Your privacy is important to us. Learn how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your information.

Last updated: 11 August 2026

1. Introduction

Binary Elements Pty Ltd (“Binary Elements”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we access, collect, use, store, disclose, transfer, and safeguard personal information when you visit our websites at https://www.binaryelements.com and https://binaryelements.com (together, the “Site”) and when you use Binary Elements applications, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”), including any application that authenticates with Google OAuth or Google APIs.

This Privacy Policy is hosted on a domain we own and control, is dedicated to Binary Elements Pty Ltd and our Services, and is separate from our homepage. By accessing or using the Site or Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the Site or use the Services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you contact us, create an account, fill out forms, or interact with our Services, including your name, email address, phone number, organisation name, and any other information you choose to provide.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site or use the Services, we may automatically collect certain information, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits.

2.3 Information from Google (Google User Data)

When you sign in to or connect our Services using Google OAuth or Google APIs, we may access Google user data that you authorise through Google’s consent screen. Depending on the scopes you approve for the relevant Binary Elements application, this may include:

  • Basic profile information: your name, email address, Google account identifier, and profile picture
  • Authentication credentials: OAuth access tokens and refresh tokens required to maintain your signed-in session and authorised integrations
  • Additional Google API data (only if you grant those scopes): data from Google Workspace or other Google APIs that are necessary to provide the specific user-facing features you request in our application

We request only the minimum scopes required to provide the features you use. We do not request Google user data for speculative or unimplemented features. The exact categories of Google user data accessed for a given application are shown to you on Google’s OAuth consent screen before access is granted.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our Services
  • Authenticate users, manage accounts, and maintain authorised sessions
  • Provide user-facing features of the Binary Elements applications you use
  • Generate content drafts using AI-powered tools when you explicitly use those features (see Section 6)
  • Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
  • Monitor and analyse usage trends and site performance
  • Detect, prevent, and investigate security incidents, abuse, or fraud
  • Comply with legal obligations

We use Google user data solely to provide or improve user-facing features that are visible and prominent in the Binary Elements application that requested access, and for related security, support, and legal compliance purposes as described in this Privacy Policy.

4. Google API Services & Limited Use of Google User Data

Binary Elements’ use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Where Google Workspace scopes are used, our use of information received from Google Workspace APIs will also adhere to the Google Workspace User Data and Developer Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In particular, with respect to Google user data obtained through Google OAuth or Google APIs:

  • We access Google user data only after you grant consent via Google’s OAuth consent screen.
  • We use Google user data only to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent in our application’s user interface.
  • We store Google user data only for as long as needed to provide those features, maintain your account, or comply with law.
  • We do not sell Google user data.
  • We do not use or transfer Google user data for serving advertisements, including retargeting, personalised, or interest-based advertising.
  • We do not transfer or sell Google user data to data brokers or information resellers.
  • We do not use Google user data to determine credit-worthiness or for lending purposes.
  • We do not use Google user data, Google Workspace APIs, or data derived from them to develop, improve, create, or train non-personalised, generalised, foundational, or frontier AI and/or ML models.
  • We do not allow humans to read Google user data except with your explicit consent, for security/abuse investigation, where required by law, or where the data is aggregated and anonymised for internal operations.

Google OAuth credentials, tokens, and Google profile information are stored securely on our systems and are not sent to third-party AI providers. Content you voluntarily submit to AI-powered draft features is handled as described in Section 6 and does not include Google OAuth authentication data.

5. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the responsible body for the data processing that occurs via this website has their basis outside of the European Economic Area and Switzerland, then the associated Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC will hereinafter be referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files saved on the site visitor's computer, to help the website analyse their use of the site. The information generated by the cookie (including the truncated IP address) about the use of the website will normally be transmitted to and stored by Google.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()” on this website. This extension ensures an anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes a direct personal reference. Via this extension Google truncates the site visitor's IP address within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address that is provided by the site visitor's browser in using Google Analytics will not be merged by Google with other data from Google.

Google LLC offers a guarantee to maintain an adequate level of data protection on the basis of European standard contractual clauses. The data sent and linked to the Google Analytics cookies, e.g. user IDs or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached is carried out automatically, once a month.

The website visitor may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in their browser. They can also object to the future collection and storage of their IP address and the data generated by cookies, at any time via downloading this browser plugin and installing it: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Website analytics data collected via Google Analytics is separate from Google user data obtained through Google OAuth or Google Workspace APIs for application authentication and features. Analytics data is not used to train AI or ML models.

