Pixite Pty Ltd operates and manages Calm Brolly. We are not an insurer or Australian financial services licensee unless expressly stated.
We use service providers (hosting, analytics) under appropriate arrangements. We do not sell your personal information. When you follow a partner link, that third party becomes an independent collector of any information you provide to them.
Some processors may be located outside Australia. Where that occurs, we take reasonable steps consistent with APP 8.
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or de-identify it.
You may request access to, and correction of, personal information we hold about you. You may complain to us first at info@pixite.com.au. If you are not satisfied, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner: oaic.gov.au.

Company website: pixite.com.au. We publish editorial articles and practical guides about personal and household insurance topics for readers in Australia.
Content is for general information only. It is not personal financial product advice, insurance advice, or a recommendation to buy, cancel, or switch any product unless clearly labelled otherwise.
You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use. You must not copy, scrape, or republish substantial parts of the Site without written permission; use the Site unlawfully; attempt unauthorised access; or misrepresent your affiliation with us.

The Site may link to comparison services, insurers, and other third parties. We do not control external websites. Some pages are advertorial or contain affiliate or referral links — we may receive compensation when you click through or engage with a partner. Partner sites have their own terms and privacy policies. Sponsored and advertorial content is labelled where practicable.
When you complete a quiz or click a call-to-action button, you may be directed to a third-party service such as Finder. That service is solely responsible for its offers, pricing, eligibility decisions, and data handling.
We aim to keep information accurate but do not warrant that content is complete, current, or error-free. Insurance products, premiums, and Product Disclosure Statements change frequently. Verify details with the product issuer and official sources such as Moneysmart and ASIC before acting.
To the fullest extent permitted by Australian law (including the Australian Consumer Law), we exclude liability for loss arising from use of the Site or reliance on its content, except where liability cannot be excluded by law.
These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Courts in New South Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction, subject to your non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
