Payments are processed through Stripe. We do not ordinarily receive or store your complete credit or debit card numbers.

Technical information

Our website and service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and website usage information.

Stripe may process payment information and conduct fraud-prevention checks in accordance with its own privacy practices.

You can review Stripe's privacy information at www.stripe.com/privacy.

5. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to support essential functions, including website security, member login and account access.

We may also use analytics and other non-essential cookies to understand website traffic and improve our services.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and any cookie preference controls provided on our website. Some essential website functions may not work correctly when cookies are disabled.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will be subject to appropriate consent choices.

6. Sharing of Information

We do not sell customer contact lists or personal information to advertisers.

We may share relevant information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate the website and deliver our services.

These may include:

• Wix, for website hosting, memberships and content access.

• Stripe, for payment processing and fraud prevention.

• Email marketing providers, for newsletters and subscriber communications.

• Website analytics and security providers.

• Professional advisers or authorities where disclosure is required by law.

Our service providers may process or store information outside Australia, including in the United States and other countries in which they operate. Applicable privacy protections may differ between jurisdictions.

7. Email Communications

If you subscribe to Langbourne Comic updates, we may send you announcements about new episodes, forthcoming releases and related book or comic news.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those messages.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent us from sending essential account, purchase or customer-service messages.

8. Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse and disclosure.

Our website and payment service providers use their own security measures to help protect information processed through their platforms.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain customer access, meet legal and financial recordkeeping requirements, and resolve disputes.

When information is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete or de-identify it, subject to applicable obligations.
