Spenderoo Waitlist Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 2024
1. About This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the "Waitlist" and "Pre-Launch" services provided by Spenderoo ("we," "us," or "our") via our websites Spenderoo.com and Spenderoo.com.au.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This document explains how we collect, hold, use, and disclose your personal information.
2. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for us to manage our pre-launch waitlist and communicate with you. This includes:
- Contact Information: Your email address.
- Technical Data: The time and date of your signup and the "source" of your visit (e.g., whether you clicked a link from social media or a search engine).
- Preferences: Whether you have opted in to receive our budgeting tips newsletter.
3. How We Collect Your Information
We collect information directly from you when you:
- Enter your email address into our launch countdown form.
- Tick the checkbox to opt-in for budgeting tips.
4. Purposes for Handling Your Information
We collect, hold, and use your information for the following primary purposes:
- Launch Notifications: To notify you when the Spenderoo app is officially launched or when beta access becomes available.
- Direct Marketing (If Opted-In): If you have agreed to receive budgeting tips, we will use your email to send you educational content, news, and promotional material related to personal finance.
- Analytics: To analyze the effectiveness of our marketing channels (based on the "source" data) to improve our services.
5. Disclosure of Information (Third Parties)
We do not sell your personal information. However, to provide our services, we share data with trusted third-party service providers:
- Database Hosting: Our data is securely stored using Supabase.
- Email Delivery: We use Resend to facilitate the delivery of our emails.
6. Overseas Disclosure
Some of our third-party service providers (such as Supabase and Resend) may store data on servers located outside of Australia (for example, in the United States). By providing your personal information to us, you consent to your information being held and processed overseas in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
7. Data Retention
We will retain your personal information until the end of the lifecycle of the Spenderoo app, or until you unsubscribe from our communications, whichever occurs first. Once your information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.
8. Your Rights (Spam Act 2003)
We are committed to complying with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth).
- Consent: We only send marketing emails (budgeting tips) if you have expressly opted in.
- Unsubscribe: Every email we send contains a functional "unsubscribe" link. You can use this link to opt out of the budgeting tips or the launch notification list at any time.
9. Security of Your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. This includes using secure databases (Supabase) and encryption protocols. However, no data transmission over the internet is guaranteed to be 100% secure.
10. Access and Correction
Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and request corrections if it is inaccurate. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.

12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
