Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ReferralMate collects, uses and shares information when you visit referralmate.com.au, submit a referral code, report an offer or contact us.

Information we collect

We collect information you choose to provide, which may include your display name, email address, referral code or link, offer details, report reasons and messages sent to us. Please do not submit passwords, payment details or other sensitive information.

When you use the website, we and our service providers may automatically receive technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring page, approximate location, timestamps and interactions with the website.

How we use information

We use information to operate and improve ReferralMate, review and manage submissions, verify and refresh offers, respond to enquiries and privacy requests, prevent spam and abuse, measure website performance, understand how visitors use the site and meet legal or security obligations.

Cookies and analytics

ReferralMate uses cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions, contributor access, analytics, security and advertising. Cookies are small files stored by your browser. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may then work differently.

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and usage. Google Analytics may collect information about your device, browser, approximate location and activity on ReferralMate. You can learn how Google handles information from sites that use its services in Google's Privacy & Terms information, and you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Google advertising cookies

ReferralMate may use Google AdSense to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to ReferralMate or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this website and other websites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising or manage your advertising preferences through Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' uses of cookies for personalised advertising at YourAdChoices. Where required by law or Google policy, visitors will be given choices about advertising cookies and personalised advertising.

Google is currently the advertising vendor identified by ReferralMate. If additional third-party advertising vendors or ad networks are used, this policy will be updated with relevant information and opt-out options.

Service providers and disclosure

We may share information with providers that help us operate the website, such as hosting, database, email, analytics, security and advertising services. These providers may process information on our behalf or under their own privacy terms. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the website, or in connection with a business transfer. ReferralMate does not sell personal information.

Data retention and security

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the referral directory, handling disputes, preventing abuse and meeting legal obligations. We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no internet service or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and privacy requests

You may ask us to access, correct or delete personal information associated with a submission, subject to any legal or operational requirements. You can also report an invalid referral code from the relevant brand page and manage cookie or advertising choices using the controls described above.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our practices, service providers or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised last-updated date.
