Gifted From The Heart does not sell products for purchase by children. If you are under 18, you may use Gifted From The Heart.com.au only with involvement of a parent or guardian.

Your Data Rights and Choices
We believe that users should be treated equally no matter where they are, and so we are making the following options to control your data available to all users, regardless of their location.

Individuals outside Australia have certain legal rights to obtain confirmation of whether we hold personal data about them, to access personal data we hold about them (including, in some cases, in portable form), and to obtain its correction, update, amendment or deletion in appropriate circumstances. They may also object to our uses or disclosures of personal data, to request a restriction on its processing, or withdraw any consent, though such actions typically will not have retroactive effect. They also will not affect our ability to continue processing data in lawful ways.
