Privacy policy

Who we are

This Year is operated by Mike and Melissa Graham, trading as The Garage People, ABN 53 687 702 403, based in Western Australia. Contact us at hello@thisisouryear.com.au.

What we collect

  • When you order: your name, email address, delivery address, phone number if you give one, and details of what you bought.
  • When you join our email list: your email address, and your name if you give it.
  • When you visit: standard technical information such as browser type and pages viewed, collected by our hosting provider.

What we never see

We do not collect or store your card details. Payments are processed by Shopify Payments and your card information goes directly to them. We never have access to it.

Why we collect it

To fulfil your order, send you order and delivery updates, respond when you contact us, and meet our record-keeping obligations. We use it for nothing else.

Marketing

We'll only send you marketing email if you've asked for it. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link and unsubscribing takes effect immediately. Order and delivery emails are transactional — you'll receive those for any order you place, because you need them.

Who we share it with

Only the services required to get your calendar to you:

  • Shopify — our store and order platform
  • Shopify Payments — payment processing
  • Australia Post — delivery, which requires your name and address
  • Microsoft — our email provider

We do not sell your information to anyone, ever, and we don't share it for anyone else's marketing.

How long we keep it

Order records are kept as long as we're required to for tax and consumer law purposes. Email list details are kept until you unsubscribe.

Access and correction

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email hello@thisisouryear.com.au and we'll respond within a reasonable time. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au, or the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