Further information is available in Google’s Analytics Terms and Google’s Privacy Policy.

6. AI-Powered Content Generation & Third-Party AI Providers

We use artificial intelligence services to assist with content generation (e.g. drafting text, images, and other creative assets) on behalf of our users. When you use our AI-powered features, the content you submit (such as prompts, instructions, or reference material) may be shared with the following third-party AI providers solely for the purpose of generating content drafts that provide the user-facing feature you requested:

6.1 Anthropic

Your content may be sent to Anthropic PBC (https://www.anthropic.com) via the Anthropic API. Anthropic processes this data only to generate content drafts as instructed by us. Anthropic does not use your data to train or improve their AI models. For Anthropic's full privacy practices, please refer to their Privacy Policy.

6.2 OpenAI

Your content may be sent to OpenAI OpCo, LLC (https://openai.com) via the OpenAI API. OpenAI processes this data only to generate content drafts as instructed by us. OpenAI does not use API input or output data to train or improve their AI models. For OpenAI's full privacy practices, please refer to their Privacy Policy and API Data Usage Policies.

6.3 Novita AI

Your content may be sent to Novita Tech Pte. Ltd. (https://novita.ai) via the Novita API. Novita processes this data only to generate content drafts as instructed by us. Novita does not use your data to train or improve their AI models. For Novita's full privacy practices, please refer to their Privacy Policy.

6.4 Important Limitations

Data is shared with these AI providers exclusively for draft generation purposes. None of Anthropic, OpenAI, or Novita use your data to train, fine-tune, or improve their foundational AI models. Data shared with these providers is processed only to return a generated output in response to your specific request, after which it is handled in accordance with each provider's standard data retention and deletion policies (typically not retained beyond what is necessary to fulfil the API request).

We do not send any Google OAuth authentication data (credentials, tokens, or profile information) or other Google user data obtained via Google APIs to any AI provider. Authentication and Google API data are stored securely on our servers and are never shared with third parties except as expressly described in Sections 4 and 7.

7. How We Share, Transfer, or Disclose Your Information

We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • AI Providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Novita): As described in Section 6, content you submit through AI-powered features is shared with these providers strictly to generate the requested content drafts. Your Google user data is not included. Submitted content is not used for model training.
  • Google: As described in Section 5, certain website analytics data may be processed by Google Analytics. Separately, when you authenticate with Google, Google provides us with the Google user data you authorise, as described in Sections 2.3 and 4.
  • Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site and delivering our Services (for example hosting, infrastructure, email delivery, and security monitoring), subject to confidentiality and data-protection obligations, and only to provide or improve our Services.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Binary Elements, our users, or the public.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, we may transfer information after obtaining any consent required by applicable law or Google policies.

We do not transfer Google user data to third parties for advertising, data brokerage, credit/lending decisions, or non-personalised AI/ML model training. Except as described above, we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information, including Google user data, only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide the Services you requested, maintain your account, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or as required or permitted by law. When the retention period expires for a given type of data, we delete or securely destroy it, or anonymise it so it can no longer be associated with you.

Google Analytics data is automatically deleted after 50 months. OAuth tokens are retained only while your account remains connected and are revoked or deleted when you disconnect Google, delete your account, or request deletion.

You may request deletion of your personal information, including Google user data we hold, at any time by contacting us at talk_to@binaryelements.com.au. You may also revoke our access to your Google Account at any time through your Google Account permissions page at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. After we verify your request, we will delete or anonymise the relevant data within a reasonable period, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

9. Data Security and Protection

Security procedures are in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data. We use industry-accepted encryption to protect your information in transit (for example, HTTPS/TLS) and encrypt sensitive data at rest, including OAuth access and refresh tokens and other credentials. We also apply access controls, least-privilege administrative practices, and monitoring designed to prevent unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security incident affecting Google user data, we will take appropriate steps to investigate, mitigate, and notify affected users and, where required, Google and regulators.

10. International Data Transfers

Binary Elements is based in Australia. Your information may be processed in Australia and in other countries where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers, such as contractual protections consistent with applicable privacy laws.

11. Your Rights (GDPR & Australian Privacy Act)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

  • Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to rectification: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
