Where applicable, we will provide the required notices and choices.

We may share information with service providers and other authorized parties when reasonably necessary to process payments, fulfill orders, deliver products, maintain our website, provide technical support, prevent fraud, or carry out other legitimate business activities.

This policy should be read alongside our Terms of Service, Shipping Policy, and Return & Refund Policy.

Payment Information

Payments made through our website may be processed by third-party payment processors or financial service providers.

When a third-party payment provider handles a transaction, payment card information may be collected and processed directly by that provider. The extent to which payment information is transmitted to or stored by our website depends on the payment method and the configuration of the payment service.

We do not intend to store complete payment card details on our website when those details are processed directly by an external payment provider. However, we may receive transaction references, payment status, limited payment method details, billing information, or other information needed to administer an order.

Third-party payment providers operate under their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices. Please review the information provided by the relevant provider when completing a payment.

The safeguards implemented may vary depending on the type of information, the processing activity, the systems involved, and the risks associated with the information.

No website, electronic storage system, or Internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, although we take reasonable measures intended to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Customers should also take reasonable precautions when using online services, including protecting access to their email accounts and avoiding the submission of unnecessary sensitive information through unsecured communication channels.

If we become aware of a personal information security incident that triggers a notification obligation, we will handle the matter in accordance with applicable law.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose and applicable requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law.

In some circumstances, we may need to retain certain information after a deletion request to comply with legal obligations, complete a transaction, resolve a dispute, or protect against fraudulent or unlawful activity.

12. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information
