Welcome to The Mid North Toast Examiner — The Mid North Coast’s most trusted source of unverified news, dubious insight, and community complaints we may or may not have made up. We proudly publish from the damp and slightly flammable corner of the internet known as [jnk.au], where facts are optional but entertainment is compulsory.

1. What We Collect (and Why)
When you interact with our site, we may collect:
Your name and email address (if you subscribe or fill out a form)
Your IP address and browser info (to help us improve the site and ward off bots)
Any message or story tip you submit through our forms (including confessions, gossip, or outrage)
We use this data to:
Send you emails you actually signed up for
Respond to your questions or business enquiries
Improve the site and keep it running smoothly
Occasionally giggle at funny comments (anonymously, we promise)
2. How We Store Your Info
Your info is stored securely using reputable services with encryption, firewalls, and a general disdain for hackers. Only our small team (and possibly our office cat, Toast) can access it — and only for legit reasons.
We don’t sell your data. Not to marketers. Not to spammers. Not even to people who claim to be “AI visionaries.”
3. Third-Party Services
We may use trusted third-party tools like:
Google Analytics – to see what parts of the site are actually working
Email services – to send you newsletters, updates, and memes disguised as satire
Form platforms – to collect your scandalous submissions safely
These services are bound by their own privacy policies. We recommend reading them if you're the careful type.
4. Cookies (Not the Edible Kind)
Like most websites, we use cookies to make things work better. These tiny text files help us remember who you are and where you clicked. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features might act a bit wonky if you do.
We do not currently accept Tim Tams in exchange for data, but we’re open to negotiations.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to:
Access your personal information
Correct or update any data we hold about you
Unsubscribe from emails at any time (every email has a clear link for this)
Ask us to delete your data (unless it’s currently involved in a joke we're really proud of — in which case we’ll talk)
To do any of the above, just contact us at [your email address here].
6. Changes to This Policy
We might update this policy from time to time, especially if we start doing anything interesting with AI or get sued (hopefully not). If we make major changes, we’ll let you know by shouting about it on the homepage or emailing you directly.
7. Contact
Questions? Concerns? Toast-related fan mail?
Email us below. We’ll get back to you faster than you can say "defamation lawsuit."


We search out rule breakers with curiosity that can not be satisfied by passively reading. Only by serious investment can a person such as this be happy.
Support this nonsense!
