Who we are
This Privacy Policy applies to all services provided by Arrowroad Financial Planning Pty Ltd, including our main website (arrowroad.com.au) and our educational blog (blog.arrowroad.com.au). For the purposes of Australian Privacy Laws, Arrowroad Financial Planning is the ‘data controller’ for both properties.”
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.
Google Account Login (Social Login) Wording
Social Login (Sign-in with Google): Our blog allows you to log in and comment using your Google Account. By using this social login, you authorize Google to share certain personal information with us, which may include your name, email address, and profile picture.
This data is used solely to identify you as the author of your comments and to manage your account. We do not share your Google profile data with third parties except as necessary for site functionality or as required by law. You can manage or revoke this access at any time through your Google Account security settings.
Cookies
We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our blog. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info. Our site also uses standard cookies to analyze traffic and improve your reading experience
If you use our social login feature to leave a comment, we will set temporary cookies to remember your login session. These cookies are strictly for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
For example, if we embed a YouTube video, Google may collect information such as your IP address and browsing activity to provide personalized recommendations or ads. You can manage your privacy settings directly on those third-party platforms.
Who we share your data with
Internal & Licensee Sharing: We share information between our blog (blog.arrowroad.com.au) and our primary business site (arrowroad.com.au). As an Authorised Representative of Platinum Wealth Advisory Pty Ltd (AFSL 558788), data may be shared with our licensee to ensure compliance with financial services regulations.
Google AdSense: If you have opted into personalized ads, your data (via cookies) is shared with Google and its partners to serve relevant advertisements.
Service Providers: We may share data with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our blog, such as website hosting and email marketing services, provided they agree to keep this information confidential.

How long we retain your data
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile.

What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
