  • Phone number

  • Payment details (handled securely through third-party processors)

This information is used solely for fulfilling your purchase, processing payment, shipping, and customer service follow-up.

If visitors leave reviews or comments on products, we collect the data shown in the form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
Gravatar integration may apply if you use that service (see their policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/).

Media

If you upload images (e.g., for review photos), please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Others may be able to download and extract location information from uploaded images.

Cookies

We use cookies to improve your shopping experience, track cart contents, and retain login sessions.
Examples of cookie use:

  • Session tracking during checkout

You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Some product pages may include embedded videos or images (e.g., from YouTube, Instagram, or manufacturers). Embedded content from third-party sites behaves as if you visited that site directly and may collect data, use cookies, or track interactions.

Marketing & Analytics

We may use tools such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel (Facebook), or email platforms to track user behavior, improve user experience, and deliver relevant promotions.
These tools may collect anonymized behavioral data such as:

  • Page visits

  • Clicks

  • Time spent on site

  • Device/browser information

You can opt out of personalized marketing through cookie consent settings or by adjusting your preferences with platforms like Google and Facebook.

  • Payment processors (e.g., Authorize.net, Precision Pay)

  • Shipping providers (e.g., UPS, USPS)

  • Email service providers (e.g., gmail)

  • Fraud prevention or legal authorities (if required by law or to enforce our policies)

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Order data is retained for as long as required for accounting, legal, or warranty purposes (typically 7 years).

  • Comments and reviews are stored indefinitely unless manually removed.

  • Customer accounts remain active unless deleted by the user or requested for deletion.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account, placed an order, or left a review, you can request:

We implement technical and organizational safeguards to secure your personal data, including SSL encryption, secure payment gateways, and restricted access to customer information.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Data may be transferred outside your jurisdiction for processing, especially when using global third-party services.
