Information from Third Parties
We may receive information about you from vendors and service providers who support our Site, such as Shopify (our e-commerce platform) and our payment processors. Any information obtained from third parties is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
How We Use Your Personal Information
- Providing Products and Services. We use your personal information to process payments, fulfil orders, manage your account, arrange shipping, and facilitate returns and exchanges.
- Marketing and Advertising. We may use your information to send promotional communications and show you relevant advertisements. You can opt out at any time. If you are an EEA resident, the legal basis for this is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
- Security and Fraud Prevention. We use your information to detect and prevent fraudulent or malicious activity. We recommend keeping your account credentials safe and contacting us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.
- Service Improvement. We use your information to provide customer support and improve our Services.
Cookies
We use cookies to power and improve our Site, remember your preferences, and run analytics. For details on Shopify's cookies, see shopify.com/legal/cookies. We may also allow third parties to use cookies on our Site for advertising purposes.
You can set your browser to reject cookies, but this may affect site functionality. Blocking cookies may not fully prevent information sharing with advertising partners.
Cookie Consent for EU Visitors
If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies, in accordance with the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preferences link in the footer.
We recognise the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out request for sharing and targeted advertising. Learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org.
How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose your personal information in the following circumstances:
- With vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processing, shipping, analytics, cloud storage).
- With business and marketing partners, who will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices.
- When you consent to disclosure, such as through social media integrations.
- Within our corporate group, in our legitimate interests to run our business.
- To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, or protect our rights.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share certain data with marketing partners for targeted advertising. Where applicable law defines this as a "sale" or "sharing", you have the right to opt out — see Your Rights below.
Third Party Websites and Links
Our Site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and recommend reviewing their policies before providing any personal information.
Security and Retention
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
As a general guide to how long we retain your information:
- Order and transaction data: 7 years from the date of purchase, for Australian tax and legal compliance.
- Account information: for as long as your account is active, and a reasonable period thereafter.
- Marketing preferences: until you opt out or request deletion.
- Usage and analytics data: up to 2 years.
After the applicable period, we will securely delete or anonymise your information unless a longer retention is required by law.

- Correction: request that we correct inaccurate information.
- Portability: receive a copy of your information or request its transfer to a third party.

- Withdraw consent: where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
- Appeal: appeal our decision if we decline your request.
- Communication preferences: opt out of promotional emails at any time using the unsubscribe link. We may still send transactional emails about your account or orders.
