Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy describes how meshkiax.shop collects, uses, discloses, stores and otherwise handles personal information when individuals visit our website, purchase products, communicate with us or otherwise interact with our online store.
We recognise that privacy is important and seek to handle personal information responsibly, transparently and securely.
Where the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles apply to our activities, we intend to handle personal information consistently with those requirements. APP 1 requires covered entities to manage personal information openly and transparently and maintain a clearly expressed and current privacy policy.
Privacy enquiries may be directed to:

Personal Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with meshkiax.shop, we may collect personal information including your name, email address, telephone number, billing information, delivery address, account information, order history, products purchased, customer-service correspondence, return and refund information and other information you voluntarily provide.
When you use the website, technical and usage information may also be collected, including IP address, device information, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, referring pages, session information, cookie identifiers and information concerning how visitors interact with our website.
Payment-related information may be processed through Shopify, payment gateways, financial institutions or other payment service providers.
We do not necessarily receive or store complete payment-card details.
How We Collect Information
Personal information may be collected directly from you when you submit information through checkout, create or use an account, communicate with customer service, submit a return request, sign up for permitted communications or otherwise interact with our store.
Information may also be collected automatically through cookies, pixels and similar technologies.
We may receive information from service providers involved in payments, fraud prevention, fulfilment, delivery, analytics, ecommerce infrastructure and customer support.
Where the APPs apply, solicited personal information generally must be reasonably necessary for one or more of the organisation's functions or activities.
Purposes for Which We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to provide and operate the store; process purchases and payments; confirm, fulfil and deliver orders; communicate regarding orders; provide customer support; process cancellations, returns and refunds; prevent fraud and unauthorised transactions; maintain website security; improve products and services; understand website use; maintain business records; administer promotions; satisfy legal and regulatory requirements; enforce our policies; and resolve complaints or disputes.
We may also use information for marketing where permitted by law and in accordance with applicable consent and opt-out requirements.
Personal information will not knowingly be used for unrelated purposes where doing so would be inconsistent with applicable privacy law.
Shopify and Ecommerce Infrastructure
meshkiax.shop uses Shopify ecommerce technology.
Information provided through the store may therefore be processed through systems operated by Shopify and other ecommerce technology providers involved in enabling online transactions, hosting, checkout, security or related functions.
We may also use payment gateways, fraud-prevention providers, fulfilment partners, carriers, analytics providers, customer-support services and other technology vendors where reasonably necessary to operate the store.
Payment Information
Payments are processed using payment options offered at checkout.
Payment processors and financial institutions may independently collect information necessary to authorise and process a transaction.
We seek to limit our own handling of complete card information and rely on established payment infrastructure where appropriate.
Customers should also review any privacy information presented by the applicable payment provider.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
meshkiax.shop may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage and similar technologies.
These technologies may be used to maintain essential site functions, remember preferences, enable shopping-cart functionality, maintain sessions, improve security, prevent fraud, analyse website traffic, understand customer interactions and support permitted advertising or marketing functionality.
Some cookies may be necessary for the operation of the website, while others may support analytics, preferences or advertising.
Browser settings and other available privacy controls may allow visitors to restrict certain cookies. Disabling essential technologies can affect store functionality.
Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use meshkiax.shop.
Analytics information can include page views, device characteristics, browser information, referring websites, approximate location derived from technical information and interactions with store features.
This information may be used to diagnose technical problems, improve site navigation, understand product interest and improve the customer experience.
Marketing Communications
Where permitted, meshkiax.shop may send marketing communications to customers or subscribers who have provided consent or where another lawful basis exists.
Commercial electronic messages sent to Australian recipients are subject to requirements including consent, sender identification and functional unsubscribe arrangements. ACMA states that marketing messages generally require consent and must provide a way for recipients to stop receiving them.
Every commercial electronic message for which the Spam Act requires an unsubscribe facility will include an appropriate means of unsubscribing.
ACMA states that unsubscribe requests under the Spam Act generally need to be honoured within five working days.
Customers may also contact info@meshkiax.shop to request removal from marketing communications.
