We are committed to transparency and comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) and GDPR standards where applicable.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better experience and fulfill your orders securely. This includes:

Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Email address, name, billing address, and order identifiers provided during checkout or registration.

Transaction Data: Details of the items you purchase and your history with our Service.
Communication Data: Information provided via our Contact Form, Discord support tickets, or direct email correspondence.
Computer & Log Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. This helps us monitor security and optimize performance.
Location & Analytics: We utilize services to determine your general geographical location (Region/Country) to provide relevant pricing and localized content. Anonymous usage data is collected to improve site functionality.
Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences (such as currency and region), track your **loyalty point progress**, and keep you logged in. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some site features may become unavailable.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly for legitimate business purposes:

3. Automated Marketing & Recovery Flows

Consistent with our Terms of Service, providing your email during checkout constitutes agreement to be enrolled in our automated communication system. This system uses your purchase history to send relevant reminders and rewards. You have the absolute right to opt-out of these non-essential communications at any time via the "Unsubscribe" link in any email footer.

4. Third-Party Data Sharing & Public Information

AussyELO does not sell or rent your personal data. However, certain information may be shared or made public as follows:

Customer Reviews: If you choose to leave a review, your provided name (or alias) and review content will be publicly visible on our website to assist other shoppers.

Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information.
Erasure: Request the deletion of your personal data (the "Right to be Forgotten"), subject to legal holding requirements.

6. Security

We utilize industry-standard SSL encryption and secure database protocols to protect your data. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
