Privacy Policy

Last updated: [1-08-2026]

Zippy Tie Man ("we", "us", "our") operates the website zippytieman.com.au (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in line with this policy.

1. Personal information we collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your web browser type, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. As you browse the Site, we also collect information about the individual pages or products you view, the website or search terms that referred you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this as "Device Information".

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

• Cookies —data files placed on your device, often including an anonymous unique identifier. For more information, visit  - allaboutcookies.org.
• Log files —track actions on the Site and collect data including your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
• Web beacons, tags, and pixels —electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

When you make or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we also collect your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number. We refer to this as "Order Information".

When we refer to "Personal Information" in this policy, we mean both Device Information and Order Information.

2. How we use your personal information

We use Order Information to fulfil orders placed through the Site, including processing payment, arranging shipping, and providing invoices and order confirmations. We also use Order Information to:

• communicate with you;
• screen orders for potential risk or fraud; and
• where in line with the preferences you've shared with us, provide information or advertising about our products or services.

We use Device Information to help screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimise the Site — for example, by generating analytics about how customers browse and interact with the Site, and by assessing the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns.

3. Sharing your personal information

We share your Personal Information with select third parties to help us operate the Site and our business, as described above. For example:

• We use Shopify to power our online store — read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information at - shopify.com/legal/privacy.
• We use Google Analytics to help us understand how customers use the Site — read more at -  policies.google.com/privacy, or opt out at -  tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may also disclose your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for information, or to otherwise protect our rights.

4. Behavioural advertising

We use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, visit the Network Advertising Initiative's educational page at -  networkadvertising.org.

You can opt out of targeted advertising through:

• Bing:- advertise.bingads.microsoft.com

You can also opt out of many of these services at once via the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out portal:- optout.aboutads.info.

5. Do Not Track

Please note that we do not alter the Site's data collection and use practices when we detect a "Do Not Track" signal from your browser.

6. Your rights

Zippy Tie Man is based in Australia and handles personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, and to ask that it be corrected or updated. If you would like to exercise these rights, or make a complaint about how we've handled your information, please contact us using the details below — we'll aim to respond within a reasonable time.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you also have rights under the GDPR to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information. Please note that if you contact us to exercise this right, we may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. Where we act on this basis, we process your information to fulfil any contract we have with you (for example, if you place an order through the Site) or to pursue our legitimate business interests as listed above. Your information may be transferred outside of Europe, including to Australia.

7. Data retention

When you place an order through the Site, we will retain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete it.
