This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share your personal information when you browse our website, communicate with us, or make a purchase. If anything in our Terms of Service conflicts with this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy takes priority for anything related to personal data. By using our website or placing an order, you confirm that you have read and understood how we handle your information.

Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. Once you leave our site, we cannot control how those websites collect or use data. You should review their privacy policies separately.
Children’s Data
Our Services are not designed for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of majority. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us so we can delete it. We do not sell or share data belonging to individuals under 16 years old.
Security and Retention
We take security seriously, but no system is completely secure. Data sent over the internet may not always be secure in transit. We retain your information for as long as necessary to maintain your account, process your orders, comply with the law, resolve disputes and enforce policies. After this, your data may be deleted or anonymised.
