4. Who We Disclose Your Personal Information To

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, email delivery, marketing assistance, customer support, and payment processing. These service providers are obligated to protect your information and only use it for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
• Affiliate Partners: When you click on an affiliate link on our Site, you will be redirected to a third-party retailer’s website. Your interaction with that website is then governed by their privacy policy. We do not share your personal information directly with our affiliate partners, beyond the referral information necessary for tracking commissions.
• Analytics and Advertising Partners: We use services like Google Analytics and potentially other advertising platforms (e.g., Google AdSense, social media pixels) that may collect and process data about your interactions with our Site for analytics and advertising purposes. These third parties may have their own privacy policies.
  
  • For Google Analytics, you can learn more about how Google uses your data here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/partners
  • You can opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information to any other third party with your consent.

5. International Data Transfers

As part of our operations, we may use third-party service providers (e.g., hosting, email marketing platforms, analytics) that are located outside of Australia. This means your personal information may be transferred to, and stored in, countries other than Australia, including the United States or other locations where these service providers operate.

Where personal information is transferred outside Australia, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient handles the information in accordance with the APPs, for example, by ensuring contractual agreements are in place.

6. Security of Your Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, and loss, as well as from unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. These measures include:

• Using secure servers.
• Implementing encryption (SSL) for data transmission.
• Regularly updating software and security protocols.
• Restricting access to personal information to authorised personnel only.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
