What personal information do we collect or process?
When we use the term "personal information," we mean information that identifies you or another individual, or that can reasonably be linked to you.

How do we use your personal information?
Depending on how you interact with us and which Services you use, we may use your personal information for the following purposes:
Providing, personalizing and improving the Services. We use your personal information to provide the Services to you. This includes processing payments, fulfilling your orders, saving your preferences and favourite items, sending account notifications, managing your account, arranging shipping, processing returns and exchanges, enabling product reviews, and personalizing your shopping experience, including product recommendations. We also use your personal information to continuously improve our Services.
Marketing and advertising. We use your personal information for marketing and advertising purposes, including sending you marketing communications by email, SMS or post, and displaying personalized advertising on our website and on third-party websites. This may be based on your previous purchases, your shopping cart or your use of the Services.
Security and fraud prevention. We use your personal information to authenticate your account, enable secure payments, and detect, investigate and prevent fraudulent, unlawful or abusive activities. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. Please do not share your username, password or other account credentials with anyone.
Communicating with you. We use your personal information to provide customer support, respond to your enquiries and maintain our business relationship with you.
Legal obligations. We use your personal information to comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests from public authorities, establish, exercise or defend legal claims, and enforce our Terms and Policies.
How do we share your personal information?
In certain circumstances, we may share your personal information with third parties for legitimate purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. These may include:
- Service providers and other third parties that perform services on our behalf, including IT services, payment processing, data analysis, customer support, cloud hosting, fulfilment and shipping.

Relationship with Shopify
Our online store is powered by Shopify. Shopify processes personal information to operate our store and to provide and continually improve the Services.
Information you submit through our store may be transferred to Shopify and Shopify's service providers and may be processed in countries outside your country of residence. We also use certain Shopify features to analyse and improve our store. For these purposes, Shopify may use personal information collected through your use of our store, other Shopify stores, or Shopify itself.
Where Shopify processes personal information for its own purposes, Shopify acts as the data controller. For more information, please refer to Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy.
Depending on where you live, you may exercise your privacy rights with Shopify through the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Third-party websites and links
The Services may contain links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to websites that we do not own or control, you should review their privacy policies, security practices and terms of use. We are not responsible for the privacy, security or content of those websites, nor for the accuracy, completeness or reliability of any information they contain.
Information you post on public or semi-public platforms, including social media, may be visible to other users. The inclusion of a link does not imply that we endorse the website, its content or its operators unless expressly stated.
Children's data
The Services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who are under the age of majority as defined by the laws of their country of residence. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child who has provided us with personal information, you may contact us using the details below to request that the information be deleted.
To the best of our knowledge, we do not sell or share the personal information of individuals under the age of 16 where prohibited by applicable privacy laws.
Security and retention of your information
Please be aware that no security measure is completely secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Information transmitted over the internet may also be subject to risks beyond our control. We therefore recommend that you do not send sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communication channels.
How long we retain your personal information depends on a number of factors, including whether we need it to manage your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal limitations.
Right of access. You may request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Right to erasure. You may request that we delete your personal information, subject to any legal retention obligations.
Right to rectification. You may request that inaccurate or incomplete personal information be corrected.
Right to data portability. Subject to applicable law, you may request a copy of your personal information or ask that it be transferred to a third party.
Managing your communication preferences. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails. You will continue to receive transactional communications, such as order confirmations and account-related messages, where necessary.
If you reside in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you may also have the following rights, subject to applicable law:
Right to object and restrict processing. You may object to the processing of your personal information or request that its processing be restricted.
Right to withdraw consent. Where we process your personal information based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your withdrawal.
You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the details provided below. For more information about how Shopify processes personal information and the rights you may have in relation to Shopify, please visit https://privacy.shopify.com/en.
Before processing your request, we may need to verify your identity. You may also appoint an authorised representative to act on your behalf, provided appropriate proof of authorisation is supplied.
Complaints
If you have any questions or complaints regarding how we process your personal information, please contact us using the details provided below.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. A list of European data protection authorities is available at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members.
International transfers
Your personal information may be processed outside the country in which you reside.
Where personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms, unless the destination country has been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.
