Privacy Statement

Effective date: February 2026
Last updated: February 2026

Overview

The TFA Matrix (tfa.notastandard.org) is operated by Not A Standard Pty Ltd. We take your privacy seriously — particularly given the sensitive nature of the subject matter on this site.

The short version: We don't collect your personal information. This site doesn't use accounts, analytics, tracking cookies, or contact forms. The only data stored is on your own device, under your control.

What We Collect

Nothing. This website is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages. We do not:

  • Collect your name, email address, or any personal information
  • Use analytics or tracking tools (no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no equivalent)
  • Use cookies
  • Store any data on our servers
  • Track which pages you visit
  • Log your IP address (though our hosting provider GitHub may — see below)

What's Stored on Your Device

This site uses your browser's localStorage to save two preferences:

  • tfa_view_preference — whether you prefer the Public or Technical view
  • tfa_safety_banner_dismissed — whether you've dismissed the browser safety banner

This data is stored locally on your device only. It is never transmitted to us. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

Hosting Provider

This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc. GitHub may collect technical information such as IP addresses in server logs as part of operating the hosting service. This is governed by GitHub's privacy statement.

We do not have access to GitHub's server logs.

External Links

This site contains links to external services and resources, including:

  • 1800RESPECT (1800respect.org.au)
  • eSafety Commissioner (esafety.gov.au)
  • JotForm (for the "Submit a Pattern" form)
  • GitHub (for the source code repository)
  • Not A Standard (notastandard.org)

These external sites have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them. In particular, the "Submit a Pattern" form is hosted by JotForm and is subject to JotForm's privacy policy.

Children's Privacy

This site does not knowingly collect any information from children or any other person. No information is collected.

Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have rights regarding your personal information. Since we do not collect personal information through this site, these rights are not directly engaged by your use of this website.

If you have submitted information through the "Submit a Pattern" form (hosted by JotForm) and wish to have it amended or deleted, contact us at the details below.
