Information submitted through our contact and audit forms is used solely to evaluate whether our services are a fit for your business and to prepare a personalised response. We will contact you using the details you provide.

Service delivery

If you engage us as a client, we will use your contact information to deliver, manage, and improve the services agreed under your service agreement. This may include sharing relevant information with third-party platforms (such as Meta, Google, or TikTok) as necessary to operate your advertising campaigns, strictly on your instruction.

Business communications

We may send you information about our services, case studies, or industry insights if you have indicated interest or become a client. You may opt out of non-transactional communications at any time by emailing [email protected] or using the unsubscribe link in any email we send.

Legal and compliance obligations

We may use or disclose your information where required by law, court order, or regulatory authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Nightshift Media, our clients, or the public.

4. Analytics and Tracking

This website uses Umami Analytics, a privacy-first, open-source analytics platform. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personally identifiable information, does not track users across websites, and is fully compliant with GDPR, PECR, and the Australian Privacy Act. No consent banner is required for Umami. The data collected is limited to anonymised page views, referral sources, and general browser/device type — it cannot be used to identify you.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking scripts on this website. If this changes, this policy will be updated and a consent mechanism will be implemented where required by law.

5. Cookies and Session Data

This website uses a single, essential session cookie to maintain your authenticated login state if you choose to log in. This cookie is HTTP-only, signed with a secure secret, and expires at the end of your session or after a defined period of inactivity. It is not used for advertising or tracking purposes and does not require consent under Australian law or the GDPR's legitimate interest basis for essential functionality.

No third-party advertising cookies are set by this website.

6. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers. We use a small number of trusted third-party service providers to operate this website and our business, including cloud hosting, database, and email delivery providers. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually bound to use it only for the purposes we specify.

Legal obligations. We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process.

Business transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on this website before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

7. Data Storage and Security

Your personal information is stored in a secured, access-controlled database hosted on infrastructure located in Singapore (AWS ap-southeast-1 region). We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including encrypted connections (TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we take commercially reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
