He Is Not Your Project ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website at heisnotyourproject.com.au or interact with our programs and services.

- Story submissions — personal accounts and experiences you voluntarily share through our Real Stories feature.
- Usage data — information about how you interact with our website, including pages visited, time spent, and referring URLs, collected via analytics tools.

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities.

3. Disclosure of your information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with:
- Service providers — trusted third-party providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering our services (such as email platforms and analytics providers), bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Legal requirements — where we are required to disclose information by law, court order, or government authority.

4. Sensitive information
Some of the information you share with us — particularly through our Real Stories feature — may be sensitive in nature, including information relating to personal experiences of domestic violence or relationship harm. We treat all such information with the highest level of care and confidentiality. We will never publish identifiable sensitive information without your explicit written consent, and we will never use it in a way that could cause you harm.
5. Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Our website uses industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Cookies and tracking
Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyse site traffic. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of our website. Where we use analytics tools, data is collected in aggregate and de-identified form where possible.
7. Third-party links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including crisis support services and external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
