Our Commitment to Your Privacy
We care about your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, share, and store your data in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the most recent 2024 amendments.
What We Collect
We collect the information you provide when you interact with us—this might include your name, email, phone number, shipping address, payment details, or any messages you send us. We also collect data automatically through cookies and similar technologies to help us understand how you use our site.

We only collect what we need and don’t sell your data.
Third-Party Services
We use platforms like Shopify to host our store and tools like Google Analytics and Klaviyo for marketing and insights. These trusted partners help us run our business smoothly. They may store and process your information overseas, but only under strict agreements that protect your privacy.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies help us understand what’s working and what’s not. They let us offer you a better experience, remember your preferences, and show you more relevant content. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings.
Marketing Emails and SMS
If you’ve subscribed, we may send you updates, offers, and product news by email or SMS. These messages are only sent with your consent, and you can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or replying 'STOP' to SMS messages.
Automated Decisions
We sometimes use automated tools to help improve your experience with us. For example, these tools may recommend products you might like, trigger emails if you’ve left something in your cart, or personalise offers based on what you've browsed or purchased.
These decisions are made using software that looks at your interactions with our site and helps us respond in a more tailored way. In some cases, these systems may use artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning to make those decisions smarter over time.
You can contact us any time to ask how these systems work or how they might affect your experience.
Cross-Border Data Handling
Some of our partners, such as website hosts, email providers, payment processors, and analytics tools, are located overseas. This means your information may be stored or processed outside Australia (for example, in the US, Europe, or other countries with strong privacy protections).
We only work with service providers who meet high standards for data protection and who are contractually required to handle your information in line with Australian privacy laws.
Children’s Privacy
While our site and products aren’t intended for children, we’re committed to doing our part to protect young people’s data. We’ll be aligning with the upcoming Children’s Online Privacy Code and will promptly delete any children’s information collected without proper consent.
