This Privacy Policy explains how TellaDev ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website at https://telladev.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
This policy is designed to comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and FTC guidelines.

- Device type (desktop, mobile, or tablet)

2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
- To send newsletters and content updates (only to subscribers)
- To analyse site traffic and user behaviour to improve the user experience
- To display advertisements through third-party ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense)

4. Third-Party Services
We partner with third-party services that may independently collect or receive information about you. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site. Data is collected anonymously and aggregated. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google AdSense
We display ads through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies (including IDE, NID, and _gcl_au) to serve personalised ads based on your prior visits to websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet. You can manage your ad personalisation preferences at Google Ad Settings or opt out via the Digital Advertising Alliance. Google's data practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy. For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA) and UK, we comply with Google's EU User Consent Policy and implement Google Consent Mode v2 to honour your consent choices.
Amazon Associates & Affiliate Networks
Some links are affiliate links. Clicking these may result in third-party cookies being placed on your device for referral attribution. We do not receive any of your personal data from these networks — only aggregated commission reports. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Email Marketing Provider
Newsletter subscribers' email addresses are stored and processed by our third-party email service provider. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send you. We do not sell or share your email address with other parties.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, GitHub gists). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external site and may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction independently.
5. Data Retention and Security
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by law:
- Newsletter subscriptions: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
- Analytics data: retained per our analytics provider's settings (typically 26 months for Google Analytics)
- Direct contact enquiries: retained for up to 2 years, then deleted
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Australian residents: You have rights under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. You may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
EU/UK residents: You have rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (e.g., the ICO in the UK, or your national DPA in the EU).
California residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to opt out of the sale of personal information, and to request deletion. We do not sell personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
7. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain EU jurisdictions under GDPR). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete the information promptly.
