Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Other cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, may be optional depending on your location.
Where required, you can manage non-essential cookies through the privacy or cookie controls displayed on our website. You may also adjust your browser settings, although blocking certain cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

These providers may use cookies, pixels, device identifiers and similar technologies to measure activity, understand advertising performance and provide more relevant advertising.
The information collected by these providers is also handled according to their respective privacy policies.
We do not exchange customer contact information for money. However, some privacy laws may define the use of certain advertising technologies as selling or sharing personal information. Where required by applicable law, customers can use the available privacy controls to opt out of this activity.

International Fulfilment and Overseas Processing
Orders delivered within Australia and New Zealand are normally fulfilled through our Australian warehouse.
Orders delivered outside Australia and New Zealand are normally fulfilled through our international warehouse.
To process and deliver an international order, we may provide your name, delivery address, contact details, order contents and tracking information to our international warehouse, delivery carriers and related service providers.
Because we operate online and use international providers, personal information may be processed, stored or accessed outside Australia. The countries involved may vary depending on the delivery destination and the systems used by our providers.
We take reasonable steps appropriate to our business and applicable law when selecting and working with service providers.
Payment Providers
PayPal, Afterpay and Zip may collect personal information directly when you select their payment service.
They may use your information to:
• Process the transaction
• Confirm your identity
• Assess eligibility
• Provide instalment or payment services
• Prevent fraud
• Meet their legal and regulatory obligations
Their handling of personal information is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
• Fulfil the purposes described in this policy
• Complete and document transactions
• Provide customer support
• Manage returns, refunds and warranty claims
• Prevent fraud and misuse
• Resolve disputes
• Maintain business, tax and accounting records
• Meet legal and regulatory obligations
The exact retention period depends on the type of information and why it was collected.
We may retain limited information after an account is closed or a deletion request is received where retention is required or permitted by law.
Information Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure.
However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Customers are responsible for keeping their account passwords confidential and should contact us if they believe an account has been accessed without permission.

These rights may include requesting access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability of personal information.
You may also have the right to complain to the data protection authority in your country.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, our providers may use approved contractual or legal safeguards where required.
