Where the General Data Protection Regulation or similar requirements apply, we process personal data only where an appropriate legal basis exists.

Performance of a contract: processing necessary to process an order, receive payment, deliver products, or provide customer service connected with a purchase.

Legal obligations: processing necessary to comply with tax, accounting, consumer protection, fraud prevention, regulatory, or other legal requirements.

Consent: where consent is legally required, including certain marketing or non-essential tracking activities.

Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting processing already lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

6. Shopify

Our store uses Shopify as its e-commerce platform.

10. International Data Transfers

Some service providers used to operate our store may process personal data in countries outside the country where the customer resides.

Where personal data is transferred internationally and legal safeguards are required, we seek to use appropriate mechanisms and safeguards required by applicable data protection law.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for legitimate legal, accounting, tax, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and recordkeeping requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason for processing.

When personal information is no longer required, it may be deleted, anonymized, or securely retained where continued retention is required by law.
