Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to the IrieMint website, online store and related account or checkout features.
It covers information connected with browsing the website, viewing products, creating an account, placing an order, using cart and checkout features, submitting reviews, selecting preferences and interacting with store functionality.
Third-party websites, payment services, delivery providers and embedded services may operate under their own privacy terms. Their practices are governed by the policies they publish.
Information We Collect
The information collected depends on how the website and store are used.
Information provided directly may include a name, billing and delivery address, email address, telephone number, account details, order notes, review content and other information entered into website forms.
Order and transaction information may include products viewed or purchased, order value, discounts, delivery selection, order status, refund records and payment-status information.
Technical information may include IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, date and time information, cookie identifiers and diagnostic logs.
How Information Is Collected
Information may be collected directly, automatically or through store service providers.
Direct collection happens when information is entered during account creation, checkout, review submission or other website interactions.
Automatic collection may occur through cookies, server logs and similar technologies when pages are viewed or store features are used.
Information may also be received from providers involved in payment processing, delivery, fraud prevention, analytics, hosting, security or ecommerce functionality where those services are enabled.
How Information Is Used
Information is used only for legitimate website, store, security and legal purposes.
Uses may include:
- providing website, cart, checkout and account functionality;
- processing, fulfilling and recording orders;
- managing delivery, refunds, returns and transaction records;
- maintaining website security and reducing fraud or misuse;
- improving website usability, store performance and product presentation;
- meeting accounting, tax, regulatory and legal obligations;
- enforcing website terms and protecting legal rights.
Sharing and Service Providers
Information may be shared where needed to operate the website and complete store services.
Relevant recipients may include website hosting providers, ecommerce platforms, payment processors, delivery and logistics providers, analytics tools, security services, professional advisers and technology providers.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, a valid legal process, a regulatory obligation, the protection of users, or the prevention of fraud and security incidents.
Personal information is not treated as a product for ordinary sale. Any service provider should receive only the information reasonably needed for its assigned service.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies help essential store features work and may support preferences, analytics and performance.
Essential cookies may support cart contents, checkout, account sessions, security and load balancing.
Preference cookies may remember language, display or website choices.
Analytics cookies may help understand website use and performance where analytics services are enabled.
Marketing cookies may be used only where advertising or remarketing services are enabled and permitted.
Browser settings can block or delete many cookies, although disabling essential cookies may affect cart, login or checkout functionality.
Data Retention
Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Retention periods may vary based on order fulfilment, account activity, legal requirements, tax and accounting rules, dispute management, fraud prevention, security needs and technical backup cycles.
When information is no longer required, reasonable steps may be taken to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it, subject to lawful retention obligations and backup limitations.
Data Security
Reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards are used to protect information.
Measures may include access controls, secure hosting, encrypted connections, account protections, software updates, logging, backups and restricted administrative access.
No website, network or storage system can guarantee absolute security. Users should protect account credentials, use strong unique passwords and avoid sharing login details.
Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights regarding their personal information.
These rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent and review of certain automated decisions where such rights apply.
Some information may need to be retained where required for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, security or dispute purposes.
Account tools and browser settings may also allow certain profile details, cookies and preferences to be managed directly.
Children’s Privacy
The online store is intended for purchases made by adults or by individuals with appropriate adult involvement.
The website is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from young children without appropriate authorisation. Where age-specific consent rules apply, the relevant requirements should be followed before personal information is submitted.
International Processing
Website and store providers may process information in more than one country.
Hosting, ecommerce, analytics, security, payment or delivery providers may operate infrastructure outside the visitor’s country. Where international processing occurs, reasonable safeguards should be used as required by applicable law.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated when website features, services, legal requirements or business practices change.
The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Material changes may also be highlighted through an appropriate website notice where necessary.
Continued use of the website after an update means the latest published version applies to future activity, subject to applicable law.
