This Privacy Policy describes how VEX MMA collects, uses, stores, and shares your personal information when you visit our website, interact with us, subscribe to our marketing, or make a purchase from us.

VEX MMA is based in Perth, Western Australia. By using our website, you acknowledge that your personal information will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and how you interact with our site. This may include your web browser, IP address, time zone, device type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, products viewed, search terms, and information about how you browse and interact with our website.

We refer to this automatically collected information as Device Information.

We collect Device Information using technologies such as:

Cookies: Small data files placed on your device or computer, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies help us improve your browsing experience, remember your preferences, understand website traffic, support checkout functionality, and assist with marketing and advertising activities.

Log files: These track actions occurring on the website and may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, and date and time stamps.

Web beacons, tags, and pixels: These are electronic files used to record information about how you browse and interact with our website, emails, SMS campaigns, advertisements, and marketing campaigns.

When you make a purchase, attempt to make a purchase, create an account, contact us, subscribe to our marketing, or otherwise interact with our website, we may collect certain information from you. This may include your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, order details, payment status, marketing preferences, and any other information required to process and fulfil your order or respond to your enquiry.

We refer to this information as Order Information.

Payment information is processed securely by our payment providers. We do not directly store your full credit card details.

When we refer to Personal Information in this Privacy Policy, we mean both Device Information and Order Information.

Email and SMS Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, opt in through one of our website forms, enter your details at checkout, or otherwise provide consent to receive marketing communications, we may use your email address, phone number, order history, browsing activity, and marketing preferences to send you updates, offers, product launches, promotions, abandoned cart reminders, back-in-stock alerts, and other marketing content.

We may use Klaviyo or similar marketing platforms to manage our email and SMS marketing communications.

SMS Marketing

If you provide your mobile phone number and expressly opt in to receive SMS marketing from VEX MMA, we may send you text messages about offers, product launches, promotions, abandoned carts, back-in-stock alerts, order-related updates, and other relevant marketing communications.

You are not required to opt in to SMS marketing to make a purchase from us.

When you opt in to SMS marketing, we may collect and store information such as your mobile number, consent status, date and time of consent, sign-up source, message history, unsubscribe status, and interactions with our SMS messages.

We may use Klaviyo or similar SMS marketing providers to send and manage SMS communications. These providers may process your information on our behalf to deliver messages, manage consent records, track engagement, and process unsubscribe requests.

Message frequency may vary. Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile provider.

You can unsubscribe from SMS marketing at any time by replying STOP to one of our SMS messages, using any unsubscribe instructions provided in the message, or contacting us at support@vexmma.com.

If we use a branded SMS sender ID, such as “VEX MMA” or similar, we will work with our SMS provider to manage any sender ID registration requirements that apply in Australia.

Even if you unsubscribe from SMS marketing, we may still send you important transactional or service-related messages where permitted, such as order confirmations, shipping updates, return updates, or customer support communications.

Marketing Consent

We aim to only send commercial electronic messages, including email and SMS marketing, where we have your consent or where otherwise permitted by law.

Where required, we keep records of marketing consent, including when and how consent was provided.

You can withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time.

To unsubscribe from email marketing, click the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing email you receive from us.

To unsubscribe from SMS marketing, reply STOP to one of our SMS messages or follow the unsubscribe instructions included in the message.
