How MILLIBEAM collects and uses personal information. Effective 5 November 2026.
This policy explains how Millibeam Pty Ltd collects and uses personal information through millibeam.com. It applies Australian privacy law and, for visitors in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, the EU and UK GDPR.
Millibeam Pty Ltd (ABN 15 646 980 529), Suite 145, 4 Cornwallis Street, Eveleigh NSW 2015, Australia ("MILLIBEAM", "we", "us") decides why and how your personal information is used. That makes us the "controller" under the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR, and an "APP entity" under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
We collect only what we need to run the website and respond to people who contact us.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of data, and our website is not aimed at children. If you give us someone else's details, please make sure they know and are happy for you to do so.
Under the EU and UK GDPR we need a legal basis for each use. Ours are:
| What we do | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Reply to enquiries and send requested datasheets or catalogues | To answer you and deliver what you asked for | Legitimate interests (running our business and helping prospective customers), or steps you request before a contract |
| Keep a record of our dealings in our CRM | To follow up, support and manage the relationship | Legitimate interests |
| Send product updates and the newsletter | To keep you informed about new products | Consent (the optional box on our forms), which you can withdraw at any time |
| Contact business customers and prospects about relevant products | B2B marketing to work contacts | Legitimate interests, with an easy way to opt out |
| Measure website use with analytics cookies | To understand what works and improve the site | Consent, through the cookie banner |
| Measure and improve our LinkedIn advertising | To see which ads lead to enquiries | Consent, through the cookie banner |
| Identify which companies visit the site | To prioritise follow-up | Consent for the cookie, then legitimate interests for follow-up |
| Meet legal obligations and protect our rights | Accounting, legal claims, security | Legal obligation or legitimate interests |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed them against your rights, and you can object at any time (see section 8). Under the Australian Privacy Act, we collect and use your information for these purposes because it is reasonably necessary for our business, and you consent to it by providing it. If you choose not to give us your details, we may not be able to respond to you.
If you are in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, we set only the cookies the site needs to work until you choose otherwise. A banner lets you accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or choose by category. Visitors elsewhere are told about cookies here and can change their choice at any time. You can reopen your choices at any time with the COOKIES link at the bottom of every page, and withdrawing consent removes our cookies.
| Category | What it does | Provider | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Runs the site and remembers your cookie choice (mb_consent) | MILLIBEAM, Webflow | Up to 180 days |
| Analytics | Measures site use (_ga, _ga_*) and stores your first visit details (mb_ft) | Google Analytics 4, MILLIBEAM | Up to 2 years (Google), 180 days (mb_ft) |
| Analytics | Identifies which companies visit the site | Leadfeeder (Dealfront) | Set by the provider |
| Marketing | Measures LinkedIn ad performance and conversions | LinkedIn Insight Tag | Set by LinkedIn |
Cookie names and lifetimes are set by the providers and may change over time.
You can also block cookies in your browser settings. Some features may not work if you do.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
We require each provider to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us. Social media platforms and other sites you use to talk to us are separate controllers, and we cannot control what other users do with information you post there.
We are based in Australia, and our providers operate in Australia, the United States, the European Union and other countries. So your information may be transferred outside the EU, EEA and UK. Where it is, we rely on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or on a provider's participation in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where that applies. You can ask us for a copy of the safeguards in place using the contact details in section 1.
The European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for Australia, so we rely on the safeguards above.
For Australian law, before disclosing information overseas we take reasonable steps to make sure the recipient handles it consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
| Information | How long |
|---|---|
Cookie choice and first-visit details (mb_consent, mb_ft) | Up to 180 days in your browser |
| Enquiry and CRM records | While we have an active relationship, then reviewed after 24 months of inactivity and deleted or anonymised unless we need them to meet a legal duty or handle a claim |
| Marketing consent records | For as long as the consent is valid, plus a short period to prove it was given |
| Google Analytics data | 14 months |
When we no longer need information, we delete it or remove anything that could identify you.
Depending on where you live, you have these rights over your personal information:
To use any of these rights, email info@millibeam.com. We may ask you to confirm who you are, and we aim to reply within one month (30 days under Australian law). Access is free unless a request is clearly excessive.
We do not make decisions about you using only automated processing that has legal or similarly significant effects.
Complaints. Please contact us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to your supervisory authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner's Office, the data protection authority in your EU country, or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
We use organisational and technical measures to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, change or disclosure. Access is limited to people who need it. No internet service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach is likely to put your rights at risk, we will tell the people affected and the regulators where the law requires it.
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always on this page, and we will note material changes at the top. This policy takes effect on 5 November 2026.

MILLIBEAM acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands throughout Australia where we live and work today. We celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to the Elders both past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
