Examples include completing checkout, opening an account, submitting an enquiry or subscribing to updates.

Information may also be generated automatically through website technology or received from service providers involved in payments, shipping, store operations and other permitted business activities.

We aim to limit information collection to what is reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes and applicable legal requirements.

We will handle personal information only for appropriate purposes and in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

6. Order Processing and Delivery

When a customer purchases a product, relevant personal information may be shared with service providers involved in fulfilling the order.

This may include warehouse operators, shipping providers, payment processors and other authorised fulfilment partners.

Only information reasonably necessary for the relevant service should be disclosed.

Some service providers may operate from countries different from the customer's country of residence.

7. Customer Accounts

Where customer account functionality is available, account information may be used to support order history, account access and other account-related features.

Customers should take reasonable steps to protect access credentials and avoid sharing sensitive account information with unauthorised individuals.

If customers suspect unauthorised account activity, they should use the available support channels.

8. Email Marketing and Subscriptions

Customers may be offered the option to subscribe to newsletters, product announcements and promotional messages.

We may send marketing communications where the customer has provided appropriate consent or where another lawful basis applies.

Marketing messages should include an appropriate way to unsubscribe where required.

Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not necessarily prevent essential transactional communications relating to an existing order.

Customers may contact us if they require assistance with marketing preferences.

9. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, remember certain preferences, assist checkout and measure website performance.

Depending on our installed services, cookies may also support analytics or advertising functions.

Cookies may be controlled through browser settings or consent-management tools where provided.

Disabling essential cookies may affect certain website functions.

Further information about particular cookie categories and providers should be made available where legally required.

10. Advertising and Analytics

Our website may use analytics and advertising services to understand website traffic, evaluate campaigns and improve customer experiences.

Depending on the services enabled, these tools may collect or receive certain technical information or information about website interactions.

Advertising and analytics practices must reflect the tracking technologies actually installed on our store.

Customers may be able to manage relevant preferences using browser controls, device settings or available privacy choices.

We do not disclose personal information without an appropriate business purpose or lawful basis.

Personal information may be shared with authorised providers supporting:

• Website hosting.

• Payment processing.

• Order fulfilment.

• Shipping and delivery.

We seek to handle third-party disclosures responsibly and in accordance with applicable law.

12. Overseas Processing and Disclosure

Depending on our store's operational arrangements, personal information may be processed, stored or accessed outside Australia.

Overseas processing may occur through website infrastructure, service providers or fulfilment partners.

Where Australian privacy law applies to our business, relevant cross-border disclosure obligations will be observed.

Before publishing this policy, we will identify and disclose countries or categories of overseas recipients where legally required and reasonably practicable.

13. Data Security

We recognise the importance of protecting customer information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, interference and unauthorised disclosure.

Appropriate safeguards may include technical, organisational and administrative measures proportionate to the information and risks involved.

Such measures may involve access restrictions, secure service providers, account controls and other security practices.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We periodically review relevant security practices as appropriate.

14. Information Retention

We retain personal information for periods reasonably necessary to provide services, fulfil legitimate business purposes and satisfy applicable legal obligations.

Retention requirements may vary by information category.

Certain transaction records may need to be retained for accounting, taxation or compliance purposes.

Where information is no longer required and no lawful reason for continued retention exists, we will take appropriate steps to delete or de-identify it as required by applicable law.

15. Accessing Personal Information

Individuals may request access to personal information held about them, subject to applicable law.

Requests should be submitted through our published privacy contact channel.

We may need to verify the requester's identity before providing information.

Where permitted by law, certain access requests may be subject to applicable exceptions.

We will respond in accordance with relevant legal obligations.

16. Correcting Personal Information

Customers may request correction of personal information that is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or misleading.

We may seek additional information to confirm the correction where reasonably necessary.

Where correction is required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps.

Customers are encouraged to ensure that information submitted during checkout remains accurate.

17. Deletion and Privacy Requests

Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, individuals may request deletion or other changes to information held about them.

Some information may need to be retained to satisfy legal, financial, dispute-resolution or other legitimate obligations.

Each request will be reviewed based on the nature of the information and the legal requirements that apply.

We will explain relevant limitations where required.

18. Children's Privacy

Our store sells products intended for babies and children, but purchasing and account-management activities are intended for adults.

We do not intentionally encourage children to provide personal information directly through our website.

Parents and guardians should supervise children's online activity.

Where we become aware that information has been collected from a child in circumstances inconsistent with applicable legal requirements, we will assess the appropriate steps.

19. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

These websites may have their own privacy policies, terms and data practices.

We encourage customers to review the applicable policies before sharing personal information with those services.

We do not control the independent privacy practices of unrelated third-party websites.

20. Payment Security

Payments are handled using the payment arrangements available through our checkout.

Payment providers may maintain their own safeguards and compliance responsibilities.

Customers should avoid sending complete card numbers, passwords or other highly sensitive financial credentials through ordinary customer support messages.

Payment-related questions should be addressed using legitimate checkout or payment-provider channels.

21. Privacy Complaints

Individuals who have concerns about how their personal information has been handled may submit a complaint using our privacy contact information.

A complaint should explain the concern and provide sufficient relevant details for us to review the matter.

We will assess complaints and respond within the period required by applicable law.

Where a complaint cannot be resolved directly, individuals may have the right to contact the relevant privacy regulator or pursue another available remedy.

22. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy when our business practices, website technologies, service providers or legal obligations change.

The latest policy will be published on our website with an updated revision date.

Where changes require additional notices or customer consent, we will take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable law.
