• Technical Information: We automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited on our site through cookies and similar technologies.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We value your privacy and do not sell your personal information. We may share your data in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We work with trusted third parties (e.g., payment processors like PayPal and credit card gateways, shipping carriers) to facilitate orders and operations. These partners are bound by confidentiality agreements.

We only share information necessary for these purposes and ensure it is handled securely.

• All transactions are processed through encrypted connections (SSL technology) to safeguard payment details.
• We store data on secure servers and adhere to industry-standard protocols to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
• While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We continuously update our practices to address evolving threats.

Data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations.
