Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Magnetka ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our online store, upload photos, place an order, or interact with us. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
The data controller of your personal information is Magnetka, located at PO Box 1192, Bibra Lake, WA 6965, Australia. Contact: contact@magnetka.com.au.
Customer-Uploaded Photos & Personalization Text
Our photo magnets are custom-made using the images and text that you upload at checkout. We treat your uploaded memories as sensitive personal data:
- We use your uploaded photos and text strictly to print, craft, and deliver your order.
- We will never use your personal photos for marketing, social media, or website examples without your explicit, separate consent (such as checking a dedicated permission box).
- Uploaded images are securely processed through our e-commerce platform Shopify and our personalization tool NINEMAGS strictly for the purpose of fulfilling your order.
- Photos are retained only for as long as necessary to complete your order, handle any remake or warranty inquiries, and comply with legal record-keeping obligations. Once this period expires, files are securely deleted from our active production systems.
