What information we collect
We collect information you give us directly — for example, when you contact us through this site, sign a licence agreement, attend a townhall or working group, or subscribe to our updates. This may include name, organisation, role, work email and phone, and any information you include in your messages to us.
How we use it
- To respond to enquiries and run our partner programmes.
- To run working groups, townhalls, and the standard's release process.
- To meet our regulatory and audit obligations as an Australian not-for-profit.
- To send relevant updates about the standard. You can opt out of these at any time.
Who we share it with
We do not sell personal information. We share it only with our service providers (hosting, email, accounting), our auditors, and, where relevant, peak bodies and partner institutions acting on a need-to-know basis. Anyone we share information with is bound by equivalent obligations of confidentiality and security.
Security
We apply security controls proportionate to the sensitivity of the information we handle. Our information-security management system is being developed in line with recognised industry standards.
Your rights
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it (subject to our legal obligations). Email hello@mortarcaps.org with your request.

This site uses minimal first-party cookies for navigation. We do not use third-party advertising trackers. If we add privacy-respecting analytics, we will update this page first.
