Last updated: 29 August 2026
Sportsbike operates this website and online store and provides the related products, content, features and services available through it (the Services).
Our online store is powered by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform we use to offer products and services to you.
This Privacy Policy explains how Sportsbike collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information when you visit our website, create an account, place an order, contact us, subscribe to marketing communications or otherwise interact with the Services.
We handle personal information in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) where they apply to us.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

Depending on how you interact with Sportsbike, we may collect the following types of personal information:
- Contact information, including your name, email address, telephone number, billing address and delivery address.
- Order and transaction information, including products purchased, viewed, returned, exchanged or cancelled, order history, delivery information and transaction details.
- Payment information, including information required to process payment for an order. Payment information may be collected and processed by Shopify and our payment providers. Sportsbike does not necessarily receive or store your complete payment-card details.

- from shipping, payment and logistics providers involved in completing your order;
- from business partners or other third parties where permitted by law; and

Where practicable, you may interact with us without identifying yourself. However, we generally require identifying and contact information to process an order, arrange delivery, manage a return or warranty claim, provide account services or respond to certain enquiries.

Sportsbike does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
Shopify
Our store is hosted by Shopify.
Shopify collects and processes information relating to your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve Shopify's ecommerce services.
Information submitted through our store may therefore be transmitted to and processed by Shopify and its service providers, including in countries outside Australia.
Shopify also provides certain enhanced ecommerce, analytics, fraud-prevention and personalisation features.
Shopify maintains its own Consumer Privacy Policy explaining how it processes personal information when consumers interact with Shopify merchants.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Sportsbike, Shopify and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage and similar technologies.
These technologies may be used to:
- operate essential website functions;
- maintain shopping carts and customer sessions;
- remember preferences;
- provide secure checkout functionality;
- understand website traffic and usage;
- measure website and marketing performance;
- prevent fraud;
- improve the Services; and
- provide or measure advertising where permitted.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Others may be optional depending on applicable law and your privacy choices.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through privacy or cookie controls provided on our website. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.
Marketing Communications
If you subscribe to Sportsbike marketing communications, we may send you information about products, offers, new releases and other Sportsbike news.
You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a marketing email.
We will continue to send transactional messages where necessary, such as order confirmations, dispatch notifications or messages about an existing order.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to websites operated by manufacturers, suppliers, social-media platforms and other third parties.
Sportsbike does not control the privacy practices of those third-party websites.
When you leave our website, we recommend reviewing the privacy policy of the relevant third party before providing personal information.
Overseas Disclosure and Processing
Some of Sportsbike's service providers, technology providers, suppliers and business partners operate outside Australia.
As a result, personal information may be disclosed to, stored in or processed in countries outside Australia.
This includes information processed through Shopify and other international technology infrastructure.
The countries involved may vary depending on the service provider, supplier, customer destination and services being used.
Where Australian privacy law applies to an overseas disclosure, we will take reasonable steps required by applicable law in relation to that disclosure.
The OAIC requires an APP privacy policy to disclose whether personal information is likely to be disclosed overseas and, where practicable, identify the relevant countries.
Security
Sportsbike takes reasonable steps to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
We use a combination of administrative, technical and physical safeguards, together with security measures provided by Shopify and our service providers.
However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
You should avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through insecure communication channels.
Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to:
- provide products and Services;
- manage customer accounts and orders;
- maintain business and transaction records;
- manage returns and warranty claims;
- comply with taxation, accounting and other legal obligations;
- resolve disputes; and
- enforce our agreements and policies.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, destroy or de-identify it where appropriate and subject to applicable legal requirements.
Access and Correction
You may request access to personal information Sportsbike holds about you.
You may also ask us to correct personal information that you believe is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.
To make an access or correction request, contact:
We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.
In some circumstances, applicable law allows us to refuse or limit access. If this occurs, we will explain the reason where required by law.
Deletion and Other Privacy Requests
Depending on the laws applicable to you, you may also have rights to request deletion, restriction, objection, portability or other controls over personal information.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions, including requirements for Sportsbike to retain transaction or business records.
You can contact us at info@sportsbike.com.au to make a privacy request.
UK and European Economic Area Customers
If the UK GDPR or EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to our processing of your personal information, additional rights may be available to you.
Depending on the circumstances, these may include rights to:
- access personal information;
- correct inaccurate information;
- request deletion;
- restrict processing;
- object to certain processing;
- receive certain information in a portable format; and
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Where those laws apply, personal information may be processed because it is necessary to:
- perform a contract with you, such as fulfilling an order;
- comply with a legal obligation;
- pursue legitimate business interests where those interests are not overridden by your rights; or
- act on your consent where consent is the appropriate legal basis.
Where personal information is transferred from the EEA or UK to another country, applicable recognised transfer safeguards may be used where required.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection supervisory authority.
Children's Privacy
The Sportsbike website and Services are not directed at children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children where parental or guardian involvement would be required by applicable law.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Privacy Complaints
If you believe Sportsbike has mishandled your personal information or breached an applicable privacy obligation, please contact us at:
Please provide enough information for us to understand and investigate your concern.
We will review the complaint and aim to respond within a reasonable period.
If you are not satisfied with our response and Australian privacy law applies, you may be entitled to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
The OAIC is Australia's national privacy regulator.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:
- our business or website;
- the services and technology we use;
- our information-handling practices; or
- applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
The updated version will be published on this website and the Last updated date will be changed.
