Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 October 2026
Your privacy matters to us. This page explains what information is collected when you visit 8zee (8zee.com), how it's used, and the choices you have. We've tried to keep it readable rather than burying it in legal language.
The short version
We don't ask you to sign up or create an account to read anything.
We don't sell your personal information.
The site uses cookies, mainly for advertising (Google AdSense) and basic traffic stats.
You can control or switch off personalised ads, and we explain how below.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you email us or leave a comment, we'll see whatever you choose to share, such as your name, email address and the content of your message. We only use it to reply to you or to manage comments on the site.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting platform (Google's Blogger) and the services we use may collect standard technical details when you visit. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you look at, how long you stay and the site that referred you. This helps us understand which guides are useful and keeps the site running properly.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files saved on your device by your browser. We and our partners use them to:
Show ads and measure how they perform
Understand how visitors use the site
Remember basic preferences
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. The site will still work, although some ads may become less relevant to you.
Advertising and Google AdSense
8zee is supported by ads served through Google AdSense. Here's what that means for you:
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.
To learn more about how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Analytics
We may use tools such as Google Analytics or Blogger's built-in stats to see how many people visit and which pages they read. This data is grouped together and doesn't tell us who you are personally.
Comments
If you leave a comment, the name you use and your comment will be visible to everyone. Comments are handled by Blogger and are covered by Google's Privacy Policy. Please don't post personal details like your address or phone number in a comment.
Links to other websites
Our guides often link to government sites, manufacturers and other useful resources. Once you leave 8zee, their privacy policies apply, not ours, so it's worth having a quick look at theirs.
How long we keep information
We keep emails only as long as we need them to deal with your question or for our records. Comments stay up until they're removed by us or by you. Data collected by Google is kept according to Google's own policies.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under the Australian Privacy Principles, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Just email us at hello@8zee.com and we'll help where we can.
Children
This site is written for adults managing their household energy. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us their details, let us know and we'll delete them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page from time to time, for example if we add a new service or the law changes. When we do, we'll change the date at the top.
