6. Sharing & Disclosure

We may share information with:

  • Service providers: payment processors, shipping carriers, email platforms, web hosting, and analytics providers.

  • Legal & safety: when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and safety.

10. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information as long as necessary for the purposes described (order fulfillment, legal compliance, dispute resolution). We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data, but no system is 100% secure; if a breach occurs, we will follow applicable notification requirements.

Our site may link to third-party sites (social media, payment processors, shipping providers). This policy does not apply to those third parties; review their privacy practices separately.

13. International Transfers

If you’re outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries. We’ll take steps required by law to protect your data when transferred across borders.
