Privacy policy

Last updated 13 November 2026

Farther (“we”) is a budget-first travel site operated from Melbourne, Australia. We collect as little as we can. This page says what, why, and what you can do about it. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.

What we collect

• Your email address, only if you join the waitlist. We store it, whether you have confirmed it, and the times you signed up, confirmed or unsubscribed.
• A scrambled version of your IP address when you submit the waitlist form. We use it only to stop abuse (a limit on sign-ups per connection). It cannot be turned back into your address, and we delete it within 24 hours.
• Ordinary server logs kept by our hosting provider for security and troubleshooting.

The planner on our home page runs in your browser. The budget and choices you enter there are not sent to us or stored. We don’t use advertising trackers, and we don’t sell or rent your information.

Why we use it

To confirm your sign-up and to email you when Farther opens. We won’t use your email for anything else without asking you first.

Who handles it for us

• Supabase stores the waitlist, in Sydney, Australia.
• Resend sends our emails and may process them outside Australia, including in the United States.
• Vercel hosts the website and may process requests outside Australia.

These providers act on our instructions and may only use your information to provide their service to us.

Cookies and storage

We store one preference in your browser: whether you chose the light or dark theme. We set no tracking cookies. If this changes we will update this page and ask first where the law requires it.

Unsubscribing and deleting your data

Every email we send has an unsubscribe link. After you unsubscribe we keep your address on a do-not-email list so we never email it again. To have it deleted entirely, or to see or correct what we hold, email hello@getfarther.net and we will respond within 30 days.

Keeping it safe

The waitlist database can’t be read from the public internet. Only our server can reach it. No system is perfectly secure, and if we ever have a data breach that is likely to cause you serious harm, we will tell you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as the law requires.

Complaints

Tell us at hello@getfarther.net first and we will try to fix it. If you are not satisfied you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
