo_theme, so the pages stay the way you chose. It holds that choice and nothing else, and it lasts a year. It is not used to recognise you.

The site has no advertising cookies and no analytics cookies.

What the site counts

When someone follows a button to a store, a product's website or a download, the site adds one to a count. It records which product, which button and when. It does not record who: no internet address, no browser and no cookie.

Links from this site to a store or to another website carry a short tag that says the visit came from blerc.com. The tag says nothing about you.

The server's own records

Like most websites, the server that runs blerc.com keeps a log of the requests it receives: the time, the page, the internet address the request came from and the kind of browser. We use it to keep the site running and to look into faults and misuse. The site is reached through Cloudflare, which handles the same details to deliver the pages and to block attacks.

Our apps and games

This policy is about the website. Each app or game in the showcase has its own privacy policy, linked from its page. Afro Ninja does not ask you to create an account.

Where your information is kept

Messages sent through the form are kept on our web server and in our email.

What you can ask us to do

You can ask to see what we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. Write to support@blerc.com and we will do it. If you are not happy with how we have handled your information, tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, the new version goes on this page with a new date at the top.
