For privacy-related enquiries, please contact us by email.

Personal information we collect

The information we collect depends on how you use the website.

When you place an order or create an account, where this option is available, we may collect information such as:

  • your name;
  • email address;
  • billing address;
  • shipping or delivery address;
  • telephone number where required for your order;
  • account details;
  • products purchased;
  • order and transaction information; and
  • information necessary to process, fulfil and deliver your order.
  • The website may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information and information necessary for website security and functionality.

If you contact us directly by email, we will receive the information you choose to provide in your email.

How we use your information

We may use your personal information to:

  • process and fulfil purchases;
  • arrange delivery of orders;
  • process payments and refunds;
  • communicate with you about an order;
  • respond to enquiries and provide customer support;
  • manage customer accounts where available;
  • prevent fraud and protect the security of the website;
  • maintain appropriate business, accounting and transaction records; and
  • comply with applicable legal, taxation and regulatory obligations.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Payments

Payments made through this website are processed using WooPayments, which works with Stripe’s payment infrastructure.

When you make a payment, information required to process the transaction may be provided securely to the payment provider. This may include your name, billing information, payment information and details relating to your transaction.

Complete credit or debit card details are not intentionally stored directly on this website.

Where you choose to save a payment method for future purchases, payment credentials are securely handled and stored by the payment platform rather than by Mal Stevens.

Payment providers process information in accordance with their own privacy and security practices.

Afterpay and other payment methods

Where payment options such as Afterpay, Apple Pay or Google Pay are made available at checkout, information necessary to provide that payment method may be processed by the relevant payment provider.

The availability of individual payment methods may vary depending on your device, location and other factors.

When using a third-party payment service, your information will also be subject to that provider’s privacy policy and terms.

Orders and delivery

When you purchase a physical product, we use the information you provide to process and deliver your order.

Where necessary, relevant information such as your name and delivery address may be provided to postal, courier or other delivery providers for the purpose of delivering your purchase.

We only provide information reasonably necessary for them to perform that service.

Customer accounts

If customer accounts are available on the website and you choose to create one, we may store the personal information you provide within your account.

You may be able to view or update certain information through your account.

Website administrators may also access account information where reasonably necessary to administer the website, process orders or provide customer support.

Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies necessary for the website and online store to operate correctly.

Cookies may be used to:

  • remember items placed in your shopping cart;
  • maintain your shopping session;
  • enable checkout and payment functionality;
  • remember certain preferences;
  • support customer account functionality; and
  • help protect the website and transactions from fraud or misuse.

Some cookies may also be set by services used to operate the website or process payments.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the website, including the shopping cart or checkout, from functioning correctly.

Comments and reviews

If comments or product reviews are enabled and you choose to submit one, we may collect the information you enter together with technical information such as your IP address and browser information for security and spam-prevention purposes.

If a comment or review is approved for publication, the name or display name you provide and the content of your comment or review may be publicly visible.

Embedded content and external websites

Pages on this website may include content from other websites, such as videos, images, social-media content or other embedded material.

Embedded content may behave in the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly.

Those third parties may collect information, use cookies or similar technologies, or record your interaction with their content in accordance with their own privacy policies.

This website may also contain links to external websites. Mal Stevens is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

Who we may share information with

We may share personal information with trusted third parties where reasonably necessary to operate the website, fulfil purchases and provide our services.

These may include:

  • website and e-commerce service providers;
  • WooCommerce and WooPayments;
  • payment processors;
  • postal, courier and delivery providers;
  • website hosting and technical service providers;
  • security, fraud-prevention and spam-detection services; and
  • professional advisers or authorities where disclosure is required or authorised by law.

We only disclose information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Email communications

If you contact us by email or make a purchase, we may use your email address to respond to your enquiry or send transactional communications relating to your order, payment, delivery, refund or customer service request.

We do not currently operate a marketing newsletter or mailing list through this website.

If marketing communications are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate and customers will be provided with suitable choices regarding those communications.

How long we retain information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable business, accounting, taxation, legal and security requirements.

Order and transaction records may therefore be retained after an order has been completed.

Where customer accounts are available, account information may be retained while the account remains active or as otherwise reasonably necessary.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

Our website and payment services use security measures intended to protect information transmitted online.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accessing or correcting your personal information

You may contact us if you would like to request access to personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.

You may also request deletion of personal information where appropriate.

In some circumstances, we may need to retain certain information for legal, taxation, accounting, fraud-prevention, security or administrative purposes.

Children’s privacy

This website and online store are not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children without appropriate consent.

If you believe personal information relating to a child has been provided to us inappropriately, please contact us.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, products, services, technology or applicable requirements.

The current version will be published on this page and the Last updated date will be changed accordingly.
