Data Protection

Differentiating Data Handling for Account Holders

My Store recognizes that the data collected from an account holder differs from that of a guest checkout user. Our privacy policy clarifies these differences while maintaining the same commitment to security.

Account Holder Data Advantages

For account holders, we retain purchase history to streamline future orders and offer loyalty-based shipping benefits or special offers on their preferred Australian beverage categories. This data retention is based on your consent upon account creation and is used to enhance your long-term service experience.

Guest Checkout Data Minimization

For users who choose guest checkout, we apply a strict data minimization principle. We only collect the absolute minimum data required for the transaction, age verification, and compliant shipping. This information is purged from active systems much sooner than account holder data, once the order is successfully delivered and any return period has concluded.

Analytical Cookies for Website Improvement

We use non-personally identifiable analytical cookies to gather aggregate statistics on which Australian beverage regions (e.g., Barossa, Mornington Peninsula) receive the most traffic. This statistical information is invaluable for improving our website structure and content, making it easier for all customers to navigate our diverse product offerings.

Data Portability and Accessibility

Account holders have the right to request a copy of their personal data in a common, easily readable format. This right to data portability empowers you to take control of the information you have entrusted to My Store. We make this process straightforward and accessible through a secure request mechanism.

Shipping Provider Data Security Agreement

Every shipping provider we partner with must sign a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with My Store. This DPA legally binds them to use your personal information solely for the purpose of shipping and to maintain strict security standards comparable to our own, protecting your data throughout the entire logistics chain.
