Using Personal Information

We utilise your Personal Information to deliver our services to you, including offering products for sale, processing payments, fulfilling and shipping your orders, and keeping you informed about new products, services, and promotional offers.

Legal Basis

In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), if you reside in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), we process your personal information based on the following legal bases:

Your consent;

The performance of the contract between you and the Site;
Compliance with our legal obligations;
To protect your vital interests;
To carry out a task in the public interest;
For our legitimate interests, provided they do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Retention

Upon placing an order through the Site, we retain your Personal Information for our records unless you request its erasure. For more details regarding your right to erasure, please refer to the 'Your Rights' section below.

Automated Decision-Making

If you are an EEA resident, you have the right to object to processing that relies solely on automated decision-making, including profiling, when such decision-making has a legal effect on you or significantly affects you.

Our processor, Shopify, employs limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud, which does not have a legal or significant impact on you.

Services involving aspects of automated decision-making include:

Temporary blacklisting of IP addresses associated with repeated unsuccessful transactions. This blacklist remains active for a short duration.
Temporary blacklisting of credit cards linked to blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist remains active for a brief period.

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data that is downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We utilise various types of cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies enhance your browsing experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login credentials and region selection). This eliminates the need to re-enter such information each time you revisit the site or navigate between pages. Cookies also provide insights into how people use the website, such as whether they are first-time visitors or frequent users.

For an up-to-date list of cookies used on our merchant storefront, please refer to Shopify's cookie information available at this link: https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies

The duration for which a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies last until you finish your browsing session, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or are manually deleted. The majority of cookies we use are persistent and have expiration dates ranging from 30 minutes to two years from the date of download on your device.

You have the ability to control and manage cookies in various ways. However, please note that removing or blocking cookies may adversely affect your user experience, and certain parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your preferences regarding cookie acceptance through your browser's controls, typically found in the "Tools" or "Preferences" menu. To learn more about adjusting your browser settings or managing and filtering cookies, consult your browser's help file or visit websites like www.allaboutcookies.org.

Furthermore, it is important to understand that blocking cookies may not completely prevent us from sharing information with third parties, such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of specific uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions provided in the "Behavioural Advertising" section mentioned above.

Do Not Track

Please be aware that due to the lack of consistent industry standards regarding how to respond to "Do Not Track" signals, we do not modify our data collection and usage practices when we detect such signals from your browser.

Changes

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

Complaints

If you have any complaints or concerns, please contact us via email or mail using the contact details provided in the "Contact" section above.
