- maintain accurate business records
- send you relevant product and promotional information where you have consented to receive it
We retain business records, including personal information that forms part of those records, for a minimum of seven years from the date of the relevant transaction. This is to support any legal or tax-related obligations that may arise.

This information is used to manage your account, process your orders through our seven-stage order process, and provide you with real-time visibility of your order status. We retain this information for as long as your account is active and for a minimum of seven years after your last transaction with us.
1.3 Artwork and Brand Assets
When you upload artwork, logos, brand assets, or design files to us for the purpose of producing custom goods, we retain copies of those files to fulfil your order and to facilitate future reprints or related orders. We use your artwork solely for the purposes described in our Terms and Conditions and do not share it with any third party other than the supplier or manufacturer producing your goods.
You retain full ownership of all intellectual property in your artwork. Our handling of your artwork is governed by Section 14 of our Terms and Conditions, available at promotionalstudio.com.au/terms.
1.4 Website Usage Information
We collect information about how you use our website, including the pages you visit, how you arrived at our website, how long you spend on each page, and how our website performs for you. This information is collected through cookies and analytics tools and is used to improve our website and your experience. It is collected in aggregate form and is not linked to your personal identity.
1.5 Payment Information
We do not collect or store your credit card or bank account details directly.
Credit card payments are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment service provider. At the point of payment, you interact with Stripe's secure environment. Our staff do not have access to your card details.
Bank transfers are processed through our Commonwealth Bank of Australia account. Where you make a bank transfer, we receive and retain records of the transaction in our accounting system for financial and tax record purposes.
Where you arrange a direct debit, payment details are passed to our bank for processing and are not stored by us separately.

When you contact us by email, phone, or through our contact form or Order Portal, we collect and retain a record of that communication, including your name, contact details, and the content of your message. We use this information to respond to and resolve your enquiry and to improve the quality of our service.

If you send us a job application or expression of interest, we may retain that information for up to three years in case a suitable opportunity arises. If we employ you, we collect and retain information about you and your work throughout your employment and for six years following the end of your employment.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share your information only in the following circumstances:
2.1 Suppliers and Carriers
To fulfil your order, we share relevant personal information, including your delivery address and order details, with our suppliers, manufacturers, and delivery carriers. This sharing is necessary to produce and deliver your goods.

Payment information is shared with Stripe (for credit card payments) and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (for direct debit and bank transfer processing) solely for the purpose of completing your transaction.

We may disclose personal information to government authorities, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory bodies where we are required to do so by law, court order, or other lawful authority.
