Privacy Policy​

 

At Portus, we value your privacy and recognize the importance of handling your personal information with care, integrity, and respect. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit or interact with our website. By accessing or using Portus, you agree to the practices detailed in this policy.

​

Personal Information We Collect

To deliver a personalized and seamless experience, Portus gathers information through several interactions:

​

Information You Provide Directly:

We collect data you explicitly enter on our platform. This includes details provided when you search for products, place orders, create an account, complete forms, write reviews, or contact our support team. This data may include your name, shipping/billing address, phone number, email address, recipient details, and payment information.

​

Automated Data Collection:

Like most online platforms, we automatically collect specific operational data when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, login credentials, browsing history (clickstream data to, through, and from our site), and items you viewed or searched for.

​

Cookies & Identifiers:

We utilize cookies—small data files transferred to your device—to recognize your browser. This enables convenient functionality such as saved shopping carts between visits, persistent sessions, and personalized recommendations. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may limit access to key features on Portus.

​

How We Use & Share Information

Your data is a vital part of our operation, and Portus is not in the business of selling your personal information to third parties. We share information strictly as necessary to fulfill our service commitments:

​

Service Providers & Agents:

We partner with trusted external vendors to perform specific operations on our behalf—such as order fulfillment, package delivery, payment processing, data analysis, marketing assistance, and customer support. These entities only access the information required to execute their specific duties and are prohibited from using it for other purposes.

Affiliated Businesses: When we offer services or sell product lines in collaboration with affiliated entities, relevant transaction details are shared with those partners to complete your request.

 

Legal Protection & Safety:

Portus reserves the right to disclose account and personal information when required to comply with statutory laws, enforce our Terms of Service, or protect the rights, property, and safety of Portus, our customers, or third parties. This includes exchanging data with fraud prevention and credit risk management entities.

​

Explicit Consent:

For any other third-party sharing beyond the scenarios listed above, you will receive prior notice and the option to opt out.

Communications & Managing Your Preferences

​

Email Correspondence:

We may receive delivery or open confirmations when you interact with our emails to help us measure campaign effectiveness.

​

Your Choices: You can manage or update your personal information through your My Account portal at any time (we may retain historical records of prior details for administrative purposes). If you prefer not to receive promotional communications, you can update your notification settings or click "Unsubscribe" in our newsletters.

​

Minors

Portus does not directly offer products for purchase by children. Products intended for children are sold exclusively to adults. Individuals under the age of 18 may only utilize Portus with the involvement and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

​

Disputes, Governing Law & Policy Revisions

​

Your use of Portus and any privacy-related matters are subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, including provisions regarding damage limits, resolution of disputes, and the applicable laws of Australia.

​

Our business evolves over time, and our policies will be updated accordingly. The policy in effect at the time of your interaction governs how your data is handled. We encourage you to review this page periodically to remain informed of updates.
