3) How we use your personal information (purposes)

We use personal information to:

    • process and fulfill orders, arrange shipping, send order confirmations/updates, handle returns (where applicable), and provide customer support.

  2. Communicate with you

    • respond to requests, questions, or issues; provide service messages (e.g., shipping updates).

  4. Marketing and advertising (where enabled)

    • send marketing emails/newsletters and show offers, only where permitted by law and/or based on your preferences and consent. 

4) Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK/Switzerland)

Where applicable, we process your personal information under the following legal bases:

  • Contract performance (to fulfill your order and provide the Services).

  • Legal obligation (tax, accounting, consumer protection, and other legal requirements).

  • Legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, service improvements, and customer relationship management), balanced against your rights.

  • Consent (e.g., for non-essential cookies/analytics/marketing where required, and for direct marketing in certain cases). 

5) Sharing and disclosure of personal information

We may share your personal information with:

  • Service providers who help us run the business (e-commerce hosting, payment processing, shipping/logistics, customer support tools, IT/security providers).

  • Professional advisors (legal, tax, accounting) where necessary.

  • Authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.

We do not sell your personal information.

6) International transfers

Your information may be processed outside your country of residence (including outside the EEA) by our service providers. When required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers (such as contractual protections). 

7) Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including:

  • Order and invoice data: typically retained for the period required by applicable tax/accounting laws.

  • Customer support records: retained as needed to manage requests and for legal protection.

  • Marketing data: retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent (and then only as needed for suppression lists/compliance). 

8) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • enable essential Site functionality (e.g., cart, checkout, security),

  • and, where enabled, to measure performance/analytics and marketing.

Non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics/marketing) are used only where permitted and, where required, only after you provide consent via the cookie banner/settings.

10) Marketing communications

If you receive marketing emails from us, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option in the message or by contacting us. Service/transactional messages (e.g., order updates) are not marketing and may still be sent as needed.

11) Children

The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
