Privacy policy

Who we are

This privacy policy explains how solarbatterycost.com.au ("we", "us") handles information when you visit our website, use the calculator or contact us. The site is operated from Australia.

Information we collect

• Calculator inputs: state, bill or usage estimates, solar details and similar fields you enter. These are used to produce an on-screen estimate. You do not need an email address to see results.
• Contact emails: if you email us, we receive the address and message content you send.
• Usage and analytics: we may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand page views and basic device information.
• Affiliate click attribution: if you click through to an installer quote partner, we may record that a click occurred (partner, state, estimate snapshot) to attribute referrals. Quote forms on partner sites are governed by their privacy policies.
• Advertising: if Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. See Google advertising policies.

How we use information

• To calculate and display battery cost, size and payback estimates
• To improve the calculator, guides and site reliability
• To respond to contact requests
• To attribute optional installer quote referrals
• To show relevant advertising where AdSense is approved

Cookies

The site may set cookies or local storage for session, analytics and advertising purposes. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some features.

Third parties

We use service providers that process data on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, email delivery and, where enabled, Google AdSense. When you leave this site to request installer quotes, the partner's privacy policy applies to information you submit there.

Data retention

We keep operational logs and stored calculation or click records only as long as needed for the purposes above, legal obligations or dispute resolution, then delete or anonymise them where practical.

Your choices

To request access, correction or deletion of personal information we hold about you, email hello@solarbatterycost.com.au. Australian privacy law may give you additional rights depending on the circumstances.

Children

This site is intended for adults researching home energy decisions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
