Personal Information We Collect

In general, you can browse our website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We are however, automatically able to collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers).
We refer to this information as “Order Information.” “Order Information” is mandatory data and if you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a purchase for example, you will not be able to purchase our products or engage in our services.
The website contains links to established third party banking processing agents Afterpay and PayPal and distribution institutions Australia Post. If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, our online store is hosted on Shopify Inc. Shopify stores your credit card date. Your credit card and order information is encrypted and secure. Shopify is Level 1 PCI compliant. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard for organizations that handle credit card and debit card information. The standard was created to increase controls around credit card data to reduce credit card fraud via its exposure. Shopify uses 256-SSL certificates to keep order details secure. This is the same level of encryption used by large banks to keep your information secure.
These companies have their own privacy policies concerning what information we are required to provide them regarding your purchase transactions and delivery information.
