What this site does

This site is a set of static pages describing Bourne Cloud's services and products. There is no login and no account system, and we run no advertising or cross-site tracking. Two things here can collect something about you, and both are described below: the analytics this site runs, and the enquiry form on our contact page. That page also loads Cloudflare's Turnstile anti-spam widget, which may use its own browser storage — see "Spam protection". One further third party is involved after you press send, but not in your browser: the service that delivers your enquiry to us as an email. See "What we collect when you contact us".

Analytics, and how to refuse it

We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages people find useful and how they reached us. It runs on every visit and it sets cookies in your browser to do so. We do not ask first, and there is no button on this site to switch it off. That is a deliberate choice and this paragraph exists so it is not a hidden one.

Google Analytics records the pages you view, roughly where in the world you are, and what kind of device and browser you used, and its cookies let it tell a returning visit from a new one. It does not receive your name or email address, and we do not link it to anything you send us through the form. We have turned off Google Signals, advertising storage and advertising personalisation, so what is collected is used to count and group visits, not to build an advertising profile of you. Google processes this data on servers outside Australia, so using this site discloses it to an overseas recipient.

You can refuse it, from your side of the connection, in any of these ways: block or clear cookies for this site in your browser settings; turn on your browser's tracking protection (Firefox, Safari and Brave block Google Analytics by default in their stricter modes); install Google's own Analytics Opt-out Add-on; or use a content blocker. The site works identically with analytics blocked — nothing here depends on it.

Analytics also does not run at all if your browser has JavaScript disabled, and we set no analytics cookie in that case.

Separately, Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page views for this site. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, it does not identify you or follow you between sites, and we see only aggregate totals — which pages were viewed, and from roughly which country. It cannot be switched off from this site, because Cloudflare measures the requests as they pass through its network rather than from your browser's storage.

What we collect when you contact us

You can reach us by phone, by email, or through the enquiry form on our contact page. The form asks for your name, email address, an optional phone number and your message. It also records which page you submitted from and any campaign parameters in the link you arrived by, so we can tell what prompted the enquiry. What the form collects is delivered to us as an email through Resend, a transactional email provider we use for this one purpose. Resend processes your enquiry only to deliver it, and its servers are located outside Australia, which means your details are disclosed to an overseas recipient in the course of reaching our inbox. Our own mailbox is Microsoft 365. We use all of this only to respond to you and, where relevant, to deliver the work you've asked us about. We do not sell it, and we do not share it with third parties except where necessary to provide a service you've asked for (for example, a subcontractor engaged on your project) or where the law requires it.

Spam protection

The enquiry form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that submissions come from a person rather than an automated script. Turnstile is provided by Cloudflare and receives your IP address and basic browser information in order to make that assessment. It does not track you across sites and does not set advertising cookies.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry and client correspondence for as long as it's relevant to the relationship, and delete or archive it when it's no longer needed for that purpose or for our legal and accounting obligations.

There is one exception worth stating plainly. If the form accepts your message but the delivery step then fails, everything the form recorded is written to our hosting provider's error log — your name, email address, phone number and message, the page you submitted it from, and any campaign parameters from the link you arrived by. We do this so a delivery failure cannot silently lose your enquiry without anyone noticing. Those logs are held by Cloudflare, are retained for at most seven days and cannot be extended by us, and are not copied anywhere else. This happens only when delivery fails. When the form works normally, nothing you wrote is put in a log — only a reference number and a timestamp, which say that an enquiry happened but nothing about who sent it or what it said.

Getting in touch about your data

If you want to know what we hold about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted, email info@bournecloud.com.au or call +61 493 493 010. We'll respond directly.

Changes to this notice

If what this site does changes — a new third-party component, a different analytics provider, or anything else that collects more than this page describes — it will be updated to say so honestly, with a new "last updated" date above. Analytics was added on September 15, 2026; before that date this site ran none and set no cookies. Until September 18, 2026 a banner asked before analytics loaded and declining left the site cookie-free; that banner was removed on that date and analytics now runs for every visitor, as described above.
