Privacy Policy
Our commitment to your privacy
Antipodes Gin Co ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your personal
information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy
Principles (APPs). This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it,
and how we use and protect it.
What information we collect
Age verification
Because we sell alcohol, we ask visitors to confirm they are of legal drinking age
(18+) before accessing parts of our website. We collect your date of birth or a simple
age confirmation for this purpose. We do not retain this information beyond your
session.
Orders and purchases
When you place an order, we collect:
- Your name and delivery address
- Contact details (email address and phone number)
- Payment information (processed securely via our payment provider — we do not
store card numbers)
Newsletter and marketing
If you sign up to hear from us, we collect your name and email address to send you
updates, offers, and news about Antipodes Gin Co. You can unsubscribe at any time
using the link in any email we send.
Website usage
Like most websites, we may automatically collect standard technical information
such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, via cookies and analytics
tools. This helps us understand how our site is used and improve your experience.
How we use your information
We use your personal information to:
- Verify that you are of legal drinking age
- Process and fulfil your orders
- Communicate with you about your order
- Send you marketing communications (only where you have opted in)
- Improve our website and services
We will not use your information for any purpose that is unrelated to the above
without first obtaining your consent.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted third parties
who assist us in operating our business, including:
- Payment processors (to handle transactions securely)
- Delivery and logistics providers (to fulfil your orders)
- Email marketing platforms (to manage our newsletter)
- Analytics providers (to understand website traffic)
These parties are required to handle your data securely and only for the specific
purpose we engage them for. We may also disclose your information if required to do
so by law.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss,
and unauthorised access. Our website uses secure (HTTPS) connections and our
payment processing is handled by PCI-compliant providers.
How long we keep your information
We retain order and customer information for as long as reasonably necessary to
fulfil the purpose it was collected for, or as required by law (such as for tax and
accounting purposes). Marketing preferences are retained until you unsubscribe or
ask us to remove you.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request a correction if the information is inaccurate or out of date
- Opt out of direct marketing at any time
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the details below.
