The Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles establish requirements concerning personal-information handling for entities to which that framework applies.

We seek to manage personal information transparently and responsibly and, where Australian privacy legislation applies to us, in accordance with applicable requirements.

Personal Information We May Collect

Depending on how you interact with armedangelsx.shop, we may collect information such as:

  • Name;
  • Email address;
  • Telephone number where provided;
  • Billing information;
  • Shipping information;
  • Order details;
  • Products purchased;
  • Payment-related transaction information;

  • Device information;
  • Website interaction information;
  • Cookie and similar technology information;
  • Fraud-prevention information; and
  • Information voluntarily provided to us.

We seek to collect information reasonably necessary for our legitimate business activities and customer transactions. APP 3 provides that an APP entity should collect personal information reasonably necessary for its functions or activities.

Payment Information

Payments may be processed using Shopify-supported or other third-party payment providers.

Depending on the payment method selected, payment credentials may be processed directly by the relevant payment service rather than stored directly by armedangelsx.shop.

We may receive transaction information necessary for:

  • Confirming payment;
  • Processing orders;
  • Administering refunds;
  • Preventing fraud;
  • Maintaining transaction records; and
  • Responding to disputes.

We may also receive information from service providers involved in providing ecommerce functionality.

armedangelsx.shop may use cookies and similar technologies to support:

  • Website functionality;
  • Shopping-cart functionality;
  • Checkout;
  • Customer preferences;
  • Security;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Analytics;
  • Website performance; and

Customers may be able to control certain cookies through browser settings or available consent-management tools.

Disabling necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

Marketing Communications

Where permitted by applicable law, we may send customers information about products, services, promotions or store updates.

Customers may unsubscribe from marketing emails through the unsubscribe mechanism contained in those communications or by contacting:

info@armedangelsx.shop

APP 7 regulates the use or disclosure of personal information for direct marketing by organisations covered by the APP framework.

Transactional communications relating to an existing order may continue even when a customer has opted out of promotional marketing.

We may disclose information to service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the store.

Recipients may include:

  • Customer-support providers;
  • IT and security providers;
  • Analytics providers;
  • Professional advisers;
  • Government authorities where legally required; and
  • Other parties where disclosure is authorised or required by law.

We do not authorise third parties to use personal information for unrelated purposes merely because they provide services to us.

International Data Handling

Because ecommerce technology, cloud infrastructure, payment services, analytics providers and logistics networks may operate internationally, personal information may in some circumstances be processed or accessible outside Australia.

Where Australian privacy requirements concerning cross-border disclosures apply, we seek to handle international disclosures consistently with applicable requirements.

APP 8 addresses steps that covered entities must take in connection with overseas disclosure of personal information.

Where practicable, information concerning relevant overseas processing may also be provided through our service providers' privacy documentation.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures designed to protect information against:

  • Loss;
  • Misuse;
  • Unauthorised access;
  • Unauthorised modification;
  • Unauthorised disclosure; and
  • Other inappropriate handling.

APP 11 requires APP entities to take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes including:

  • Completing transactions;
  • Maintaining order records;
  • Processing refunds;
  • Resolving disputes;
  • Preventing fraud;
  • Meeting accounting requirements;
  • Meeting legal or regulatory obligations; and
  • Establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, destroyed or de-identified where appropriate and legally permitted.

Access and Correction

Where applicable, you may request access to personal information we hold about you or request correction of inaccurate information.

APPs 12 and 13 address access to and correction of personal information under the Australian privacy framework.

Requests may be sent to:

info@armedangelsx.shop

We may need to verify your identity before providing access to personal information.

  • Suspicious transactions;
  • Unauthorised payment activity;
  • Account abuse;
  • Chargeback fraud;

  • Prevent fraud;
