Your privacy
Short version: I only collect what I need to send you the newsletter and reply to your emails. I don't sell your data. Last updated 8 November 2026.
Who I am
Off the Binder is run by Lucas, a bartender based in Melbourne, Australia. You can reach me at hello@offthebinder.com. I try to follow the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
What I collect
- Your email address, when you subscribe to the newsletter.
- What you tell me, when you email me.
- Basic technical data (such as IP address and browser type) that the hosting provider processes to deliver and protect this website.
- Anonymous visit statistics (pages viewed, referring site, country, device type) through Cloudflare Web Analytics. It doesn't use cookies and doesn't track you across other websites.
This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies.
How I use it
- To send you the newsletter and anything you signed up for, like the Recipe system audit checklist.
- To reply to your messages.
- To understand, in aggregate, which editions are useful (for example open and click rates).
Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
Who helps me run this
- beehiiv hosts the newsletter, the subscribe form and the subscriber list. When you use the form, beehiiv's own privacy policy also applies.
- Cloudflare hosts this website.
- Google Workspace handles email sent to @offthebinder.com addresses.
These providers may store data outside Australia, including in the United States. I only use providers that publish their own privacy and security commitments.
Links and affiliates
This site links to other websites, such as shops on Etsy or Payhip and the social platforms where Off the Binder posts. Their privacy policies apply once you're there. If a link ever earns me a commission, I'll say so next to the link.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe at any time, and you can ask me to access, correct or delete the personal information I hold about you by emailing hello@offthebinder.com. If you're not happy with how I've handled a privacy concern, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
Changes
If this policy changes, I'll update the date at the top of this page.
