What information we collect
We collect the following personal information:
- Purchase information — your name, email address, and billing address when you buy a product. Payment card details are handled entirely by Shopify Payments and are never seen or stored by us.
- Email address — if you sign up for updates or enter your email on our website.
- Usage data — pages you visit, how long you spend on the site, and which links you click. This is collected through analytics tools including the Meta Pixel.
- Device information — browser type, operating system, and IP address, collected automatically when you visit the site.
How we use your information
We use your personal information to:
- Process your purchase and deliver your digital product
- Send you a receipt and order confirmation
- Respond to your questions or support requests
- Send you updates or research newsletters, if you have opted in
- Improve our website and understand how visitors use it
- Run targeted advertising on platforms including Facebook and Instagram
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for any purpose other than those listed above.
Meta Pixel and advertising
We use the Meta Pixel on our website. This tool allows Meta (Facebook/Instagram) to match your visit to our site with your Facebook profile in order to show you relevant advertising. The data shared with Meta is pseudonymised — it is used for audience matching, not to directly identify you to us.
You can opt out of personalised advertising from Meta through your Facebook Ad Preferences settings, or through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool at optout.aboutads.info.
Shopify
Our store is built on Shopify. When you make a purchase, Shopify processes your payment and stores your order information according to their own Privacy Policy, available at shopify.com/legal/privacy.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Analytics — to understand how visitors use our site (Meta Pixel)
- Functionality — to make our site work correctly (Shopify checkout cookies)
- Advertising — to show relevant ads on other platforms
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of our site.
How long we keep your information
We retain your purchase information for as long as required by Australian tax law (generally seven years). Email addresses on our marketing list are retained until you unsubscribe. You may request deletion of your data at any time.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Opt out of direct marketing at any time
- Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au
If you are in the UK or EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you additional rights, including the right to data portability and the right to object to processing. Our legal basis for processing your data is performance of a contract (when you make a purchase) and legitimate interests (for analytics and advertising). To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@stasisresearch.com.au.
Children's privacy
Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. Our products are designed for parents, not for use by children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access. Our website uses HTTPS encryption. Payment processing is handled by Shopify, which is PCI-DSS compliant.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
