Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you, in accordance with Australian privacy principles and recent digital privacy reforms.

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

  • Email address
  • First name and last name
  • Profile/account information you provide (e.g. job role, salary range, postcode)

We may use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, or other information that may be of interest to you. You can opt out of receiving such communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link in any email, or by contacting us directly.

  • Postcode, job type, job level, or salary range, if you choose to provide them
  • Any content, comments, or posts you save or upload to your profile

Providing optional data like salary range or job details helps us personalise content and provide more relevant recommendations. You remain free to omit or edit these fields at any time, and they will only be used to enhance your experience or compile de-identified/aggregated statistics.

3. Sensitive Information

We do not knowingly collect any sensitive information (e.g. racial/ethnic data, health data) under Australian law. If you believe you have provided us with sensitive data, please contact us so we can delete or otherwise appropriately protect it.

We may also collect information on how the Service is accessed and used (“Usage Data”), such as:

  • IP address, browser type, and browser version
  • The pages of our Service you visit, along with timestamps and durations
  • Unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data

This helps us understand how users interact with our content so we can improve performance and user experience.

Tracking & Cookies Data

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (e.g. beacons, tags, scripts) to track activity on our Service and maintain certain information. Cookies can be refused or removed in your browser settings, but disabling them may limit some features of the Service.

Examples of Cookies We Use

  • Session Cookies – to operate our Service
  • Preference Cookies – to remember your preferences
  • Security Cookies – for security purposes
  • Advertising Cookies – to serve ads that may be relevant to your interests

Use of Data

Man of Many Pty Ltd uses the collected data for purposes including, but not limited to:

  • Providing and maintaining the Service
  • Allowing you to participate in interactive features (e.g. commenting, saving posts)
  • Monitoring, analysing, and improving the Service
  • Sending updates or personalised content recommendations using automated decision-making (AI)
  • Protecting against misuse or potential doxxing, and ensuring the safety of our users
  • Detecting, preventing, and addressing technical issues

We rely on various legal grounds to process your Personal Data, such as performance of a contract, user consent, and legitimate interests, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act and relevant regulations (including upcoming digital privacy reforms).

Artificial Intelligence and Automated Decision-Making

We may use AI-driven algorithms to help personalise your experience or filter out inappropriate comments. Any automated decisions do not have a significant legal or major impact on your rights. These systems are primarily for content recommendations and community moderation. If you believe an automated moderation decision was incorrect or have questions about our use of AI, you can contact us and request a human review.

No Doxxing Policy

We are committed to compliance with anti-doxxing provisions under Australian law and will never share or publish your personal data in a way intended to expose or harm you. We strictly prohibit any user from maliciously posting another person’s private information on our platform. If you encounter doxxing or feel your personal data has been misused in this manner, please notify us at the contact details below, and we will take prompt action to investigate and remove infringing content.

Advertising & Data Matching

We may partner with advertising and analytics providers (e.g. ID5) for the purpose of delivering relevant ads or aggregated audience insights. Where permitted, we may share a hashed or coded identifier (e.g. hashed email) with these partners so they can recognise you across different sites in a privacy-respecting way. This helps us:

  • Avoid showing you repetitive ads
  • Show ads more aligned with your interests
  • Increase our ad revenue, which supports our free content

We treat hashed identifiers with the same care as direct personal information. Our partners are contractually bound to protect data and use it only for agreed purposes. You can opt out of data matching or targeted advertising at any time by contacting us or adjusting your cookie preferences. You will still see ads, but they may be less personalised.

Man of Many Pty Ltd may process your Personal Data based on:

  • The need to perform a contract
  • Your consent
  • Our legitimate interests, where not overridden by your rights
  • Compliance with the law

Retention of Data

We only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy (e.g. fulfilling legal obligations, dispute resolution, enforcing policies). Usage Data is retained for shorter periods unless necessary for security, functionality improvements, or legal reasons.

Transfer of Data

We operate primarily in Australia. If you provide information from outside Australia, your data will be transferred to, and processed in, Australia. We take all reasonable steps to ensure the secure handling of your data, in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Disclosure of Data

We may disclose your Personal Data under certain circumstances, including:

  • Business Transactions: Mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales
  • Legal Requirements: Compliance with lawful requests from public authorities or to protect the rights and property of Man of Many Pty Ltd or our users

Security of Data

We implement industry-accepted technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption, secure data storage, and staff training. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we continuously assess and update our security practices to reduce risks of data breach.

Do Not Track Signals (CalOPPA)

We do not support Do Not Track (“DNT”). You can enable or disable DNT in your browser settings.

Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR)

(For EEA Residents)

You have the right to access, update, delete, or object to the processing of your Personal Data under the GDPR. Contact us to exercise these rights.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals for service facilitation, including analytics and advertising. These third parties only access Personal Data to perform tasks on our behalf and are contractually obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

Our Service may contain links to external websites. We do not control and assume no responsibility for their content or privacy policies. Review each site’s privacy policy when visiting.

Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from minors. If you believe your child has provided Personal Data, please contact us. We will promptly remove such data.

Cookies Policy

Last updated: August 07, 2018

Man of Many Pty Ltd (“us”, “we”, or “our”) uses cookies on (the “Service”). By using the Service, you consent to the use of cookies.

Our Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Service, your choices regarding cookies, and further information about cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third-party to recognise you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you.

Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

How Man of Many Pty Ltd uses cookies

When you use and access the Service, we may place a number of cookies files in your web browser. We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • To enable certain functions of the Service
  • To provide analytics
  • To enable advertisement delivery, including behavioral advertising

We use both session and persistent cookies on the Service and we use different types of cookies to run the Service:

  • Essential cookies. We may use cookies to remember information that changes the way the Service behaves or looks, such as a user’s language preference on the Service.
  • Analytics cookies. We may use analytics cookies to track information on how the Service is used so that we can make improvements. We may also use analytics cookies to test new advertisements, pages, features, or new functionality of the Service to see how our users react to them.
  • Advertising cookies. These types of cookies are used to deliver advertisements on and through the Service and track the performance of these advertisements. These cookies may also be used to enable third-party advertising networks to deliver ads that may be relevant to you based upon your activities or interests.

Third-party cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third parties’ cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. Notwithstanding any other provision, we partner with third parties that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising to you. Our partners may place or recognise a cookie on your computer, device, or directly in our emails/communications, and we may share personal information with them if you have submitted such information to us, such as your name, postal address, email address, or device ID. Our partners may link the non-personal information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Our partners use this information to recognise you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. For example, our partners may deliver an ad to you in your web browser based on a purchase you made in a physical retail store, or they may send a personalised marketing email to you based on the fact that you visited a particular website.
