Privacy

This site is run by Ben McCarthy, through Earth and Wonder Pty Ltd (ABN 56 614 076 407), Sydney. I collect as little as I can, use it only for what you’d expect, and never sell it.

What I collect, and why

• Your email address, if you join my email list or reserve something, and the page you signed up from. I use it to send you what you signed up for. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• Order details,if you buy something: your name, email and phone, and the name and address it’s going to. I use them to make, post and support your order, and keep them in my records for as long as tax law requires (usually five years).
• Card details go straight to Stripe, which processes payments. I never see or store your full card number.
• Page views: a count of which pages are visited and where visitors came from. No cookies, no tracking across other sites, and nothing that identifies you.

Who it’s shared with

Only the services that do the work, and only what each one needs:

• Stripe takes payments.
• Gelato prints and posts orders, so it gets the delivery name, address, email and phone.
• Resend sends my emails.
• Supabase stores the email list and orders.
• Vercel hosts the site.

Some of these store data outside Australia, including in the United States and Europe. I don’t share your details with anyone else unless the law requires it.

Links to shops

Some pages link to other shops, sometimes as an affiliate. If you click through, that shop may set its own cookies, and its privacy policy applies.

Seeing, changing or deleting your details

Email ben@benmccarthy.com.au and I’ll tell you what I hold about you, fix it, or delete it (except order records I have to keep). If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your details, you can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

Shipping, refunds and returns: orders and returns.
