Site policy
Privacy
The short version: we don't collect personal information about you, and there are no tracking cookies on this site.
What we collect
HealthMaps is a simple information website. There are no accounts and no sign-up forms. Tools like the cost calculator run entirely in your browser — nothing you type into them is sent or stored anywhere. The one exception is the feedback box — the Feedback button on every page, and the box in the footer — described below, which only sends what you choose to write.
We use server-side analytics provided by our hosting service (Netlify) to see aggregate numbers — how many people visit and which pages they read. This works from standard server logs, places no cookies in your browser, runs no tracking scripts, and doesn't build a profile of you. We can't identify individual visitors and don't try to.
Cookies
This site doesn't set cookies. That's also why you don't see a cookie banner.
The feedback box
Every page has a Feedback button in the bottom corner, and a feedback box in the footer. It's anonymous: we receive only the message you write and which page you sent it from. There's no name or email field, we can't identify who sent a message, and we don't try to. Submissions are stored by our hosting provider, Netlify, and used only to improve the site. Please don't include personal or health details you wouldn't want stored — and if you'd like a reply, email us instead.
If you email us
If you contact us by email, we'll see your email address and whatever you choose to tell us. We use it only to reply, we don't add you to any list, and we don't share it with anyone. Given the subject matter of this site, please share only what you're comfortable sharing.
Where the site is hosted
The site is hosted by Netlify, whose servers may be located outside Australia. Like any web host, Netlify's infrastructure processes standard technical data (such as IP addresses) to deliver pages to your browser. See Netlify's privacy policy for details.
External links
We link to external services (like Services Australia and crisis support lines). Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we don't control.
Questions
This policy reflects how the site works as of September 2026. If the site changes in a way that affects privacy, this page will be updated first. Questions about privacy: email jethrohedstrom@gmail.com.
