What Counts as "Personal Information"
Personal information means anything that identifies you or could reasonably identify you like your name, address, phone number, email, or preferences. We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted here, so it's worth checking back occasionally.

We only collect what's needed to provide our products, services and communications to you.
Note: We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 15 without a parent or guardian's consent.

We may also receive information about you from third parties (like data providers or referral partners), where they're legally allowed to share it with us.
Some information is also collected automatically as you browse like which pages you visit, your device details, and cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not work properly without them.
Why We Collect It

Who We Share It With
We may share your information with:
- Our group companies
- Trusted service providers (e.g. IT, payments, delivery, marketing)
- Promotional partners
Some of these partners may be based overseas, including in the United States. We take reasonable steps to make sure your information stays protected, but we can't guarantee complete security over the internet. We won't sell your personal information or share it beyond what's outlined in this policy, except where required by law.
Marketing & Opting Out
We won't send you marketing without your consent. If you'd like to stop receiving marketing emails or messages, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails, or by contacting us directly. Please allow up to 30 days for this to take effect. You may still receive non-marketing "administrative" emails related to your account or orders, even after opting out of marketing.

You can request to:

To do this, contact our Privacy Officer using the details below. Please allow up to 30 days for us to process your request.
Keeping Your Information Secure
We take reasonable steps to keep your personal information secure, including storing it on protected servers and processing payments through a secure, encrypted payment gateway. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute protection.
Other Things to Know
- Other websites: Links to other websites on our site don't mean we endorse them, and we're not responsible for their privacy practices.
- User-generated content: If you post reviews or comments publicly, that information may be seen and used by others, we're not responsible for how third parties use it.
- Business sale: If our company is sold or merged, your information may be transferred as part of that sale, but will still be protected under this policy.
