Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13 July 2026
Local Catch Global respects your privacy. We collect as little information as possible and use it only to operate the website, provide search results and answer enquiries.
What we collect
Searches
When you search, we may record:
- the town, suburb or place you searched for;
- the type of places you searched for;
- how many results were returned;
- the approximate locality connected with the search;
- an anonymous, one-way code used to estimate repeat visitors.
We do not store your raw IP address in our Search Insights records.
Search records are normally kept for up to 12 months and are then removed during routine cleanup.
Your location
If you choose Use my location, your browser will ask for permission.
Your exact coordinates are used briefly to find nearby results. We do not keep your exact coordinates in our search history. We may keep the name of the nearby town, suburb or region.
You can always type a location instead.
Contact form
If you send us a message, we receive the name, email address, subject and message you provide.
The website sends this information by email. It is not saved as a contact record in the website database. The email may remain in our mailbox until it is no longer needed.
Please do not send sensitive information through the contact form.
Technical information
Our hosting, security and caching services may process technical information such as:
- IP address;
- browser and device type;
- pages requested;
- dates and times;
- security and error logs.
This information helps keep the website working and protects it from misuse.
Cookies
The website may use essential cookies or similar technology for security, caching and administration.
We do not use advertising cookies, sell visitor information or build advertising profiles.
Why we use information
We use information only to:
- provide place and destination searches;
- understand which locations people are interested in;
- improve Local Catch Global;
- reply to messages;
- prevent spam, misuse and excessive requests;
- maintain and secure the website;
- meet legal obligations.
We use exact location only when you give permission.
Who may receive information
We use trusted service providers, including:
- GoDaddy, for website hosting, caching and security;
- Google Places, for place and location search results;
- Microsoft 365, for email;
- other technical providers needed to keep the website operating.
These providers may process information in Australia, the United States or other countries where they operate. Their own privacy policies also apply.
We do not sell or rent personal information.
Links to other websites
Local Catch Global may link to accommodation providers, eateries, Google Maps, booking services or other websites.
When you leave our website, the other website’s privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for how another website handles information.
Keeping information safe
We take reasonable steps to protect information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access.
No website or email system can promise perfect security, but we limit what we collect and restrict access to it.
Your choices and rights
You may:
- search without using your device location;
- ask what personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct or delete information;
- withdraw location permission through your browser;
- make a privacy complaint;
- object to or restrict certain uses where local law gives you that right.
Because most search information is anonymous, we may not be able to connect a search record to a particular person.
To make a request, email:
enquiries@localcatchglobal.com
We will respond within a reasonable time, normally within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or the privacy regulator in your country.
Children
Local Catch Global is a general travel and directory website. It is not designed to collect information from children.
Children should ask a parent or guardian before sending information through the contact form.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website or its services change. The latest version will always appear on this page with its updated date.
