- Manage customer accounts, returns, refunds, disputes, and customer service requests.
- Operate, maintain, personalize, and improve the store and its product offerings.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing, we process information as necessary to perform a contract with you, comply with legal obligations, pursue legitimate business interests, or based on your consent.
Cookies and Device Data
Our store and service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to keep the store functioning, remember preferences, maintain shopping carts, support security, analyze traffic, and measure marketing performance. Some technologies are necessary for core store functions, while others may be optional depending on applicable law.
You may be able to control cookies through a consent tool on the store, when available, or through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect store functionality. Browser-based privacy signals are handled where required by applicable law and supported by our systems.
How We Share Information
We may share personal information only as reasonably necessary with service providers that support our operations, such as website hosting, payment processing, order fulfillment, shipping, analytics, communications, customer support, fraud prevention, and information technology providers.
We may also disclose information when required by law, in response to a valid legal process, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of all or part of the business. Service providers are expected to handle information for the services they provide and in accordance with applicable obligations.
We do not disclose personal information to unrelated parties for their own purposes except as described in this Policy, with your direction or consent, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
International Data Transfers
Because we serve customers in multiple markets and may use service providers in different locations, personal information may be processed outside your country or region. Where required, we use legally recognized safeguards or other permitted transfer mechanisms intended to provide appropriate protection for such transfers.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including order fulfillment, customer support, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and compliance with legal obligations. Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, and applicable requirements. Information may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably needed.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no online service, transmission method, or storage system can eliminate every security risk.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:
- Request access to or a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.

- Request portability of certain information in a usable format.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe method provided in the message or by contacting us.
- Submit a complaint to an applicable data protection authority.
Residents of certain jurisdictions may have additional rights concerning targeted advertising, sharing, or the use of personal information. We will consider verified requests in accordance with applicable law. We may need to request information to confirm your identity and authority before completing a request. You may also use an agent where permitted by law, subject to appropriate verification.
Children's Privacy
Our store is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances prohibited by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us so that we can review the matter.
Third-Party Links and Services
The store may contain links to third-party websites or services. Their privacy and security practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.
