Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously.

At Our Relationship With Clothes (O.R.W.C.), we’re committed to maintaining the highest standards of data privacy and integrity. Whether you're exploring your relationship with clothing through our Q&A's, signing up for updates, or simply browsing our site — your information is respected, protected, and never exploited.

What We Collect and Why

We collect minimal personal information, such as your name and email address, only when it’s voluntarily provided through forms, newsletter sign-ups, or online conversations.

We also collect reflections and responses through our research-based Q&A's as part of our citizen science mission. These insights help us build a collective understanding of our relationship with clothes and inform our public storytelling, awareness campaigns, and community tools.

How We Use This Information

• To share project updates, content, and event invitations

• To support our community-led research and soft activism initiatives

• To improve your experience across our website and platforms

We never sell or rent your information to third parties.

Q&A data may be used in aggregated or anonymised formats (e.g. stories, stats, or quotes) to raise awareness, open conversations, or highlight shared perspectives. We will never share your name or identifying details without your explicit consent.

Your Rights

You can access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Participation in our research is always voluntary, and you are welcome to withdraw your responses by contacting us.

However, this is only possible if your submission is identifiable (for example, if you provided your name or email along with your response). Many of our contributions - including but not limited to submissions through the Reflection Cube - are intentionally collected without identifying information. In those cases, it is not possible to trace or remove individual responses.

📩 Email us at info@streetsmith.com.au if you have any questions or requests.

Data Security

We use secure technologies and best practices to keep your information safe and only accessible to authorised team members.

Third-Party Links

Updates

We may occasionally update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our work or legal obligations. Any updates will be posted here.
