DV Spotlight (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the local business directory at dvspotlight.org, published by Diamond Valley Postcards. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information, in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Information we collect
- Newsletter sign-ups — your name and email address when you join our mailing list.
- Enquiries and listing claims — details you provide when you contact us or claim a business listing (such as name, email, phone and business details).
- Business listings — publicly available business information (name, category, address, phone, website) compiled to create free directory listings. Business owners may claim and update their listing at any time.
- Usage data — standard, non-identifying information such as pages visited, collected via cookies to help us improve the site.
How we use your information
- To operate and improve the directory and its listings.
- To send newsletters, local deals and updates you have opted in to receive.
- To respond to enquiries and process listing claims and Premium subscriptions.
Third-party services
We use trusted third parties to run the site, including GoHighLevel (forms and email), Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (website analytics), and OpenStreetMap (maps). These providers process data only as needed to deliver their service.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies to keep the site working and to understand how it is used. We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to measure traffic and see how visitors navigate the site; Clarity may capture anonymised recordings of page interactions to help us improve the experience — never passwords or payment details. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.
Your rights
You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in each message. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or ask us to update or remove a business listing, by contacting us.
