How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. However, we may share your data with:

  • Service providers and partners: Shipping carriers, payment processors, IT hosting and maintenance providers, analytics platforms, and customer service tools. These parties act as processors and are contractually bound to use your data only for the specific services they provide to us.
  • Professional advisors: Legal, accounting, or consulting professionals when necessary for business operations or dispute resolution.
  • Law enforcement or regulatory authorities: When required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, and that of our users or others.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and understand user preferences. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted). You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences; however, disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality, such as cart retention and personalized recommendations.

Data Security

We implement a range of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption (SSL/TLS) for data transmission, firewalls, access controls, regular security assessments, and employee training. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we keep your order history and account data for operational and analytical purposes, but we will anonymize or delete data that is no longer needed. Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the purposes of processing, and applicable legal statutes of limitations.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access and rectification: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and correct any inaccuracies.
  • Erasure (“right to be forgotten”): Request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
  • Restriction or objection: Restrict or object to our processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as direct marketing.
  • Data portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and transmit it to another controller.
  • Withdraw consent: Withdraw any consent you have previously given for specific processing activities, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
  • Opt-out of marketing: Unsubscribe from promotional emails by following the “unsubscribe” link in each message or adjusting your account preferences.
