Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Buy Disposables Australia (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit our website, place an order, or contact us. We aim to follow applicable Australian privacy requirements and good practice, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), where applicable.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide when you submit enquiries, create an account (if applicable), place an order, request wholesale information, or communicate with us, such as:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone/WhatsApp number (if provided)
- Company name and business details (if provided for wholesale)
- Enquiry details, messages, and attachments you send us
- Delivery and billing information (if you place an order)
- Order history and customer service interactions
We may also collect information automatically from your browser or device when you use the website, such as IP address, device identifiers, pages visited, referring URLs, approximate location (derived from IP), and cookie/analytics data.
2. Age Gating & Eligibility Checks (18+)
To support our adult-only access policy and compliance-led operating approach, we may apply age gates and, where appropriate, request verification to confirm eligibility. If eligibility cannot be confirmed, we may refuse or cancel an order and process a refund where applicable.
Availability and ordering eligibility may vary depending on product type, destination, and internal compliance checks.
3. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Respond to enquiries and provide customer support
- Process orders, payments, delivery, and returns (when applicable)
- Verify eligibility for purchase (for example, age gating or other checks)
- Communicate about orders, availability, pricing, and service updates
- Prevent fraud, abuse, chargebacks, and unauthorised access
- Improve website performance, reliability, and user experience
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies
We do not sell your personal information. If our practices change, we will update this policy.
4. Communications (Email, Phone, WhatsApp)
If you provide an email address, we may email you about your enquiry or transaction. If you provide a phone number or WhatsApp number, we may contact you about your enquiry or order. Where marketing communications are sent, we aim to provide an opt-out mechanism consistent with applicable Australian requirements.
5. Cookies & Analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, understand usage, and improve performance. You can typically manage cookies through your browser settings. Where required, we may provide cookie controls to help you manage preferences for analytics and similar technologies.
6. How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers only as needed to operate the website and fulfil orders, for example:
- Payment processors (to process payments)
- Delivery carriers and logistics partners (to deliver orders)
- Verification or fraud-prevention providers (to confirm eligibility or reduce risk)
- Website hosting, analytics, and security providers
- Customer support tools (to manage enquiries)
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security (for example, to respond to lawful requests from competent authorities).
7. Sensitive Information
We do not intentionally collect sensitive information unless needed for a specific purpose (for example, to complete eligibility checks or meet security requirements). Please do not send sensitive information through open email channels unless requested by our support team for a specific issue.
8. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, such as responding to you, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and applicable requirements.
9. Data Protection & Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
10. Children's Privacy
Our website is intended for adults and is not directed to minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a minor has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
11. Your Privacy Rights (Australia)
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights such as:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Make a complaint about how we handle personal information
- Opt out of certain marketing communications

OAIC notice. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal information, you may be able to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
If you access the site from outside Australia, you may also have rights under local laws. We will handle requests in line with applicable requirements.
12. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no single industry standard for responding to these signals, we may not respond to all Do Not Track requests.
13. International Visitors
If you access the site from outside Australia, your information may be processed in Australia and in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we aim to use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the circumstances.
