2. The personal information we collect

Depending on how you use our website (racing pigeon sales and our online shop for loft equipment and related products), we may collect:

  • Technical and device data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and cookies or similar technologies used to operate and secure the website
  • Information you give us when you make an enquiry, buy a pigeon, or create an account or place an order in our online shop (for example your name, email, phone number, delivery address and message content)
  • Order, delivery and payment-related details if you purchase goods or services through the website (payment card data is typically processed by a payment provider, not stored by us)
  • Website usage analytics (for example Google Analytics or similar tools) that help us understand how the site is used

We generally collect information directly from you. If you provide personal information about someone else, you must have their authority to do so.

3. How we use personal information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries and support requests;
  • sell and deliver racing pigeons, loft equipment and related products;
  • operate, secure and improve this website;
  • send messages about your orders and enquiries, and any marketing only where permitted by law (you can opt out of marketing at any time);
  • meet our legal obligations; and
  • manage our business relationship with you.

4. Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose personal information to:

  • service providers who help us run the website and business (for example website hosting and platform providers, email and IT providers, analytics providers, payment processors, and professional advisers);
  • regulators, courts or others where required or authorised by law; and
  • anyone else you consent to, or where the APP exceptions apply.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Overseas disclosure

Our website is hosted on a cloud platform. Personal information submitted through the site (and related backups, logs or analytics) may be stored or processed on servers located outside Australia, including in the United States or other countries where our providers operate. Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled in a way that is consistent with the APPs.

6. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

7. Access, correction and retention

You may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details above. We will respond in accordance with the Privacy Act. We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes set out in this statement, or as required by law, and then take steps to destroy or de-identify it.

8. Use of artificial intelligence (AI)

We (and our website service providers) may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help prepare, edit or improve website content, to assist with customer enquiries, or to support internal administration. Where AI tools are used, they are used to help us deliver services; they do not replace our responsibility for how personal information is handled.

We do not use your personal information to train public AI models. If an AI tool processes personal information on our behalf, we take steps to ensure that processing is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles and this policy.

9. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to run the website, remember preferences, and (where used) measure traffic and performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.
