Privacy Policy

Effective date: 17 September 2026

This website collects no personal information through its pages. It has no forms, no accounts, no cookies and no analytics. This policy describes the small amount of information that still exists as a consequence of serving a web page and receiving email, and what happens to it.

1. Who is responsible for this website

The publisher and the entity responsible for personal information described in this policy is:

This policy is written with reference to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, because the site is written for readers in Australia. Because Human Protection s.r.o. is established in the European Union, section 11 sets out the corresponding position under the General Data Protection Regulation.

2. What is actually collected

There are exactly three categories, and no others.

2.1 Nothing collected through the site itself

Arcadia Group has no contact form, no search box, no newsletter sign-up, no comment section, no user accounts and no interactive feature of any kind that accepts input. There is no field anywhere on this website into which you could type anything. No cookies are set, and no information is stored in your browser's local storage or session storage. There is no analytics service, no advertising tag, no conversion pixel, no A/B testing tool, no chat widget and no social media embed on any page.

2.2 Server logs kept by the hosting provider

Delivering a web page requires a server, and the server that hosts this website records ordinary technical logs in the same way every web server does. Those logs contain your IP address, the address of the page requested, the date and time of the request, the browser user agent string your browser sends, and the HTTP response code. An IP address may be personal information in some circumstances, which is why it is described here.

2.3 Email you choose to send us

If you write to info@arcadiagroup.online, we receive your email address, whatever you put in the message, and the technical headers your mail service attaches. You decide entirely what that contains. We ask that you do not send sensitive information, because there is no reason for us to hold any.

3. Why each category exists, and on what basis

• Server logs exist so that the site can be kept running and secure: diagnosing errors, identifying abusive traffic, and confirming the site is reachable. The basis is our legitimate interest in operating a functioning, secure website, and there is no practical way to serve a page without a server recording that it did so.
• Email correspondence exists so that we can read and answer you. The basis is that you contacted us and expect a reply.

Neither category is used for marketing, profiling, advertising, scoring or any automated decision-making. We do not build profiles of readers, and we could not — there is nothing joining a log entry to a person.

4. How long each category is kept

• Server logs: retained by the hosting provider for no longer than 90 days from the date of the request, then deleted or overwritten in the normal course of log rotation.
• Email correspondence: retained for up to 24 months from the date of the last message in the exchange, then deleted. Where a message relates to a matter that is still unresolved, or that we may need to retain for legal or accounting purposes, it is kept until that purpose ends.

5. Who else sees this information

Two parties, and only two.

• Our hosting provider, which operates the server that delivers this website and therefore holds the server logs described above on our behalf.
• Our email provider, which operates the mailbox that receives messages sent to our address.

We do not sell, rent, share or disclose personal information to anyone else. There is no advertising network, no data broker, no analytics company and no marketing platform involved with this site. No fonts, scripts, stylesheets or images are loaded from any third-party host, so browsing this site does not cause your browser to contact any server other than ours.

We may disclose information where we are required to do so by law, or where it is necessary to establish or defend a legal claim.

Cross-border disclosure — Australian Privacy Principle 8

Our hosting and email providers, and Human Protection s.r.o. itself, are located outside Australia, in the European Union. If you are in Australia, sending a request to this website or an email to our address involves the disclosure of the information described above to overseas recipients in the European Union. By using this site or writing to us, you should understand that your information is handled outside Australia and that the protections applying to it are those of the European Union and the Czech Republic, in addition to the commitments made in this policy.

6. Affiliate links and what they do not send us

Some pages contain paid links to a software vendor, disclosed as described on our affiliate disclosure page. Following such a link takes you to a destination operated by another company, whose own privacy practices then apply. Arcadia Group receives no personal information from that process — not your name, not your email address, not your payment details, and not any account information. We are informed only that a referral occurred, in aggregate commercial reporting that identifies no individual.

Links to Australian government agencies, testing laboratories and other external sites are ordinary links. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination applies, not this one.

7. Security

The site is served over HTTPS, so the connection between your browser and our server is encrypted. Access to the hosting account and the mailbox is limited to the small number of people who operate the publication, protected by strong, unique credentials and multi-factor authentication. The site holds no database of readers, which means there is no reader database that could be breached.

8. Your rights under the Australian Privacy Principles

If you are in Australia, you may ask us for access to any personal information we hold about you, and you may ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete. In practice this will normally concern email correspondence, since we hold nothing else that identifies anyone.

Write to info@arcadiagroup.online. We will respond within 30 days. If we cannot meet a request, we will explain why in writing.

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a privacy matter, raise it with us first so we have a chance to put it right. If it remains unresolved, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, which explains the complaints process at oaic.gov.au.

9. Notifiable Data Breaches scheme

If a data breach involving personal information we hold occurs and it is likely to result in serious harm to an individual, we will notify the affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and we will describe what happened and what to do about it.

10. Children

This site is written for adults making purchasing decisions and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16, and since the site collects nothing from anyone through its pages, there is nothing to collect.

11. GDPR and UK GDPR position

Human Protection s.r.o. is established in the Czech Republic, so the General Data Protection Regulation applies to its processing.

The lawful basis for keeping server logs is legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) — specifically, the interest in operating a secure and functioning website, balanced against the limited and short-lived nature of the data. The lawful basis for handling email correspondence is legitimate interests in responding to a person who has contacted us. There is no consent basis for any cookie or tracking technology, because this site uses none.

Where the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies to you, you have the right to request access to your personal data, rectification of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in the Czech Republic, the Office for Personal Data Protection; in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner's Office; or the authority in your country of residence.

12. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the revised version is published on this page with a new effective date at the top. Material changes — for example, if the site ever introduced a form, a cookie or an analytics tool — would be described in a short note on this page, and any consent mechanism required would be in place before the change took effect, not afterwards.
