Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Your privacy matters to us.

Your Bin Reminder is committed to protecting your personal information and complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This policy explains how we handle your information β€” in plain English.

Who We Are

Your Bin Reminder is a free service operated by WIT Web Solutions, based in Wyndham, Victoria, Australia. This service is not affiliated with any Australian local council or government body. Contact us at witweb.com.au.

What Personal Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information needed to provide the reminder service:

  • Email address β€” used exclusively to send your weekly your bin reminder.
  • Suburb β€” optional, to help improve local data in future versions.
  • Bin type preferences β€” which bins you put out (general, recycling, green waste).
  • Collection day β€” the day of the week your council collects your bins.

We do not collect your name, home address, payment details, or any sensitive information as defined under the Privacy Act.

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used solely to:

  • Send you a weekly email reminder at 8pm the evening before your bin collection day.
  • Allow you to manage, edit, or delete your reminder at any time.
  • Maintain accurate records of sent reminders for operational purposes.

We will never use your email address to send marketing or unrelated communications without your explicit consent.

Disclosure to Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Limited disclosure occurs only with these service providers who process data on our behalf:

  • Supabase β€” database storage (AWS, Australia/Singapore region).
  • Resend β€” transactional email delivery.
  • Vercel β€” application hosting and deployment.

Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored in Supabase's managed database with encryption at rest and in transit (TLS/SSL). Access is restricted to authorised service processes only. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no internet transmission is 100% secure.

Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as you have an active reminder. When you delete a reminder, associated data is permanently removed within 30 days. Reminder send logs are retained for up to 90 days for operational purposes, then automatically deleted.

Your Rights Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)

Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate or outdated information.
  • Delete your information at any time via the dashboard or by contacting us.
  • Unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any reminder email.
  • Complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

Cookies and Tracking

Your Bin Reminder does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics tools that collect personal information. We do not run advertising. Your usage of this app is not tracked or profiled in any way.

Children's Privacy

This service is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through this service, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The β€œLast updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
