This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you visit our website, place an order, contact our team, or use our services. It also explains how information may be used, shared, stored, and protected.
By using our website, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to review this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent for particular data processing activities, we will seek that consent separately.

6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including processing orders, providing customer support, resolving disputes, maintaining appropriate business records, and meeting legal or regulatory requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the transaction, applicable legal obligations, and whether the information is required to establish or defend legal claims.
When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, securely dispose of it, or anonymize it, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping requirements.

11. Children's Privacy
Our website is not intended to collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without any consent or authorization required by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

Some browsers offer privacy settings or signals intended to limit online tracking. The way these signals are recognized varies across browsers and services. We will honor privacy signals where required by applicable law and where our website systems support them.
You can also manage available cookie preferences through your browser settings or any privacy preference tools provided on our website.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, and misuse.
These measures may include access restrictions, secure website connections, service-provider safeguards, and routine maintenance of website systems. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If a personal data breach occurs, we will take the actions required by applicable law, which may include notifying affected individuals or relevant authorities where necessary.
