Who we are
Materials Management Group Pty Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates this website.
Our website address is:
https://www.materialsmanagementgroup.com.au
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to operate our website, respond to enquiries, and provide our services.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is collected to help with spam detection and site security.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here:
After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images displayed on the site.
Contact forms
When you submit information through a contact form, we collect the details you provide (such as your name, email address, phone number, and message) solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. We do not use this information for marketing purposes unless you have explicitly consented.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so you do not have to re‑enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited that external website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third‑party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you have an account with and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our website. This information is aggregated and anonymised where possible and is used to improve website performance, usability, and content.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
Your data may be shared with trusted third‑party service providers where necessary to operate the website (such as hosting providers, spam detection services, or analytics providers), provided they comply with appropriate data protection and confidentiality obligations.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow‑up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request:
- An exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided
- That we erase personal data we hold about you
This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.
Some third‑party services we use may process data outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
Your contact information
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle personal information, you can contact us via the details provided on our website.
How we protect your data
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. This includes secure hosting, access controls, and regular system updates.
Data breach procedures
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, we will comply with our obligations under the Australian Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme, including notifying affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) where required.
Third‑party data sources
We do not knowingly receive personal data from third parties outside of standard website services such as analytics, hosting, and spam prevention tools.
Automated decision‑making and profiling
We do not use personal data for automated decision‑making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Industry regulatory requirements
We comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) where applicable.
