6. Sharing Information with Service Providers
We may share relevant information with trusted third-party service providers that assist with operating our online retail platform.
Such providers may include payment processors, fulfillment partners, delivery companies, website hosting providers, technical support services, fraud prevention providers, and customer service systems.
Information shared with a provider is intended to be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.
For example, shipping partners may receive recipient details and delivery addresses to complete shipments.
Payment processors may receive transaction information necessary for authorization, settlement, and refunds.
We do not sell personal information as part of our ordinary retail business operations.
Where advertising or analytics technologies involve information sharing, the relevant practices and available choices should be considered separately from direct sales of customer databases.
7. Data Security
We take the protection of customer information seriously.
Our approach includes appropriate administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards intended to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
Security practices may include access controls, secure transaction processing, system monitoring, and appropriate management of service-provider relationships.
Access to personal information should be restricted to personnel or providers with a legitimate operational need.
However, no electronic transmission, website, or information storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Customers are encouraged to use strong account credentials and avoid sharing sensitive login information.
8. Data Retention
Personal information is retained for periods reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy.
Retention periods may depend on the type of information, the nature of the customer relationship, operational requirements, recordkeeping needs, and the resolution of disputes.
For example, purchase records may be retained to support order inquiries, refunds, accounting processes, and transaction verification.
Information that is no longer necessary may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise managed through appropriate retention procedures.
9. Customer Privacy Choices
Customers may have options to review, correct, update, or request deletion of certain personal information.
Requests can be submitted through the customer support methods available on our website.
We may need to verify the requester’s identity before making changes that could affect account security or transaction records.
Certain information may need to be retained for legitimate operational purposes, unresolved transactions, security requirements, or other applicable obligations.
Where optional marketing communications are offered, customers may withdraw their subscription preferences using the methods provided in those messages or through available account controls.

Customers who create an account are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials.
We encourage the use of unique passwords and appropriate account security practices.
Customers should notify support if they believe their account has been accessed without authorization.
We may take reasonable security measures when suspicious account activity is detected.
