6. Children’s Privacy
Kidshopeora is a family‑focused brand, but our website and online services are primarily directed at parents, guardians, and other adults purchasing products for children.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children and complying with relevant Australian regulations concerning the collection and use of children’s personal information.
- We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
- Accounts and purchases should be created and managed by adults aged 18 years or over.
- If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information as soon as practicable.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us without your consent, please contact us using the details in the Contact Information section so we can assist.
7. Data Security Measures
We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect it from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
7.1 Technical safeguards
- Encryption: use of secure socket layer (SSL) or transport layer security (TLS) to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our website.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, as described in the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section. Adjusting these settings may affect the functionality of our website.
9. International Data Transfers
Kidshopeora is based in Australia, and our primary operations are located there. However, some of our service providers or systems may be located, or may store data, outside Australia.
This means your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than Australia, which may have different data protection laws. Where we transfer personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient will handle your information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy laws.
These steps may include using contractual safeguards, assessing the privacy practices of our service providers, and limiting the information shared to what is reasonably necessary for the services being provided.
10. Data Retention Policy
We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
10.1 Retention periods
In determining appropriate retention periods, we consider factors such as:
- The nature of the information and the purposes for which it was collected.
- Legal, tax, and accounting obligations that require us to keep certain records for defined periods.
- The existence of ongoing customer relationships, open orders, or active support cases.
10.2 De‑identification and deletion
When personal information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, and it is not required to be retained by law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or de‑identify it so that it can no longer be linked to you.
