• Website hosting, security and technical-service providers.

We do not sell customer personal information as an independent commercial product.

Cookies and shopping-cart technology

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. WordPress, WooCommerce and connected services may use cookies to:

• Remember products in your shopping cart.
• Maintain login and account sessions.
• Remember website preferences.
• Support checkout, security and fraud prevention.
• Understand website traffic and performance.

You may restrict cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may prevent the cart, login or checkout from working correctly.

Analytics and marketing

Where analytics or advertising tools are enabled, those services may collect information such as pages visited, device type, approximate location, referring website and interactions with products or advertisements.

This information may help us understand website performance, improve customer experience and measure marketing effectiveness. Third-party analytics and advertising providers may use cookies according to their own privacy policies.

WhatsApp, email and customer communication

If you contact us through WhatsApp, email or a website form, we may receive your contact details, message content and any order information you voluntarily provide.

We use that information to respond to your enquiry, provide customer support and assist with products, orders or deliveries. WhatsApp and other communication platforms process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Where promotional messages are sent, you may ask us to stop sending them by replying to the message or contacting us.

How long we retain information

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including order fulfilment, customer support, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution and compliance with applicable requirements.

The retention period may vary according to the type of information and the reason it was collected. Information may be deleted, anonymized or securely restricted when it is no longer required, subject to legitimate business and legal obligations.

How we protect information

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers should keep their passwords confidential and notify us if they suspect unauthorized use of their account.

Subject to applicable requirements and any necessary identity verification, you may contact us to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion where retention is no longer required.
• Withdraw consent for optional promotional communications.
• Raise a concern about our handling of personal information.

Some order information may need to be retained for accounting, fraud prevention, dispute handling or legal compliance even after a deletion request.

If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the matter.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service before providing personal information.
