We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly. This policy explains how we collect, use, hold and disclose personal information when you visit our website, contact us or purchase products.

We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), Australian Privacy Principles and other applicable privacy laws to the extent they apply to our business.

  • Account information if you create an account.

  • Payment status, transaction references and payment method information.

  • Create an account.

  • Contact us.

  • Subscribe to marketing communications.

We may also receive information from payment, freight, fraud-prevention and website service providers.

  • Manage returns, refunds, warranty claims and customer support.

We will not use information for an unrelated purpose unless permitted by law or required consent is obtained.


5. Payment Information

Payments are processed using the payment methods and third-party services available at checkout.

We may receive payment status, transaction identifiers, billing details and refund information.

We do not intend to store complete payment card numbers or card security codes on our own website systems. Payment information is handled by the relevant payment providers under their security practices and privacy policies.

Where third-party payment or buy-now-pay-later services are offered, those providers may collect and process information under their own terms and privacy policies.


6. Sharing Your Information

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

  • Payment processors and payment service providers.

  • Freight companies, couriers and depot operators.

  • Website hosting, ecommerce and technical support providers.

  • Email, customer service and marketing platforms.

  • Accountants, legal advisers, insurers and professional service providers.

  • Fraud-prevention and security service providers.

  • Government authorities or regulators where required or authorised by law.

We take reasonable steps to ensure providers handle information appropriately and disclose only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

We do not sell customer contact information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.


7. Overseas Disclosure

Some technology, hosting, payment, email or other providers may store or process information outside Australia.

Where overseas disclosure is likely, we will take reasonable steps required by applicable privacy law to ensure appropriate handling.

Important: Before publication, this section should be updated to identify the countries in which overseas recipients are likely to be located, where practicable, based on the services actually used by Oz Camp Adventure Gear.


8. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Operate the shopping cart.

  • Remember preferences.

  • Maintain security.

  • Understand website usage.

  • Improve customer experience.

Where enabled, analytics or advertising technologies may collect information about visitor interactions. Some of this information may constitute personal information depending on whether an individual can be identified or reasonably identified.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and any website controls we provide. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

We will provide additional notices or consent options where required by applicable law.


9. Marketing Communications

We may send promotional emails or SMS communications about products, offers and events where we have your consent or are otherwise permitted by law.

Marketing communications will identify Oz Camp Adventure Gear and include a clear unsubscribe method.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. We will action unsubscribe requests within the legally required timeframe.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent necessary order, delivery, warranty or customer service communications.

A one-off purchase or enquiry is not automatically treated as consent to unrelated marketing.


10. Storage and Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information against:

  • Misuse.

  • Interference.

  • Loss.

  • Unauthorised access.

  • Modification.

  • Unauthorised disclosure.

Security measures may include access controls, secure payment processing, software updates, backups and limiting access to people who need information for legitimate business purposes.

No online system is completely secure. However, we remain responsible for applicable privacy obligations and will respond to suspected security incidents accordingly.


11. Retention of Information

We retain information as reasonably necessary for:

  • Collection purposes.

  • Order fulfilment.

  • Warranty support.

  • Business records.

  • Legal and regulatory obligations.

When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it unless retention is required or permitted by law.
