We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Where they apply to you, we also comply with the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and US state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Some of our service providers store or process personal information outside Australia. This includes the United States, Canada, Ireland and other EU countries, and the United Kingdom. Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to make sure it’s handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.

6. Advertising and analytics

We and our advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to show you ROWIE ads on other sites and platforms, based on how you interact with our Site and ads. You can manage or opt out of personalised ads here:

7. Cookies

Cookies are small files saved to your device when you visit the Site. We use:

  • Necessary cookies to run the store, such as your cart, checkout, login and region.
  • Analytics cookies to understand how the Site is used (Shopify and Google Analytics).
  • Marketing cookies to personalise and measure advertising (Meta, TikTok, Google, Pinterest, Klaviyo, Awin and ReferralCandy).

Most cookies expire between 30 minutes and two years after they’re set. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our cookie banner. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works. We don’t currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals.

8. Automated decision-making

We don’t make decisions that have a legal or similarly significant effect on you solely by automated means.

Our platform, Shopify, uses automated tools to help protect against fraud. These tools use order, payment, device and IP address information to assess the risk of a transaction. They may temporarily block IP addresses or cards linked to repeated failed transactions, and may flag orders for review. Flagged orders may be held or cancelled. If you think an order was wrongly declined, contact us at hello@rowiethelabel.com.

9. How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy, including to meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations. After that, we delete or de-identify it.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmitting information online is completely secure.

11. Your rights

You can ask to access or correct the personal information we hold about you by emailing hello@rowiethelabel.com. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to:

  • EU and UK residents: request erasure, restrict or object to processing, port your data, and withdraw consent. We process your information on the basis of your consent, to perform our contract with you, to comply with legal obligations, and for our legitimate interests.
  • California and other US state residents: know what we collect, and request access, correction or deletion. You can also use an authorised agent by contacting us.

We’ll respond within a reasonable time, and we may need to verify your identity first.
