Privacy Policy

1. About This Site

neds-australia.com is an independent review and information website operated from Australia. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or associated with Neds (operated by Ellesor Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of News Corp Australia). The website provides information and editorial commentary about the Neds betting platform for educational and informational purposes.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Usage data — pages viewed, time on page, referring URL, browser type, operating system, IP address (anonymised).
• Device data — screen resolution, device type (mobile/desktop), language settings.
• Cookie data — session identifiers, analytics cookies, affiliate tracking parameters (see Section 4).
• Voluntary submissions — if you contact us via email or an enquiry form, we collect the name and contact details you provide.

We do not collect financial information (card numbers, bank details) or government-issued identification. Any account creation or financial transaction occurs directly on the Neds platform, which has its own privacy policy.

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or significant effects on individuals.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies — small text files stored in your browser — for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies — required for the website to function correctly (e.g., session state).
• Analytics cookies — we use Google Analytics (with IP anonymisation enabled) to understand how users interact with our pages. Google Analytics data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Affiliate tracking cookies — when you click an affiliate link on this site, a tracking cookie is set by our affiliate network to attribute any subsequent registration or deposit. This cookie typically persists for 30–90 days.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Our affiliate partner(s) may set their own cookies and collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the data practices of third-party websites, including the Neds website.

6. Data Sharing
