About This Privacy Policy
Souvenirs Australia is committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently. We aim to manage personal information in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply to us.
This policy applies to personal information collected through our website, online store, customer service channels, newsletter subscriptions, promotions, reviews and other interactions with Souvenirs Australia.
You can generally browse our website without identifying yourself. However, certain services such as placing an order, creating an account, subscribing to communications or contacting us require personal information so that we can provide the requested service.
What Personal Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with us. It may include:
Identity & Contact Information

Technical & Website Information
IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referral information, cookies, session information and approximate location derived from your internet connection.
Payment information
Payments may be processed by specialist payment providers. Card details are generally transmitted securely to the applicable payment provider rather than stored directly by Souvenirs Australia. We may retain transaction references, payment method information, payment status and other limited information required for accounting, refunds, fraud prevention and customer support.
Sensitive information
We do not ordinarily seek to collect sensitive personal information. Please avoid sending sensitive information to us unless it is reasonably necessary for us to assist with your enquiry or transaction.

place an order or create an account

contact us by email, telephone or through our website
submit a review, survey, enquiry or other content

We may use personal information to:
process, fulfil and manage orders
process payments and refunds

We may also use aggregated or de-identified information for analytics, reporting, website improvement and business planning where that information no longer reasonably identifies an individual.
When We Share Personal Information
We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide services to you or comply with legal obligations.
This may include disclosure to:
ecommerce, website hosting and cloud service providers
payment processors, banks and payment platforms
Australia Post, couriers, freight providers and other delivery services
email, newsletter and customer communication providers
analytics, technology, IT support, cybersecurity and fraud-prevention providers

Cookies, Analytics & Location Information
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences, maintain shopping sessions, analyse website usage, improve performance and provide relevant website functionality.
We may also use your IP address or similar technical information to estimate your general location. This may be used to provide localisation features such as displaying an appropriate currency or other location-relevant website content.
Cookies and similar technologies may be used for:
shopping cart and checkout functionality
account and session management
security and fraud prevention
remembering website preferences
currency and location-related functionality
traffic, analytics and performance measurement
marketing and advertising where permitted.
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website, including shopping cart, account, currency or checkout features.
Marketing Communications
We may use your contact information to send newsletters, special offers, product updates and other promotional communications where permitted by applicable law, including where you have provided consent or where consent may lawfully be inferred from the circumstances and our relationship with you.
Marketing communications will identify Souvenirs Australia and provide an appropriate method for opting out.
You can stop receiving marketing emails at any time by:
using the unsubscribe link provided in a marketing email, or
Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from contacting you about an existing or previous order, payment, delivery, return, account, customer service enquiry or other non-marketing matter.
Overseas Service Providers & Data Processing
Some of the technology, payment, cloud, analytics, communication and other service providers we use may store, process or access information outside Australia.
The locations used by service providers may change over time and, because some providers use global infrastructure, it may not always be practicable for us to identify every country in which information may be processed.
Where Australian privacy law requires us to take particular steps in relation to an overseas disclosure of personal information, we will take reasonable steps to meet those requirements.
Security & Data Breaches
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Depending on the circumstances, these measures may include access controls, secure systems, encryption, passwords, security software, service-provider controls and administrative procedures.
Payment processing is generally performed through specialist payment providers rather than by storing complete payment card details directly within our own website systems.
No method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security against every possible cyberattack, system failure or unauthorised action. This statement does not limit any obligation we have under applicable law.
If a data breach occurs, we will assess the circumstances and take appropriate steps to contain and respond to it. Where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme or another applicable law requires notification, we will notify affected individuals and the relevant regulator as required.
How Long We Keep Personal Information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or for another permitted purpose.
This may include retaining information for:
order fulfilment and customer service
accounting, taxation and financial record keeping
warranty, return and refund matters
fraud prevention and security
legal claims and dispute resolution
compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
Where required by applicable privacy law, personal information that is no longer reasonably required will be destroyed or de-identified, unless we are legally required or otherwise permitted to retain it.
Accessing or Correcting Your Information
You may contact us to request access to personal information we hold about you or to ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
To protect customer privacy, we may ask you to provide reasonable information so that we can verify your identity before providing access to or changing personal information.
There may be limited circumstances in which access or correction can be refused or restricted under applicable law. Where required, we will explain the reason for doing so.
If you have a question, concern or complaint about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so that we can investigate the matter.
Please provide enough information for us to understand the issue, together with your preferred contact details and any relevant order or reference number.
We will consider privacy complaints in good faith and aim to respond within a reasonable period.

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Once you leave our website, the privacy practices and security of those websites are outside our control.
A link does not necessarily mean that we endorse the privacy, security or content practices of the third-party website. We recommend reviewing the applicable privacy policy before providing personal information to another website.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
