Privacy Policy

How we collect, use and protect your personal information.

Last updated: 10 August 2026

Who we are

Maintenance Untangled is a joint initiative operated by Johnstone Business Intelligence and Asset Optimisation Maintenance Coaching. We provide maintenance, reliability and leadership resources including podcasts, articles, calculators, audits, checklists, academy content and consulting services through this website.

What information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and some information automatically:

  • Account information: When you sign up or log in we collect your email address and a unique user identifier through our authentication provider.
  • Billing information: Paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe. We do not store complete payment card details on our servers; Stripe handles payment data under its own privacy and security standards.
  • Usage data: We may collect anonymised analytics such as pages visited, time on site, and feature usage to help us improve the site.
  • Communications: If you contact us, we keep the email address and message content so we can respond.
  • Server logs: Our hosting and database providers automatically log technical data such as IP address, browser type and request timestamps for security and reliability.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain your account and access to tools and resources;
  • Process payments and manage subscriptions;
  • Communicate with you about updates, content and support requests;
  • Improve the website, fix issues and understand how features are used;
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect the security of the site.

How we store and protect information

Data is stored with reputable cloud service providers using encryption in transit and at rest. Access is limited to those who need it to operate the site. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers needed to run the site (for example, authentication, payment processing and hosting) and when required by law.

Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences and collect anonymised usage statistics. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Your rights

Under Australian privacy law you have the right to access and correct the personal information we hold about you. You can also request deletion of your account and associated data, subject to any legal obligations that require us to keep records.
