Information we collect

We collect information you give us, such as your name, email address, company and message when you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a form, create an account or list a business in our directory.

We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your browser type, pages visited and approximate location, using cookies and analytics tools.

How we use it

We use personal information to send newsletters you have asked for, respond to enquiries, manage directory listings and accounts, process payments for paid products, improve our website and meet our legal obligations.

Sharing your information

We don’t sell personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run Mining FM (for example email, hosting, payment and analytics providers), when you ask us to (for example sending an enquiry to a listed supplier), or when required by law. Some providers may store data outside Australia.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies to keep the website working, remember preferences and understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not work without them.

Marketing emails

We only send marketing emails with your consent. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.

Security and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, and we keep it only as long as we need it for the purposes above or as required by law.

Access, correction and complaints
