Privacy

1. About this policy

This policy explains what happens to information when you use onhollies (the “Service”) at onhollies.com.au. The Service is operated by Jesse Paul Lawson (ABN 74 487 718 335), trading as onhollies (“we”, “us”, or “the operator”). It describes what the Service actually does, in plain English. If anything here is unclear, contact us (section 10).

2. The short version

onhollies is a public and school holiday date lookup tool. There are no accounts and no logins. We don’t ask you for your name, email, or any personal details to use it, and we don’t build a profile of you. We use privacy-friendly, anonymous analytics to see how the Service is used, and a few standard third parties (our host, our analytics provider, and a weather service) necessarily receive basic technical data such as your IP address. We don’t sell your data.

3. Information you give us

The Service has no sign-up, login, or account, and no forms that ask for personal information as part of normal use. The only time you give us personal information is if you choose to contact us (section 10) — then we receive whatever you put in your message, and use it only to reply.

4. Information stored on your own device

To remember your preferences, the Service saves a small amount of information in your browser. This stays on your device and is not sent to us:

• your selected state(s), holiday filter, calendar view, and whether regional holidays are shown — kept in your browser’s local storage; and
• one small functional cookie (“oh_state”) that remembers your chosen state so we can take you straight to that state’s page. It holds only a state code (like “NSW”), lasts up to a year, and is not used to track you.

You can clear this at any time through your browser settings.

5. Information collected automatically

As with any website, some technical information is received automatically when you visit:

• Hosting (Cloudflare). The Service is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. As the host and content-delivery network, Cloudflare receives standard request data — including your IP address and browser type — to deliver the site and keep it secure. Cloudflare also gives us an approximate location (your state or region, estimated from your IP) which we use momentarily to send you to the right state’s page. We don’t store it.
• Analytics (PostHog). We use PostHog to understand how the Service is used — for example which pages are viewed and which features are used — so we can improve it. This analytics is anonymous: there are no logins, we don’t create a named profile of you, and there is no session recording. An anonymous identifier is kept in your browser’s local storage (not a cookie). PostHog receives usage events, your IP address (used to estimate approximate location), and basic device and browser information, and also collects error reports if something on the site breaks. PostHog processes this data on servers in the European Union.

6. Weather information

When the Service shows current weather (the small weather icon and the “today” panel), your browser fetches it directly from Open-Meteo, a third-party weather service. Open-Meteo receives your IP address and the coordinates of the relevant state capital city — not your actual location. If weather doesn’t load, the rest of the Service works normally.

7. Who receives your information

We keep third parties to a minimum. At launch they are:

• Cloudflare — hosting and delivery (receives request data such as your IP);
• PostHog — anonymous usage analytics (processed in the EU); and
• Open-Meteo — weather data for the weather feature (receives your IP when weather loads).

Each receives only what it needs to do its job. We don’t share your information with anyone else, and we don’t sell it or use it for advertising.

8. Cookies

The Service uses one cookie — the functional “oh_state” cookie described in section 4. We don’t use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and our analytics is configured to work without cookies. That’s why you won’t see a cookie consent banner.

9. Your choices

• You can clear the stored preferences and cookie at any time in your browser settings.
• You can block or limit analytics with your browser’s privacy settings or a tracker blocker; the Service still works.
• You can contact us with any question about your information (section 10).
