  • Order information – products purchased, payment method, transaction details

  • Device information – IP address, browser type, operating system, and time zone

  • Cookies and analytics – to enhance your experience and improve website functionality

We do not store full credit card information. All payments are securely processed through trusted third-party gateways such as Shopify Payments, PayPal, or Afterpay.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Comply with legal and regulatory requirements

With your consent, we may also use your email to send marketing communications, special offers, or updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.

3. Sharing Your Information

We share your information only as necessary to provide our services, including with:

  • Shopify (our e-commerce platform provider)

  • Payment processors (e.g. PayPal, Afterpay)

  • International suppliers and logistics partners (for order fulfillment, such as BrandsGateway and other authorized suppliers)

  • Analytics and marketing tools (such as Google Analytics or Meta/Facebook Pixel)

These third parties may be located outside Australia, including in the European Union, the United States, or Asia, depending on supplier location.

We ensure that all third-party partners follow strict data protection and privacy standards.

4. International Data Transfers

As we operate under an international dropshipping model, some of your data may be processed in countries outside Australia.
By using our website, you consent to this transfer, understanding that foreign laws may not provide the same level of data protection as those in Australia.

5. Cookies

Our site uses cookies to remember your preferences and improve your experience.
You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect certain site functions such as checkout or account login.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill orders, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
If you request deletion of your account or data, we will remove or anonymize your personal information where legally permissible.

7. Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you have the right to:

  • Access personal information we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate or outdated data

  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications

If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.

8. Security

We take data security seriously. All information is stored on secure servers, and transactions are encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology.
However, no method of online transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.
