Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Makao Group Pty Ltd (“Makao”, “we”, “our” or “us”) handles personal information collected from people who visit our website at makao.com.au (the “Site”) or who otherwise share personal information with us.
[OCTOBER 2026]

At Makao, we value your trust. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit makao.com.au or otherwise engage with us. We want you to feel confident that your information is handled with care and transparency.

‍

1. Information We Collect

‍

We collect two kinds of information:

  • Non-personal information: Technical and usage details that don’t identify you (e.g. browser type, device, language settings, pages visited). This helps us improve our website and services.
  • Personal information: Details that can identify you, such as your name, email address, phone number or company, provided when you contact us, request a quote or work with us.

We also use third-party tools, including Google services, that help us understand how our site is used and how people find us through Google search advertising.

‍

2. How We Use Your Information

‍

We only use your information for purposes connected to providing and improving our services, such as:

  • Communicating with you about projects, updates, and support.
  • Sending you relevant news and insights (only if you have opted in).
  • Improving our website, services, and client experience.
  • Fulfilling legal and regulatory obligations.
  • Understanding how visitors find and use our website, including measuring the performance of our Google search ads.

We never sell or rent your information to third parties.

‍

3. Sharing Information

‍

We may share your information with trusted service providers who help us run our website and deliver our services (such as website hosting, analytics and Google advertising). They are required to keep your information secure and use it only for the purposes we engage them for.

‍

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect against fraud, or to safeguard the rights, property, or safety of Makao, our clients, or others.

‍

In the event of a corporate transaction (e.g. merger or sale), your information may be transferred to the new entity with the same level of protection.

‍

‍

4. Cookies and Analytics

‍

Like most websites, we use cookies and analytics tools to:

  • Keep the site running smoothly.
  • Remember your preferences.
  • Measure how our Google search ads perform.
  • Analyse how people use our site so we can improve it.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of the site may not work as intended. You can also manage how Google uses your information for advertising through Google’s My Ad Center (myadcenter.google.com).

‍

5. Your Rights

‍

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, you can:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete.
  • Ask us to delete personal information we no longer need, where the law allows.
  • Make a complaint about how we have handled your personal information.
  • Withdraw consent for marketing at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@makao.com.au. We will respond within a reasonable period. Some requests may be subject to legal or regulatory requirements.

‍

6. Data Retention

‍

We keep your information only as long as needed to provide our services and meet our legal obligations. Once it’s no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it.

‍

7. Safeguarding Your Data

‍

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. While no system is completely secure, we review our practices regularly.

Some of our service providers (for example, Google) may store or process information outside Australia. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.

‍

8. Marketing Communications

‍

If you have given us permission, we may send you updates or invitations we think you will find useful. You can opt out at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” or contacting us.

‍

We’ll still send essential service-related communications where necessary (for example, about your project).

‍

9. Children’s Privacy

‍

Our website and services are not designed for children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe your child has shared data with us, please contact us.

‍

10. Updates to This Policy

‍

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Modified” date below and post the updated policy on this page.
