We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To process and fulfil your orders, including order confirmation, shipping, and returns.
To communicate with you about your orders, account status, or customer service inquiries.
To send you promotional materials, newsletters, and special offers, only if you have opted in to receive such communications. You may unsubscribe at any time.
To improve our website, product selection, and customer service by analysing usage patterns and feedback.
To prevent fraudulent transactions, monitor for security risks, and enforce our terms and conditions.
To comply with legal obligations and regulatory requirements.

We process your personal data based on legitimate interests, contractual necessity, and your consent where required. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share your data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting business, or serving you, including:

Payment processors (who handle your payment data securely and do not retain it for marketing).
Shipping and logistics partners to deliver your orders.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we keep order records for tax and accounting compliance, and account information until you request deletion. After that, your data will be securely anonymised or deleted.

In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions, are in place to protect your data.
