What Information We Collect and Why (Legal Basis)

We do not rely on implied consent. Under data protection laws (including the EU GDPR), we process your personal data based on specific legal grounds:

Contractual Necessity (To Fulfill Your Order): When you purchase something from our store, we collect the personal information necessary to complete the buying and selling process. This includes your name, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address. Without this information, we cannot fulfill our contract with you or arrange shipping.

Legal Obligations: We process and retain certain financial and transactional data to comply with our statutory, legal, accounting, and tax obligations.

Legitimate Interests: When you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, device operating system, and browsing behavior. We process this data to optimize our website storefront, prevent fraudulent transactions, and ensure site security. We ensure that our legitimate interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Consent: With your explicit, opt-in consent, we may send you email marketing communications about our store, new products, special sales, and other updates. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

Data Retention and Deletion Period

We only keep your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy:

• Order and Financial Data: Retained for as long as required by relevant commercial, tax, and revenue laws (typically 5 to 7 years depending on jurisdiction) to satisfy legal auditing requirements.
• Account and Marketing Data: Retained until you request the deletion of your account or unsubscribe from our marketing lists. Upon receiving a valid erasure request, your data will be permanently and securely deleted from our active marketing databases within 30 days.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share your data with trusted third-party service providers to the extent necessary to run our store and complete your transactions. These third parties include:

• Payment Processors: Such as Stripe and PayPal, to securely handle credit card and electronic payments.

• Analytics and Site Optimization: Such as Google Analytics, to analyze website traffic, understand visitor behavior, and continuously improve our user experience.

All our payment processing partners adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, ensuring your payment details are handled securely. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party providers directly on their respective websites.

Data Security

We follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. When you enter sensitive financial information during the checkout process, the transmission of that data is fully encrypted using secure web layer technology (SSL/TLS).

Our servers do not collect, store, or have access to your full credit card numbers; all payment transactions are securely handed off to and processed by our certified payment providers.

Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience, remember items in your shopping cart, and analyze our website traffic to provide a better shopping experience.

We do not use cookie walls that force consent by default. You can manage your cookie preferences, accept, or decline specific non-essential marketing tracking at any time via our cookie consent banner or through your individual web browser settings.
