  • We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). If you reside outside Australia, any additional local data-protection regulations (e.g., GDPR for EU residents) may also apply, in which case we will take reasonable steps to align with those requirements.

• Device information (e.g., device model, operating system).

• Prevent fraudulent activity and ensure the security of our Site.


5. How We Store and Protect Your Information
• All personal data is stored on secure servers located in Australia.
• We implement industry-standard measures (e.g., SSL encryption in transit, access controls) to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
• Only authorized personnel (e.g., customer support, accounting) may access personal data, and they must do so for legitimate business purposes.
• We retain your data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described here, or as required by law (typically 7 years for financial records under Australian tax rules).


6. When and Why We Share Your Information

• To respond to lawful requests by public authorities.

c. Business Transfers
• If CleanMattress is sold, merged, or acquires another business, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via prominent notice if your data is to be transferred.
