Privacy policy

Last updated: September 2026 (first published November 2025).

Introduction

In this policy, “us”, “we” or “our” means FDIstats. We are committed to respecting your privacy. This policy sets out how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information when you use our website and services. We may update it from time to time by publishing changes on this page.

Personal information is information or an opinion about an individual who is reasonably identifiable — for example, your name and contact details.

In short

• You can use the data, charts and API on this site without an account and without giving us any personal information.
• We only receive personal information you choose to send us, such as when you email us.
• We use privacy-friendly, aggregate website analytics and do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
• We do not sell personal information.

What we collect

If you contact us or engage our services, we may collect:

• your name, email address, telephone number and other contact details;
• your organisation and role;
• details of services you have enquired about or we have provided, and information needed to deliver them;
• any other information you choose to send us.

We may collect this directly from you — for example when you email us, request information or services, or subscribe to updates (if offered) — or, occasionally, from third parties such as a colleague who refers you to us.

Using the website: analytics and local storage

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand, in aggregate, which pages are visited and how the site performs. It records information such as the page viewed, referrer, approximate location, browser and device type, and does not use cookies to track you across sites. Our hosting provider also processes technical data such as IP addresses in server logs to deliver and secure the site.

The site stores a small number of preferences in your browser's local storage — for example your light/dark theme choice. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

Why we collect, use and disclose personal information

• to respond to your enquiries and provide requested information;
• to provide economic research and technical advisory services;
• to operate, protect and improve our website and services;
• to send you service or administrative messages and, if you have asked for them, updates about our research;
• to comply with our legal obligations and resolve disputes.

Direct marketing

We may send you information about our research, publications and services, in accordance with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and applicable privacy laws. You can opt out at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe facility provided.

Who we disclose information to

• service providers that help us operate — such as website hosting, analytics and email providers;
• professional advisers;
• third parties you authorise to receive your information;
• government agencies, regulators and law enforcement where required or authorised by law.

Disclosure outside Australia

Some of our service providers, such as cloud hosting and analytics providers, may store or process information outside Australia, including in the United States. We take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information consistently with Australian privacy law.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including encrypted connections and access controls. No transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Links to other websites

This site links to data sources and other third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and encourage you to read their policies.

Accessing or correcting your information

You can ask to access or correct the personal information we hold about you by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity. If we cannot give you access to some information, we will explain why.

Complaints

If you believe we have breached applicable privacy law, please contact us with a description of your concern. We will acknowledge your complaint and respond within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
