BrickOutlook is operated by Fat Dog Labs Pty Ltd (we, us and our).
This policy explains the current version of BrickOutlook. It describes our handling of information; it does not ask you to waive privacy rights or consent to unrelated uses of your information.
Calculator information stays in your browser
The calculators process inputs in your browser. Our application does not send property figures, names, addresses, tax assumptions, notes or checklists to a BrickOutlook database or AI service. There is no BrickOutlook account or cloud-sync service.
Where available, local browser storage holds your draft, saved properties and preferences on this device. The purchase-budget calculator holds a separate draft and has separate import and export controls. First-home navigator selections stay in the open page; no application is submitted. Imported session files are processed locally by the application.
You can clear records through the site controls or your browser's site-data settings. Clearing site data removes the locally stored copy, not exported files or copies held elsewhere. Blocking storage may leave information only in memory until the page closes. We cannot retrieve or delete records held only on your device. See saving and recovery options.
Shared links and downloaded files
A share link contains encoded inputs in the part of the URL after #. Encoding is not encryption. Property names and refinance figures are included; address and tax details are optional. Notes and checklist entries are excluded from these links. Anyone who can access the site and obtains the complete link can read the included information.
The URL fragment is not normally sent with the HTTP request to the host, but it remains accessible in your browser and may be copied into browser history, synced browsing records, messages or tools you use. A shared snapshot cannot be revoked or updated in copies someone already holds. Downloads contain the information selected for that export. Only include another person's information if you have authority to use and share it.
Hosting and access information
BrickOutlook is hosted on Cloudflare. Visiting a hosted page sends normal connection information to the hosting infrastructure, which can include your IP address, requested page, browser and device information, timestamps and security or access records. This is separate from the calculator inputs processed locally.
Cloudflare provides hosting, content delivery and security services. It may process connection information to deliver pages, prevent abuse and maintain the service. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy. Hosting and associated processing may occur outside Australia, including in the United States and other locations used by the provider. We have not configured Australian-only hosting. BrickOutlook does not require visitors to sign in.
Browser assistants and extensions
In compatible browsers, the site exposes tools that a browser assistant can use to read the current analysis or stage a scenario. BrickOutlook does not automatically call an AI model. If you use an assistant, extension, browser-sync feature or other third-party tool, it may access visible information or tool results under its own permissions and privacy practices. Review those permissions before entering sensitive information.
Information you choose to send us
If you contact us through a working contact channel, we may receive your name, contact details, message, attachments and correspondence history. We use that information to respond, investigate issues, handle complaints, discuss a requested commercial relationship, protect the service and meet legal obligations. Avoid sending identity documents, account credentials or detailed financial records unless specifically needed and requested.
We may disclose relevant correspondence to service providers, professional advisers or authorities where reasonably needed for these purposes or required or authorised by law. We do not claim ownership of your personal information or permission to use it for unrelated marketing.
Advertising, analytics and external links
This version contains no embedded advertising network, analytics service, tracking pixel, external font service or AI API. There are no active paid placements or referral arrangements. The partnership email is a clearly labelled placeholder and is not monitored. We do not currently sell calculator information or send it to brokers, banks or agents.
Following an external link takes you to a provider with its own privacy practices. Before introducing analytics, lead collection or referral sharing, we will describe the actual handling and obtain any consent required by law. This policy is not advance permission for those activities.
Retention and security
Local data remains subject to your browser settings until you or the browser remove it. Exported files and shared copies remain wherever you or their recipients keep them. Host records follow the provider's retention arrangements; we do not promise a particular deletion period for those records.
For information we receive and hold, we take reasonable safeguards against unauthorised access, use and disclosure. We retain it only as reasonably needed for the purpose received, legal obligations or resolving disputes, then take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it where required. No internet, email or device storage system is risk-free. This does not limit our responsibilities under applicable law.
Access, correction and complaints
You may ask about personal information we hold about you, request access or correction, or raise a privacy complaint using the contact details below. Explain the issue and the outcome you seek; we may need reasonable evidence of identity before disclosing information. We aim to respond within 30 days, or explain if more time is needed. If a request cannot be granted, we will explain why where permitted by law.
Requests about device-only calculator records are handled through your browser or exported files, because we do not hold those records. For host-account information, use the host's privacy channels. If Australian privacy law applies and you remain dissatisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. Other rights and complaint avenues available under applicable law remain unaffected.
Policy updates
We update this policy when actual handling changes and display the revision date. Material changes will be explained on the site as appropriate. Updating a policy does not itself authorise a new use of information already collected or replace any consent required by law.
