We, our service providers (including our ecommerce platform, search and merchandising, wishlist, and email and SMS marketing providers) and our advertising partners (such as Meta and TikTok) use cookies, pixels and similar technologies on the Website to operate it, analyse how it is used, personalise content and product recommendations (including based on your approximate location), and deliver and measure advertising.
If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your browser to disable them or to warn you when cookies are used. We recommend that you leave cookies enabled, as they allow our systems to recognise your browser and provide quicker and easier use of our Website.
Why we collect it
We collect personal information for a number of reasons, including to:
- deliver, administer and improve the products and services we offer you, and carry out administration, marketing, planning, procurement, and product and service development;
- complete other transactions with you or on your behalf, including creating orders, transaction records, tax invoices or receipts;

These third parties only receive limited access to your personal information to complete their tasks.
We may otherwise use or disclose your personal information with your consent (or if we have notified you of the intended use or disclosure and you have not objected), or where required or authorised by law, which may include emergency situations and assisting law enforcement agencies. Third parties to whom we disclose personal information may be located overseas, including in the United Kingdom (including the Licensor of the Ellesse brand), the United States of America, New Zealand, Hong Kong SAR and the Philippines. Unless an exception applies under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (in particular, Australian Privacy Principle 8), before disclosing personal information to overseas recipients, we will take reasonable steps in the circumstances to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to that information.
Where we disclose your personal information to the Licensor (Pentland Brands Limited, located in the United Kingdom) as required by our licence (see above), we will take reasonable steps, including through our contract with the Licensor, to ensure that the Licensor does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to that information.
Text messaging service
The mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by Brand Collective Pty Ltd ("we" or "us") with the assistance of our LK Group shared services providers, and is provided in accordance with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions ("Mobile Terms"). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of them.
By consenting to the SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from us and on our behalf through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided. Your consent to receive commercial electronic messages is given for the purposes of the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). Service-related messages may include updates, alerts and information (e.g. order updates and account alerts). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials and other marketing offers (e.g. cart reminders).
You do not have to sign up for this program to make any purchase, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.
We do not charge for the Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details.
You may opt out of the Service at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any text message. Once you have unsubscribed, you will be taken to a confirmation page confirming that you have opted out, and no further messages will be sent to your mobile device unless initiated by you. If you have subscribed to our other brands’ mobile message programs and wish to cancel them, except where applicable law requires otherwise, you will need to opt out of those programs separately by following the instructions in their respective messages.
You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number. If you get a new mobile number, you will need to sign up for the program again with your new number.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will not be liable for failed, delayed or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the Service, any errors in that information, or any action you may or may not take in reliance on the information or the Service.

Automated decision-making
We use computer programs and automated systems, including algorithmic, rules-based, statistical, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) tools (together, automated systems), in operating the Website and our online business. In some cases, these automated systems make decisions, or do things that are substantially and directly related to making decisions, that could reasonably be expected to significantly affect your rights or interests, and use your personal information in doing so. This section explains the kinds of personal information used in the operation of those automated systems and the kinds of decisions involved.
Some of these decisions are made solely by the operation of an automated system, without human involvement. In other cases, automated systems assist our personnel by generating scores, rankings, assessments, categorisations, recommendations or other outputs that our personnel take into account, and that are substantially and directly related to the decisions our personnel make. We describe the kinds of decisions in each category below.
Kinds of personal information used
The kinds of personal information that may be used in the operation of our automated systems include:
- identity and contact information, such as your name, date of birth, address, telephone number and email address;
- financial and transactional information, such as payment details, purchase and order history, refunds and returns, and billing records;
- information about your interactions with us, such as your enquiries, complaints, feedback, online account activity and communications with our customer service channels (including any chatbots or other automated assistants); and
- technical and usage information, such as device identifiers, IP address, approximate location (derived from your IP address), website usage data, and information collected through cookies, pixels and similar technologies.
Kinds of decisions
We may use your personal information in the operation of automated systems to make decisions without human involvement, including to:
- assess your eligibility for promotions, discounts and offers (for example, our new customer sign-up discount), and determine the payment options made available to you;
- determine the offers, discounts or benefits made available to you, which may differ between individuals; and
- personalise and direct marketing, advertising and other communications to you, including based on your address, approximate location, purchase history, preferences and interactions with us.
We may also use your personal information in the operation of automated systems that assist our personnel in making decisions, including to:
- process, assess, approve or decline orders, refunds, exchanges and complaints (including through any chatbots or other automated customer service tools);
- detect, investigate and prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents and other unlawful activity, including by flagging orders and transactions for review by our personnel, who may decline, hold or restrict orders, transactions or access to your online account;
- verify your identity and manage access to your online account; and
- comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including screening, reporting and record-keeping obligations.
If you have questions about our use of automated systems, or would like further information about how your personal information is used in connection with a particular decision, please contact our Privacy Officer using the details in "Further information" below.

We will not knowingly collect information from any unsupervised person under the age of 18. If you are under 18, you must not submit any personal information to us unless you have the consent of, and are being supervised by, a parent or legal guardian.
