2. Payment Information

4. Shopify

Our store is hosted using Shopify.

Shopify processes certain information on our behalf to provide ecommerce functionality, including checkout, order management, hosting, fraud prevention, and related services.

Your information may therefore be processed by Shopify according to its applicable privacy practices.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our website.

These technologies may be used for purposes including:

• Remembering your preferences
• Keeping items in your shopping cart
• Maintaining secure sessions
• Measuring website traffic
• Understanding how visitors use the store
• Improving website performance
• Personalizing content
• Supporting advertising and marketing activities where permitted

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings or through cookie controls made available on our website.

Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

6. Analytics and Advertising

We may use analytics, advertising, and measurement services such as Google or other third-party platforms.

These providers may collect information about your interaction with our website through cookies or similar technologies.

Where required by applicable law, advertising or non-essential tracking technologies will be used only after obtaining appropriate consent.

7. How We Share Personal Information

We may share personal information with trusted third parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business, including:

• Payment processors
• Shipping and delivery companies
• Order fulfillment providers
• Customer service providers
• Analytics providers
• Advertising and marketing platforms
• Fraud-prevention and security providers
• IT and hosting providers
• Professional advisers

We do not sell personal information simply in exchange for money.

Certain privacy laws may define some advertising-related data sharing as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising. Where applicable, you may have rights to opt out of those activities.

8. International Data Transfers

Because we serve customers in both the United States and United Kingdom, personal information may be processed or stored outside the country where you live.

When required, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Fulfill orders
• Maintain business and financial records
• Provide customer support
• Resolve disputes
• Prevent fraud
• Comply with legal obligations

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable legal requirements.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential where an account is provided.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to your personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of certain information
• Request restriction of processing

Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal information based on:

• Performance of a contract
• Compliance with legal obligations
• Our legitimate interests
• Your consent

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data-protection rights have been violated.

If you subscribe to promotional emails, we may send you product news, offers, or other marketing communications.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in marketing emails.

Transactional emails relating to orders, shipping, payments, or customer service may still be sent when necessary.

15. Children's Privacy

Our website and products are intended for adults and are not directed toward children.
