The Trustee for Chordia Family Trust (ABN 79 114 603 979), trading as The Veranda Company (“VERANDA”, “we”, “us”, “our”), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). By using our website and services, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

  • Personal information: such as your name, billing and delivery address, email address and phone number when you place an order or create an account.
  • Payment information: payment card details are collected and processed securely by our third-party payment providers; we do not store full card numbers.
  • Usage information: how you interact with our website, including pages visited and products viewed.
  • Device information: such as IP address, browser type and operating system.

2. How We Use Your Information

3. How We Share Your Information

  • We do not sell or trade your personal information.
  • Service providers: we share information with trusted providers who help us operate – for example freight and courier companies (who need your delivery address), payment processors and IT providers – who are required to keep it confidential.
  • Legal reasons: we may disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights, safety or property.

4. Overseas Disclosure

Some of our service providers (for example, cloud hosting or analytics) may store or process data overseas. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled consistently with the APPs.

5. Data Security

  • We use reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
  • No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember your preferences and analyse traffic. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect site functionality.

7. Your Rights

  • You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you.
