Privacy Policy

WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS

 

We are All Things Golden Pty Ltd (ABN 73 621 818 906) - an Australian brand designing and selling clothing and accessories from our base in Melbourne.

This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with and what your rights are. It applies whenever you visit our website, create an account, place an order, sign up to our emails or SMS, attend an event or our showroom, contact our customer care team or otherwise deal with us.

We sell to customers across Australia and a growing number of international markets, including New Zealand, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and parts of Asia and the Middle East. This policy covers all of those customers. Where your rights depend on where you live, we say so.

This policy does not cover third-party websites that we link to from our site - once you leave our platform, their own privacy terms apply.

 

HOW TO CONTACT US

 

For any privacy question, request or complaint, email is the best place to start. We will always try to respond promptly and helpfully.

 

Email: info@allthingsgolden.com.au

Post: 2 Hall Street, Hawthorn East VIC 3123, Australia

 

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS - GLOBAL-E

 

For orders shipped outside Australia, we use Global-e as our cross-border checkout provider and merchant of record. Global-e handles checkout, payment processing, fraud screening, duties and taxes, and certain compliance requirements for those orders under its own terms and privacy practices. We receive and use personal information from those transactions for our own purposes, including fulfilment, customer support, internal administration and record-keeping. Global-e’s privacy policy is available at global-e.com/consumer-privacy-policy.

 

EU AND UK REPRESENTATIVES

 

Because we offer goods to customers in the EU and the UK, we keep under review whether Article 27 of the GDPR or the UK GDPR requires us to appoint a representative. If a representative is required for the processing activities covered by this policy, we will appoint one and publish their details here.

 

DATA PROTECTION OFFICER

 

We have not appointed a statutory data protection officer at this stage. Privacy enquiries should be sent to info@allthingsgolden.com.au.

 

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

 

YOUR IDENTITY AND CONTACT DETAILS

 

When you shop with us, create an account or get in touch, we collect your name, email address, phone number, billing and delivery addresses, and your account login details and preferences. If you contact us through social media, we may also collect your handle or username.

 

ORDER AND TRANSACTION INFORMATION

 

We keep a record of what you buy, your order history, delivery details, returns, exchanges and refunds. We also hold payment confirmation information and fraud screening data. We do not store your full card number - card processing is handled by our payment processors and, for international orders, by Global-e.

 

HOW YOU USE OUR SITE

 

When you visit our website, we automatically collect technical information: your IP address, approximate location, browser type, device details, the pages you visit, how long you spend on them, where you came from and what you click on. This helps us run the site and understand how people use it.

 

MARKETING PREFERENCES AND ENGAGEMENT

 

We track how you interact with our marketing - whether you open emails, click links, engage with ads, join a waitlist or enter a competition. We use this to understand what works and to make our communications more relevant to you.

 

CUSTOMER CARE COMMUNICATIONS

 

When you contact us, we keep a record of your messages, support tickets, live chat conversations and any information you share to help us resolve an issue. We may make notes or recordings from some interactions for training and quality purposes, where permitted by law.

 

IN-STORE, SHOWROOM AND EVENTS

 

If you visit our Hawthorn East store, book a showroom appointment or attend one of our events, we may collect visitor and booking details. Our premises also have CCTV for security purposes.

 

JOB APPLICATIONS

 

If you apply to work with us, we collect the information in your application - your resume, employment and education history, referee details and any work rights information relevant to the role.

 

A NOTE ON SENSITIVE INFORMATION

 

We are a clothing retailer and we do not ask for sensitive personal information - things like health data or financial details beyond what is needed to process a payment. Please do not share sensitive information with us unless we have specifically asked for it.

 

HOW WE COLLECT IT

 

Most of the time, we collect information directly from you - when you place an order, create an account, subscribe to marketing, contact us or come to one of our events.

Some information is collected automatically while you browse our site, through cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies. More detail on those technologies, including how to manage your preferences, is set out in our Cookie Policy and cookie preference tool available on our website.

We also receive information from third parties, including our ecommerce platform, checkout and payment providers, logistics partners, advertising platforms and customer support tools. Where the law requires us to notify you about indirect collection, we will do so.

 

WHY WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

 

At a high level, we use personal information to run our business, serve our customers and meet our legal obligations. In practice, that means:

- Processing orders, handling delivery and managing returns and refunds

- Running and improving our website

- Managing your account and keeping you informed about it

- Showing prices, content and shipping options in the right currency and region for you

- Screening for fraud and protecting you and us from unauthorised activity

- Personalising what you see on site and in our marketing

- Sending service updates and, where you have signed up, marketing emails and SMS

- Running competitions, promotions and brand campaigns

- Measuring and improving our marketing

- Maintaining financial and legal records

- Handling complaints, disputes and legal matters

- Meeting our obligations under tax, customs, consumer protection and other laws

- Assessing job applicants

 

MARKETING

 

We send marketing emails and SMS messages to customers who have opted in. We may also run paid advertising on social media and other platforms, using information about your interactions with us to make ads more relevant.

We may also disclose limited customer contact and transaction information to advertising partners such as Google and Meta to build custom and lookalike audiences and to measure how our campaigns perform, subject to applicable law and your privacy choices.

To opt out at any time: use the unsubscribe link in any email or SMS, update your preferences in your account, or email us at info@allthingsgolden.com.au. Unsubscribing from marketing will not stop us sending order confirmations, shipping updates or other service messages.

 

COOKIES

 

We use cookies and similar technologies on our site to keep things working, support analytics and personalisation, and measure the performance of our advertising.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences through the cookie tool on our site or through your browser settings at any time. Turning off certain cookies may affect how the site works — particularly the cart and checkout.

