We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse site performance, and deliver relevant content. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser that help our website function effectively.

Types of Cookies We Use

You may manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

4. How We Share Your Information

We share your information only where necessary to operate our business and deliver your order. We never share your data for purposes unrelated to your purchase or our services.

Service Providers We Work With

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website operates over HTTPS with SSL/TLS encryption, and payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant gateways.

While we take every reasonable precaution to secure your data, no digital transmission or storage system is completely immune to breach. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords for your account and to contact us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account.

6. Your Rights & Choices

As a customer of a US-based business, you have rights regarding your personal information. Depending on your state of residence — particularly if you are a California resident under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) — you may have the following rights:

• Right to Know: You may request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you.
• Right to Delete: You may request the deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions required by law.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at [email protected]. We will respond to verified requests within 45 days.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, including maintaining your order history, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will promptly delete such information from our systems.
