This Privacy Policy also describes the choices and rights you have with respect to your personal data.
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect on our website and through your use of the Services generally, and through communications between you and us. It does not apply to websites and services that are owned and operated by third parties.

2. PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT
Personal data is any information about an individual that could, alone or together with other information, identify them or reasonably be linked to them. It does not include aggregated information that no longer identifies an individual, which we may use for research purposes and to operate, analyze, and improve the Services.
The personal data we collect falls into three categories: information you provide to us directly, information we collect automatically, and information we collect from other sources.
2.1 Personal Data You Voluntarily Provide
This may include:
Account and order information, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, and username, depending on the features you use.
Payment information, such as your billing details, payment method, and shipping details.
Communications, such as records of messages you send to us.
Other information, such as when you fill in a form on our site, respond to a survey, or contact us with a question.

This may include:
Device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser type, access dates and times, the pages you view, and how you interact with our website.
Transactional information, such as the date, time, and amount of a purchase.
Approximate location information, determined from your IP address or shared through your device settings.

We may collect data about you from other sources, including service providers and business partners who assist us with payment processing, analytics, marketing, hosting, and customer support, as well as through third party platforms if you interact with us on social media.
3. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
3.1 General Use
We generally use your data to provide the Services you request, to perform customer service functions, for security and fraud prevention, for marketing purposes, and to perform analytics.
3.2 Legal Bases Under the GDPR
We only use your personal data if and to the extent applicable law allows. We may process your personal data under one of the following legal bases:
Performance of a contract, where processing is necessary to fulfill an order or agreement with you.
Legitimate interests, where we or a third party have a legitimate interest that is not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Legal requirement, where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

3.3 Purposes of Use
We use your personal data to provide and support the Services, including order fulfillment and customer service. We use it to communicate with you about your account, order, or any Service related updates. Where you have consented, we use it to personalize your experience and to send you marketing communications about our products and offers. We also use it to protect our business and legal rights, including detecting and preventing fraud or misuse, to comply with legal obligations, and for general business administration such as accounting and recordkeeping.
4. ADVERTISING AND SOCIAL MEDIA USE
We may use your personal data for advertising purposes, including showing personalized advertisements and measuring the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We may work with third party advertising platforms to reach relevant audiences and promote our products.
For these purposes, we may process and share categories of data such as your contact details, online identifiers like cookie IDs or device identifiers, and information about your interactions with our website, emails, or advertisements. In some cases, we may share your email address in a secured, encoded format with these platforms so they can match it with their own users.
We use this data to show you personalized advertisements, to reach visitors who have previously interacted with our website, and to measure and improve our advertising performance.
Where required by law, we rely on your consent to use your personal data for targeted advertising. You can withdraw your consent at any time, as described in the Your Rights section below. Where permitted, we may otherwise rely on our legitimate interest in promoting our products and growing our business.
5. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We may share your personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:
Service providers. We share data with vendors and service providers who support our business, such as payment processors, shipping carriers, website hosting providers, and customer support tools, all of whom are required to keep your data confidential and use it only for the purposes we specify.
Change in business ownership. We may share data if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets.
Legal compliance. We may share data to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, or legal processes.
With your consent. We share data with other companies if you give us permission to do so.
Aggregated data. We may share data that has been aggregated so that it no longer identifies an individual, for purposes such as market analysis or business reporting.
