Privacy policy

Marrickville Makers is a community website for the makers, studios and events on and around Sydney Street, Marrickville. This policy explains what personal information the site collects, why, and what we do with it. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

You don’t need an account to use the site. We don’t use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we don’t build profiles of visitors.

Like any website, our hosting provider keeps short-lived server logs (your IP address, browser and the pages you asked for) to keep the site running and secure.

The street map is drawn from map data served by this site itself, from OpenStreetMap. An address link opens Google Maps, which has its own privacy policy once you follow it.

We keep your email address so we can send you sign-in links and connect you to the maker page you look after. Signing in sets a cookie that keeps you signed in; it is only set when you sign in.

Whatever you publish on your page (your business name, address, opening hours, photos and events) is public, because that is what the site is for. You can change or unpublish it at any time.

We share personal information only with the services that run the site, and only what they need:

• Supabase: our database, sign-in and photo storage, hosted in Sydney.
• Vercel: hosting, which may serve pages from outside Australia.
• Mapbox: looks up an address when a maker types one in, so the address it sees is a business address, not yours.

We don’t sell, rent or trade personal information.

We keep a maker’s email address while their account is in use. Ask us and we will delete your account and the information that goes with it.

Email us at will.little.wl@protonmail.com and we will reply within 30 days.

If you have a concern about how we have handled your information, email us at will.little.wl@protonmail.com first. If you are not happy with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

If the way the site handles personal information changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
