Privacy Policy
Version 2026-11-10b. In force from 10 November 2026.
Michael Vincent Pty Ltd (ABN 62 673 109 245) ("we", "us") runs the Land Filter Chrome extension. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and what you can do about it. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
What we collect
- Full name, email address and mobile number, which you give us when you create an account.
- Account records: when you signed up and last signed in, and a record of each time you agreed to these terms or changed your marketing choice.
- Subscription records: your plan (monthly or yearly), its status, and when it renews or ends, plus a Stripe customer reference. Your card details are entered on Stripe's own payment page and go straight to Stripe: we never see or store them.
What the extension reads on listing pages
Only after you agree in the extension, and only on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au search results pages you open, the extension reads each listing's address, price, property type and advertised land size, so it can check the listing against your criteria. On these sites' map views it also reads which listing each map pin stands for, and its map position, which the page already contains, so it can colour that pin. It does not read any other websites, and on these sites it reads only these listing details.
To look up land and planning information, it sends each listing's street address, and then the map position of the lot, directly from your browser to these Australian government services. Each service receives only what it needs for its own lookup:
- Victoria: Department of Transport and Planning (Vicmap address, property, planning and easement data).
- New South Wales: Spatial Services (address and cadastre) and the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (planning maps).
- Queensland: Department of Resources (address locator and cadastre), State planning data, and council planning-scheme maps for Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Logan, Redland and Gympie.
- Tasmania: the LIST (Department of Natural Resources and Environment).
- Australian Capital Territory: ACT Government (ACTmapi).
- Western Australia and South Australia, which have no free address search: only the listing's map position is sent, to Landgate's SLIP service (WA) and Location SA (SA).
On realestate.com.au and domain.com.au sold results pages you open, the extension reads each sale's price, sale date and property type to show a price summary for that page. These aren't saved or sent anywhere. If you click "Use as my sale price", that figure is saved in your browser's extension storage as part of your feasibility numbers.
Some of these services are hosted on Esri ArcGIS Online, which processes the request on the agency's behalf. Results are saved on your own computer for 30 days so pages load faster. You can withdraw your agreement at any time in the extension's Account tab, which stops all reading of listing pages straight away.
Email alerts (optional)
If you set up email alerts:
- Saved searches (up to 5 sets of buying criteria, including any feasibility numbers you entered, such as sale prices and costs) are stored in our database so we can check new listings against them while you're not browsing. Only you can see them.
- You get a private Land Filter email address to use with realestate.com.au and Domain. Emails sent to it are received by our email provider, Resend, and read by our server. Listing alerts are read to find each listing's address, price, type, land size and link, and each address is looked up with the government services listed above. Other emails from those websites (for example "confirm your email" or password resets) are passed on unchanged to the email address on your Land Filter account. Emails from anyone else are ignored. We don't keep the emails themselves.
- If you have no saved searches with alerts on, listing alerts are passed on to you unfiltered, so you don't miss them.
- We keep only what's needed to avoid sending you the same listing twice: a one-way code (hash) of each listing we emailed you, and counts and times for each forwarded email (for example "12 listings checked, 1 match"). We don't keep the listings' addresses or prices. Government land data for an address is cached for 30 days under a one-way code.
- Matching listings are emailed to the email address on your account.
Anonymous popularity counts
When you save your buying criteria, the extension sends us an anonymous copy with a random code for your browser, not linked to your account, name or email. We use these copies only to count which criteria are popular (for example how many people filter for a zone), and we only look at totals of 5 or more people.
What we don't collect
- The listings you look at. Listing details and addresses go only to the government services listed above, never to us or to our database.
- Your buying criteria, linked to you, unless you save them as an alert search. They are saved in your browser's extension storage (if you use Chrome sync, Google syncs them between your devices). Only the anonymous copy described above reaches us.
- Your browsing history, or anything on websites other than the supported listing pages.
Why we collect it
- To create and secure your account, and to sign you in with a one-time code sent to your email.
- To contact you about your account and the service, by email or on your mobile. This includes service changes and security notices.
- To keep customer records, which help us support you and run the business.
- Marketing (news and offers) only if you tick the optional box. You can turn it off at any time in the extension's Account tab or with the unsubscribe link in any marketing email. Marketing messages follow the Spam Act 2003.
We don't sell your personal information.
Who we share it with
Service providers who help us run Land Filter, and only for that purpose:
- Supabase (account database and sign-in), hosted in Sydney, Australia.
- Stripe (subscription payments, invoices and receipts). Stripe receives your name, email address and card details, and is based in the United States and Ireland.
- Resend (sending sign-in codes, account emails and alert emails, and receiving the emails sent to your Land Filter address). These emails are processed on Resend's servers in Japan (Tokyo), and Resend is based in the United States.
- ImprovMX (forwarding emails you send to support@landfilter.com.au to our inbox), based in the United States.
Some of these providers, and Esri ArcGIS Online mentioned above, are overseas (the United States, Ireland and Japan), so your information may be handled outside Australia. We use only providers that protect it with security measures and contract terms.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Storage and security
Your details are stored in an access-controlled database. Each person can see and change only their own record. We keep your details while you have an account, and delete them when you delete your account, except records we must keep by law, such as payment and tax records. Anonymous popularity counts aren't linked to you, so they aren't deleted.
Your choices and rights
- See and correct your name, mobile and marketing choice at any time in the Account tab, or ask us for a copy of what we hold.
- Delete your account in the Account tab. This removes your details and consent history from our database straight away.
- Complaints: contact us first at support@landfilter.com.au. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
Chrome Web Store user data
The use of information received through the Land Filter extension adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use it only to provide Land Filter's single purpose: finding property listings that match your land and planning criteria. We don't sell it, use it for advertising, or use it to decide credit-worthiness, and people at Michael Vincent Pty Ltd only read it with your permission, for security, or where the law requires.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the version above and tell you in the extension before the change takes effect.
