Privacy Policy

Your data, handled honestly.

Same principle as our balm, three ingredients, nothing hidden. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and how we protect it.

Last updated: 16 August 2026

1. Who we are

This site is operated by Aus Tallow Pty Ltd (ABN 32 697 036 543), an Australian company. In this policy, "we", "us" and "AusTallow" refer to Aus Tallow Pty Ltd.

This policy explains how we handle your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

2. What we collect

We collect the minimum information needed to sell you a jar of tallow balm and stay in touch. Specifically:

Information you give us

  • Name, email address, delivery address, phone number (when you place an order)
  • Email address (when you sign up to our newsletter or claim the founding-member discount)
  • Payment details, handled by our payment processors, never seen or stored by us directly
  • Any correspondence with our support team

Information collected automatically

  • Standard web analytics, pages viewed, time on page, referrer, approximate location (city/country), browser and device type
  • Cart, checkout and purchase events (which product bundles you viewed or added to cart)
  • IP address (for security and fraud prevention)

3. How we use it

Your information is used to:

  • Process, fulfil and ship your order
  • Send you order confirmations, tracking information and delivery updates
  • Send delivery updates and order status notifications
  • Reply to your support enquiries
  • Send marketing emails you've opted in to receive
  • Measure how our website performs and improve it over time
  • Prevent fraud and comply with our legal obligations

4. Third parties we use

We use a small handful of trusted services to run the shop. Each one has its own privacy policy, and you can view how they handle data via the links below.

Shopify (e-commerce platform)

Our shop is powered by Shopify. Your order, payment details, customer account and shipping information are stored on Shopify servers. Shopify may store data outside Australia (typically the United States and Canada). See Shopify's privacy policy.

Mailchimp (email marketing)

Our newsletter and founding-member emails are sent via Mailchimp. If you subscribe to our email list, your email address (and first name, if you gave it) is stored with Mailchimp. See Mailchimp's privacy policy. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in the footer of any email we send you.

Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics (GA4)

We use Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics 4, which measures site traffic and conversion funnels using anonymised, aggregated data. See Google's privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using Google's browser opt-out.

Meta Pixel (Facebook & Instagram advertising)

We use the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of any advertising we run on Facebook and Instagram, and to build custom audiences for retargeting. See Meta's privacy policy and manage your ad preferences via your Facebook or Instagram account settings.

Microsoft Clarity (session recording & heatmaps)

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our website. Clarity records a playback of your visit, which pages you viewed, where you scrolled, where you moved your mouse or tapped, and which buttons you clicked, and combines this into aggregated heatmaps. Clarity automatically masks the contents of text fields, so anything you type into a form (your email address, your name, your delivery address) is not captured in the recording. We use this only to find and fix problems with the site, never to identify you personally. Microsoft may store this data outside Australia. See Microsoft's privacy statement. You can opt out using Clarity's opt-out information, or by enabling Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track in your browser.

TikTok Pixel

We do not currently run the TikTok Pixel on this site. If we begin advertising on TikTok, the TikTok Pixel would measure conversion events. See TikTok's privacy policy.

Payment processors

Payments are processed via Shopify Payments, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and/or Afterpay. Your card details are handled directly by the payment provider, we never see or store the numbers.

Shipping carriers

Your name, delivery address and phone number are shared with our shipping partners (Australia Post and courier partners) so they can deliver your order.

5. Cookies & tracking

Our site uses cookies, small text files stored in your browser, for three main purposes:

  • Essential cookies that make the site work (shopping cart, session tokens)
  • Analytics cookies that help us understand how people use the site (Google Analytics)
  • Advertising cookies that let us measure and refine our ad campaigns (Meta Pixel)

You can control cookies via your browser settings. Most browsers accept them by default but let you block, delete or receive a warning before they're set. Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the checkout flow.

6. Marketing emails

We only send you marketing emails if you've asked us to, either by ticking a box during checkout, subscribing to the newsletter, or claiming the founding-member discount. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click once and you're off the list, immediately.

Transactional emails (order confirmations, shipping notifications, tracking updates) are not marketing. They're a necessary part of your order, so they can't be unsubscribed from.

7. Storage & security

Your data is stored on secure servers operated by Shopify, Mailchimp, Google and our other providers. All data is transmitted over HTTPS (encrypted). We use industry-standard security practices to protect your information.

Some of these providers may store your data outside Australia (typically the United States, European Union or Canada). By using our site, you consent to your information being processed in those jurisdictions.

We hold on to order and customer data for as long as it's needed to serve you and to meet our legal obligations under Australian tax and consumer law. If you'd like your data deleted, see section 8.

8. Your rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have the right to:

  • Ask what personal information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct or update inaccurate information
  • Ask us to delete your information (subject to any legal requirements to retain records)
  • Withdraw consent for marketing emails at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you believe we've mishandled your information

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] and we'll respond within a reasonable time (typically within 7 days).

9. Children

Our products are suitable for the whole family, but this website and our marketing communications are not directed at children under 16. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe we've inadvertently collected such information, contact us and we'll delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we introduce new third-party services or the law changes. Substantial changes will be communicated via a notice on this page or by email. The "last updated" date at the top of this page tells you when it was last revised.

11. Contact us

Any privacy questions, corrections, deletion requests or complaints, email [email protected].

Postal address is available on request.
