Marketing Communications

Where permitted by applicable law, we may send marketing communications to customers or subscribers who have provided appropriate consent or where another lawful basis applies.

Marketing messages will provide an appropriate method for recipients to unsubscribe where required.

Australian spam rules generally require commercial electronic messages to comply with consent, sender-identification, and unsubscribe requirements, and unsubscribe requests must generally be honoured within five working days.

Customers may also contact:

to request removal from our marketing communications.

Transactional messages concerning an order, payment, security matter, return, refund, or customer service request may continue where necessary even after a customer unsubscribes from promotional communications.

Overseas Disclosure

Because ecommerce platforms, cloud providers, payment providers, fulfilment partners, shipping carriers, or technology services may operate internationally, personal information may be processed or stored outside Australia.

Where Australian privacy requirements concerning overseas disclosure apply, we will take steps appropriate to the circumstances.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, organisational, and technical measures intended to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Customers should use strong passwords, protect account credentials, and avoid sharing sensitive authentication information.

Data Breaches

If an incident involving personal information occurs, we will assess the circumstances and take appropriate response measures.

Where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under the Privacy Act applies and an eligible breach is likely to result in serious harm, covered organisations may be required to notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Data Retention

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes including:

  • fulfilling transactions;
  • customer service;
  • accounting;
  • record keeping;
  • fraud prevention;
  • dispute resolution;
  • legal compliance; and
  • enforcement of agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable legal or operational requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, destroy, or de-identify it where appropriate.

Access and Correction

Where applicable law provides a right to access or correct personal information, individuals may contact us to make a request.

Requests should be sent to:

info@littlesleepiesax.shop

We may need to verify identity before providing access to personal information or making certain corrections.
