Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how My Hardship Letter ("we", "us") handles information when you use myhardshipletter.com.

The hardship letter tool

The letter tool runs entirely in your web browser. The answers you type, including your name, contact details, account numbers and financial situation, are not sent to us or stored by us. When you close or refresh the page, they're gone. If you choose to email the letter to yourself, it is sent through your own email app, not through us.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our website host may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and the date and time of your visit. This is used to keep the site running, secure and to understand how it is used.

Contact form and emails

If you contact us, we'll receive the details you choose to send, such as your name, email address and message. We only use them to reply to you. Please don't send us personal financial details or account numbers.

Cookies and advertising

This site may use cookies, including cookies from third parties such as Google.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
  • To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Sharing your information

We don't sell your personal information. We only share information with service providers that help us run the site (such as our website host and advertising partners), or where the law requires it.

Links to other websites

Our site links to other websites, such as Moneysmart, AFCA and the National Debt Helpline. We're not responsible for their privacy practices.

Your choices and questions

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by contacting us. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