Transactional messages concerning orders, payment, security, delivery, returns or other service matters may still be sent where necessary.
Direct Marketing and APP 7
Where APP 7 applies, personal information will only be used or disclosed for direct marketing in circumstances permitted by that principle.
Individuals will be provided with appropriate opportunities to opt out, and applicable opt-out requests will be implemented without charge.
OAIC guidance states that where APP 7 permits direct marketing, individuals must be able to request that their information not be used for direct marketing and organisations must give effect to such requests.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to providers assisting with ecommerce hosting, payment processing, fraud prevention, order fulfilment, logistics, shipping, customer support, communications, analytics, information technology, professional advice or regulatory compliance.
We may also disclose information when required or authorised by law, to establish or defend legal rights, to prevent suspected fraud or unlawful activity or in connection with a legitimate business restructuring, acquisition or transfer where permitted by law.
We do not intend to sell personal information in a manner inconsistent with representations made in this Privacy Policy or applicable law.
Overseas Processing and Disclosure
Because ecommerce services can involve global technology, payment, fulfilment and logistics infrastructure, personal information may be processed or disclosed outside Australia.
Where the Privacy Act and APP 8 apply to a cross-border disclosure, we will take the steps required by applicable law.
APP 8 and section 16C establish requirements concerning cross-border disclosure of personal information by covered entities.
The locations used by external providers may change as their infrastructure and subcontracting arrangements change. Where practicable and legally required, additional information concerning overseas disclosures may be made available on request.
Security of Personal Information
We use reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.
These measures may include access controls, platform security measures, payment-provider safeguards, account authentication, restricted access and appropriate internal procedures.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Where APP 11 applies, covered entities must take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Data Breaches
We maintain procedures intended to identify and respond to suspected privacy and security incidents.
Where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme applies and an eligible data breach occurs, we will take the notification steps required by law.
The OAIC explains that covered entities must notify affected individuals and the OAIC when an eligible breach is likely to result in serious harm and remedial action has not prevented that risk.
Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or for legitimate operational, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution and legal-compliance purposes.
Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.
When information is no longer reasonably required and there is no lawful reason to retain it, we may delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it as appropriate.
Access and Correction
Where applicable privacy law provides the right to request access to or correction of personal information held about you, requests may be sent to:
We may take reasonable steps to verify identity before granting access or making a correction.
Where permitted by law, there may be limited circumstances in which access can be refused. If applicable law requires an explanation for refusal, one will be provided.
Accuracy
We take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances to maintain personal information that is accurate, complete and up to date.
Customers can assist by providing accurate information at checkout and notifying us if relevant contact, delivery or account information changes.
Children's Privacy
meshkiax.shop is intended for general retail use and is not designed specifically to solicit personal information from young children.
Individuals who are not legally capable of entering into a purchase transaction independently should use the website only with appropriate involvement from a parent, guardian or other person legally authorised to act for them.
If we become aware that information has been collected in circumstances requiring deletion or another corrective step, we will take appropriate action.
Third-Party Websites
The website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms or services.
Those third parties operate independently and may maintain their own privacy policies.
meshkiax.shop is not responsible for the privacy practices of an independent third-party website merely because a link to it appears on our store.
Customers should review the privacy information provided by third parties before submitting information directly to them.
Business Transactions
If the ownership or operation of meshkiax.shop is reorganised, sold, transferred, merged or otherwise changed, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by law.
Any recipient receiving information in such circumstances will be expected to handle it consistently with applicable privacy requirements.
Privacy Complaints
If you believe that your personal information has been handled improperly, please contact:
Please explain the nature of your concern and provide information reasonably necessary for us to investigate.
We will seek to review legitimate privacy complaints and respond within a reasonable period.
Where the Privacy Act applies and a complaint cannot be resolved directly, an individual may have the right to pursue the matter through the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy where our practices, technology, services or applicable legal requirements change.
The revised version will be published on meshkiax.shop with an updated revision date.
Material changes will not be used retrospectively to legitimise handling that was unlawful when it occurred.
