Effective Date: [20/04/2026]
Cedar Roots Global Sourcing (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information and handling it in accordance with applicable privacy laws. In Australia, we comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Where we process personal data relating to individuals in other jurisdictions, we seek to comply with applicable international privacy frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the UK GDPR, to the extent they apply to our operations.
We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities. This may include names, contact details, company information, and other identifiers provided in the course of business dealings. We may also collect transactional information related to sourcing activities, as well as technical data such as IP addresses, device information, and website usage data through cookies and similar technologies.
Personal information is collected directly from individuals where possible, including through enquiries, onboarding processes, contracts, and communications. In some cases, information may be collected from third parties, such as business partners or publicly available sources, where it is lawful and reasonable to do so. We also collect certain information automatically through our website and digital platforms.
We use personal information for the primary purpose of providing our sourcing and supply chain services, managing client and supplier relationships, processing transactions, and communicating with stakeholders. Information may also be used to improve our services, ensure compliance with legal obligations, and support internal administrative functions. We will not use or disclose personal information for secondary purposes unless permitted or required by law or with the individual’s consent.
We may disclose personal information to third-party service providers, including logistics providers, IT service providers, and payment processors, where necessary to support our operations. Information may also be disclosed to suppliers and business partners in connection with transactions. In addition, we may disclose personal information where required by law, including to regulators, courts, or law enforcement authorities. We take reasonable steps to ensure that third parties handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
Due to the international nature of our business, personal information may be disclosed to recipients located outside Australia. In accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients do not breach the APPs in relation to the information. Where applicable, we implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, including contractual protections and adherence to recognised data protection standards such as the GDPR.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. This includes implementing administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved.
Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.
Individuals may request access to the personal information we hold about them and request correction of any inaccuracies. Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We may require verification of identity before processing such requests.
If an individual believes that we have breached applicable privacy laws, they may contact us to lodge a complaint. We will investigate the complaint and respond within a reasonable timeframe. If the individual is not satisfied with our response, they may have the right to escalate the matter to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) or the relevant authority in their jurisdiction.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyse website performance. Users may manage their cookie preferences through their browser settings, although disabling cookies may affect website functionality.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or business practices. The updated version will be published on our website with a revised effective date.

Cedar Roots Global Sourcing is committed to conducting its business operations ethically and responsibly, with a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery. We recognise that modern slavery encompasses serious human rights violations, including forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and exploitative labour practices.
We are committed to complying with the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) in Australia, as well as relevant international standards, including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and International Labour Organization conventions. Where our operations or supply chains extend to other jurisdictions, we seek to comply with applicable local laws addressing modern slavery risks.
This policy applies to all employees, contractors, suppliers, and business partners associated with Cedar Roots Global Sourcing. All parties are expected to adhere to the principles set out in this policy.
Given the global nature of our sourcing activities, we acknowledge that risks of modern slavery may arise in certain regions and industries. We are committed to identifying and assessing these risks within our operations and supply chains and taking appropriate steps to mitigate them.
We undertake reasonable due diligence processes when engaging with suppliers and business partners. This may include assessing their policies, practices, and compliance with labour and human rights standards. Where risks are identified, we seek to work with suppliers to address and remediate issues where appropriate.
We expect all suppliers and business partners to ensure that work is carried out voluntarily, that workers are treated with dignity and respect, and that they are provided with safe working conditions and fair remuneration. Suppliers are expected to comply with all applicable labour laws and to take steps to prevent modern slavery within their own operations and supply chains.
Where appropriate, we include contractual provisions requiring suppliers to comply with modern slavery laws and ethical standards. We reserve the right to take action, including termination of business relationships, where there is evidence of non-compliance.
We encourage employees, suppliers, and stakeholders to report any concerns relating to modern slavery or unethical practices. Reports may be made confidentially and will be investigated in a timely and appropriate manner.
We are committed to raising awareness of modern slavery risks among our staff and improving understanding of ethical sourcing practices. Training may be provided where appropriate to support this objective.
We are committed to continuously improving our approach to identifying and addressing modern slavery risks. This includes reviewing our policies, due diligence processes, and supplier engagement practices on a regular basis.
Senior management is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this policy and ensuring compliance. This policy will be reviewed periodically to ensure it remains effective and aligned with applicable legal requirements and best practices.