Our Cookie Policy and cookie preference tool explain the categories of cookies and similar technologies we use, how long they last and how you can change your preferences.

 

WHO WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH

 

We share personal information with third parties where it is reasonably necessary to run our business. That includes:

- Fulfilment and logistics: shipping carriers, customs brokers and warehouses (for example, DHL, Australia Post and USPS).

- Checkout and payments: Global-e for international orders, along with our payment processors and fraud prevention providers.

- Platform and technology providers: Shopify, Klaviyo, Gorgias, Okendo, Orbe, Cin7 and Xero.

- Advertising and analytics: Google, Meta, TikTok, Pinterest and Crazy Egg.

- Professional advisers: lawyers, accountants, auditors and insurers.

- Regulators and authorities: tax, customs, regulatory and law enforcement bodies where required.

- Business transactions: if we are involved in a sale, merger or restructure.

- Others: where you have asked us to share, or where required by law.

Our providers change over time. The reason we share - which is always a purpose set out in this policy - does not.

 

A NOTE ON 'SELLING' DATA

 

We do not sell personal information. We do share certain online activity data with advertising partners in ways that some privacy laws may treat as “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising. You can opt out via our cookie tool or by contacting us.

 

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

 

We are based in Australia, but we may disclose personal information to overseas recipients in connection with our operations and international sales. These may include providers in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel and other countries relevant to logistics, payments, fraud screening, customs and technology services.

Where required, we use safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, and UK-approved data transfer mechanisms.

If you would like more information about these safeguards, please contact us.

 

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

 

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it. This depends on the type of information and why we hold it.

- Order and financial records: at least 7 years for tax and accounting requirements.

- Customer care records: generally up to 2 years after resolution.

- Marketing suppression records: retained as needed to honour opt-outs.

- CCTV footage: usually up to 90 days unless required for investigation.

- Recruitment records: up to 12 months unless otherwise agreed.

 

Once no longer required, we delete, anonymise or securely dispose of information.

 

SECURITY

 

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information using technical, physical and organisational safeguards such as encryption, access controls, staff training and vendor due diligence.

No system is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and take care when sharing information online.

If a breach is likely to cause harm, we will follow applicable laws and notify you and regulators where required.

 

AUTOMATED PROCESSING AND FRAUD SCREENING

 

We use automated systems for fraud detection, personalisation, localisation and advertising measurement. Some orders may be automatically flagged and reviewed or cancelled.

If you are in the UK or EEA and believe an automated decision has significantly affected you, you can request human review.

 

CHILDREN

 

Our products are for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or higher where local law applies). If this occurs, we will delete it.

FAQs

Your most frequently asked questions.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE I AM IN A.T.G?

A.T.G generally runs true to size, though sizing may vary depending on the style and fabrication. For specific fit and measurement details for each style, please check the "Details" and "Fit Notes and Size Guide" tabs on every product page. Our size guide will provide an approximate comparison to your own measurements. If you would like more help with sizing or have any other questions about an order you would like to place, please contact our experienced customer service team here.

MY SIZE IS SOLD OUT, CAN I BE NOTIFIED OF A RESTOCK?

When a product is out of stock, simply click the 'join waitlist' button on the product page and enter your email to sign up for back in stock notifications. Once the item is restocked you will be one of the first to be notified via email.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR MY A.T.G CLOTHES?

Always follow the specific care instructions found on the inside of your garment. Care instructions are also available on each product page under the "Details" tab. Following these instructions is important for maintaining the longevity of your item/s.

DO YOU HAVE ANY STOCKISTS?

A.T.G is available exclusively through our website and our A.T.G Flagship Store in Hawthorn East, Victoria (opening soon). Discover here.

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS/SALES?

If you sign up to our member database here, you will receive 10% OFF your first order + exclusive benefits. We don’t often participate in sales as we order to demand and have limited units. We believe that discounts can lead to overconsumption, so we focus on creating timeless, high-quality items that will last for years to come. Each year we participate in Afterpay Day and Black Friday sales, however our stock is limited and tends to sell out quickly, especially during sales. If you've set your sights on something special, we recommend securing it now to avoid missing out.

DO YOUR E-GIFT CARDS EXPIRE?

 All gift cards and store credit notes are valid for three (3) years from the date of issue, unless otherwise required by law. The expiry date will be displayed on the digital gift card and provided in the email.

ARE YOUR E-GIFT CARDS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE INTERNATIONALLY?

E-gift cards are currently unavailable to purchase outside of Australia.

WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?

We accept payments via all major credit card providers, PayPal, ShopPay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. We also offer buy now, pay later options including Afterpay, Zip Pay, and Klarna; if available in your location, these will appear at checkout. Payments for international orders are securely processed via Global-E, our trusted global ecommerce partner, with all prices, taxes, and duties calculated and displayed at checkout based on your location. Read more about payment options here.

WHY WON’T MY DISCOUNT CODE WORK?

Ensure the code has not expired and that you're entering it correctly, including the proper spacing. Please note that discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with promotional sales. If you are still having issues, please reach out to our customer service team here.

CAN I CHANGE MY ORDER?

Once an order has been processed through our warehouse, we’re unable to make any amendments. Please ensure you review your order carefully at checkout before confirming and processing payment.

WHAT DO I DO IF I HAVE RECEIVED A FAULTY OR INCORRECT ITEM?

Please email us here, including images of the faulty/incorrect item along with your order details and our customer team will work to resolve the issue with you.

WHAT IS GLOBAL-E AND WHY AM I CHARGED BY THEM? (INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ONLY)

DO I NEED TO PAY FOR DUTIES AND TAXES?
