While we take all reasonable and necessary steps to safeguard your data, no electronic storage or internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we commit to continuously improving our security measures to mitigate risks and protect your personal information.
5. Your Privacy Rights

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar standard web tracking technologies (e.g., web beacons) to enhance your browsing and shopping experience. Cookies are small, non-identifiable text files stored on your device that allow the Site to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and analyze Site traffic.
We use two types of cookies:
-
Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Site’s basic functionality (e.g., processing orders, managing your cart) – these cannot be disabled without limiting Site use
-
Analytics & Preference Cookies: Used to track browsing activity and remember your preferences (e.g., language, product filters) – these can be disabled in your browser settings
We do not use cookies to collect identifiable personal information without your explicit consent, and all cookie data is used solely to improve the Site and your experience.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our Site and products are not intended for use by children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without parental/guardian consent, we will immediately delete the information from our systems and servers.
8. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with legal, tax, or accounting obligations. Once the data is no longer needed (e.g., after your order is fully fulfilled and all refund/return windows have expired), we will securely delete or anonymize it to prevent future identification.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our data practices, Site functionality, or global privacy regulations. Any updates or revisions will be posted prominently on this page of the Site, and the revised policy will take effect immediately upon posting.
