Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy describes how rasoishop.shop collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects personal information when customers visit our website, purchase products, contact us, or otherwise interact with our online services.

Where the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) apply to our activities, we aim to handle personal information consistently with those requirements.

The APPs govern matters including collection, use and disclosure, security, overseas disclosure, access, and correction of personal information.

  • IP address;
  • Cookie identifiers;

4. Shopify

Our online store uses Shopify's ecommerce platform.

Shopify provides technology that enables us to display products, operate checkout, process orders, manage transactions, and provide other ecommerce functionality.

Information submitted through rasoishop.shop may therefore be processed through Shopify's systems.

Shopify also operates its own privacy and security practices in relation to its services.

5. Payment Processing

Payment information may be processed by payment providers selected or made available through Shopify.

These providers may receive information necessary to process and verify payments, such as:

  • Card details;
  • Billing information;
  • Transaction amount;
  • Transaction identifiers;
  • Fraud-prevention information.

Customers should not send complete credit or debit card details to us by ordinary email.

6. Disclosure to Service Providers

We may disclose relevant personal information to providers that help operate the store, including:

  • Shopify;
  • Payment processors;
  • Financial institutions;
  • Shipping carriers;
  • Fulfilment providers;
  • Warehousing providers;
  • IT providers;
  • Cloud hosting providers;
  • Customer service systems;
  • Email communication services;
  • Analytics services;
  • Fraud-prevention providers;
  • Professional advisers.

Information will generally be disclosed only to the extent reasonably necessary for the relevant service.

7. Cross-Border Processing

Some Shopify, payment, technology, logistics, analytics, and other service providers may operate outside Australia.

As a result, personal information may sometimes be processed or stored in other countries.

Where APP 8 or another applicable privacy requirement applies to an overseas disclosure, we will take reasonable steps required by applicable law concerning that disclosure.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

rasoishop.shop may use:

  • Cookies;
  • Pixels;
  • Tags;
  • Local storage;
  • Analytics technologies;
  • Similar online technologies.

These technologies may help us:

  • Operate the shopping cart;
  • Remember preferences;
  • Maintain sessions;
  • Analyse traffic;
  • Improve website performance;
  • Prevent fraud;
  • Understand website usage;
  • Measure advertising effectiveness.

Customers may be able to manage cookies through browser or device settings.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent certain parts of the website from operating correctly.

9. Marketing Communications

Where permitted by law, we may send marketing messages to customers who have consented or where another lawful basis applies.

Customers may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not necessarily stop transactional communications relating to:

  • Existing orders;
  • Shipping;
  • Returns;
  • Refunds;
  • Security;
  • Customer service.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable steps designed to protect personal information from:

  • Misuse;
  • Interference;
  • Loss;
  • Unauthorised access;
  • Unauthorised modification;
  • Unauthorised disclosure.

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

Customers should also protect their account information and passwords.

APP 11 specifically addresses security of personal information for organisations subject to the APPs.

11. Data Retention

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes such as:

  • Processing transactions;
  • Managing orders;
  • Handling refunds;
  • Customer service;
  • Accounting;
  • Tax or regulatory requirements;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Dispute resolution;
  • Legal compliance.

When information is no longer reasonably required and applicable law does not require continued retention, we may delete, destroy, or de-identify it as appropriate.

12. Access to Personal Information

Where applicable under Australian privacy law, individuals may request access to personal information we hold about them.

Requests should be sent to:

info@rasoishop.shop

We may take reasonable steps to verify identity before providing access.

APP 12 addresses individuals' rights to access personal information held about them where the APPs apply.

13. Correction of Personal Information

Customers may ask us to correct personal information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading.

Correction requests may be sent to:

info@rasoishop.shop

APP 13 addresses correction of personal information for APP entities.

14. Privacy Complaints

If you believe your personal information has been handled improperly, contact:

info@rasoishop.shop

Please explain the nature of your concern and provide enough information for us to investigate.

We will consider privacy complaints and respond within a reasonable period.

Where applicable, nothing prevents an individual from raising a complaint with the relevant privacy regulator.

15. Children's Privacy

Our online store is intended for individuals who are legally capable of making purchases or are purchasing with appropriate authorisation.

We do not intentionally seek unnecessary personal information from young children.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has improperly submitted personal information to us, contact:

16. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to independent websites.

We do not control the privacy practices of those third-party websites.

Customers should read the privacy policies of independent websites before providing personal information to them.

17. Legal Disclosure

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law;

  • Our technology changes;
  • Our service providers change;
  • Legal requirements change;
  • Shopify functionality changes.

The updated Privacy Policy will be published on rasoishop.shop with a revised effective date.

Australian privacy guidance states that an APP privacy policy should be clearly expressed and kept up to date where the Privacy Act applies.
