What personal information Motorcycle Audio Australia collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what you can do about it. We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Questions about your information? Contact our Privacy Officer at support@motorcycleaudio.com.au or call 07 3350 1354. We don’t sell your personal information, and we never have.
What we collect, and why
We don’t hold more information than we need to run the business.
WhatInformation we collect
- Contact and order details — your name, billing and delivery address, phone number and email.
- Your bike — model and year, and sometimes what’s already fitted, so we can confirm fitment.
- Payment information — handled by PCI-compliant providers such as Shopify Payments, Afterpay and Zip. We never see or store your full card number.
- Account information — username, password, preferences and order history.
- Device and usage information — IP address, browser, time zone, cookies, pages viewed and items added to cart.
- Messages — emails, chat messages, reviews and anything else you send us.
- Photographs of your motorcycle — where we’ve worked on your bike.
- CCTV footage — if you visit our Kedron workshop.
WhyWhat we use it for
- To process, pack and deliver your order
- To confirm fitment and give you accurate advice about your bike
- To handle warranty claims, returns and support enquiries
- To verify payments and reduce fraud
- To improve the site and the products we stock
- To send you marketing, but only if you’ve opted in — and you can opt out any time
- To meet our tax and legal obligations
Decisions made without a person
A small number of things happen automatically. These are all of them.
Fraud screeningFlagged orders
Shopify assigns a risk indicator to orders based on things like address mismatches and payment patterns. We use it as a prompt to look more closely — a person at MAA reviews any flagged order before we hold or cancel it.
Buy now, pay laterAfterpay and Zip
If you choose Afterpay or Zip, they run their own automated assessment to approve or decline you. That decision is theirs, not ours, and it’s governed by their privacy policy. We pass them the order details needed to process the payment.
What we don’t doNo profiling, no AI decisions
We don’t use profiling or automated systems to set prices, and we don’t make decisions about you using artificial intelligence.
Photos of your bike, and CCTV
Two places where we hold images, and the rules on each.
Build photosPhotos of your bike
We often photograph builds and installs — it’s how we show riders what’s possible, and it’s the most useful content we produce.
- We ask your permission before we photograph your bike for publication, and again if we want to use it somewhere prominent.
- We avoid capturing number plates, VINs and anything showing where you live. If one slips through, tell us and we’ll blur or remove it.
- We don’t publish your name unless you’ve said we can.
WorkshopCCTV at Kedron
Our Kedron workshop is monitored by CCTV. It’s there to protect customer motorcycles, our stock and our staff.
- Footage is recorded continuously and automatically overwritten after 30 days.
- We only review footage if there’s a security or safety incident, or if we’re asked to by police.
- We don’t use it for marketing and we don’t publish it.
How long we keep it, and how we protect it
What we hold, for how long, and what happens if something goes wrong.
RetentionHow long we keep it
- Support correspondence — around 24 months, so we can pick up where we left off
- Marketing data — until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it
SecurityKeeping it secure
We use encryption, access controls and monitoring, and we limit who inside MAA can see what.
No online system is completely secure, but we take it seriously and we don’t hold more information than we need.
BreachesIf something goes wrong
If there’s a data breach that’s likely to cause you serious harm, we’ll notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, as the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme requires.
We’ll tell you what happened, what information was involved, and what we recommend you do.
Your choices and your rights
Four things you can ask us for, and how quickly we respond.
Access & correctionSeeing what we hold
Access — you can ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you. Email our Privacy Officer and we’ll respond within 30 days. There’s no charge.
Correction — if something’s wrong, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Deletion & marketingGetting it removed
Deletion — you can ask us to delete your information. We’ll do it unless we’re legally required to keep it, such as order records we must retain for tax purposes. We’ll tell you which is which.
Marketing — every marketing email has an unsubscribe link, and it works immediately. You can also just reply and ask.
ChildrenUnder 18
Our products and services are aimed at adults. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us their information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Outside AustraliaIf you’re overseas
We’re an Australian business and we sell mainly in Australia and New Zealand. We handle all personal information to Australian Privacy Principles standards regardless of where you are.
If you’re in a country with additional privacy rights and you’d like your information handled a particular way, contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.
