Legal obligations – for example, when we retain information required for accounting, tax or other legal purposes.

SHOPIFY AND SERVICE PROVIDERS

Our online store is hosted by Shopify. Shopify processes personal information necessary to provide and operate the e-commerce platform.

We also share personal information with service providers where necessary to operate our business and fulfil your order. These may include payment providers, delivery and logistics companies, IT and website service providers, and analytics or marketing services that we use.

We only share information that is necessary for these purposes. We do not sell your personal information.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some of our service providers, including Shopify and its subprocessors, may process personal information outside the European Economic Area.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards are used as required by applicable data protection law.

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet our legal obligations.

Order and transaction information may be retained for the periods required under applicable accounting and tax legislation.

Other personal information is retained only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or until consent is withdrawn where processing is based on consent, unless we have another legal reason to retain it.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the online store, remember your preferences, understand how the website is used and, where you have consented, support analytics and marketing.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. Non-essential cookies are used only according to your choices and applicable law.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie settings available on our website.
