7. How We Share Personal Information
We do not treat personal information as public information simply because you use our website. We may disclose relevant information only in circumstances connected with legitimate business operations, your requests, or applicable legal requirements.
7.1. Payment Service Providers
Payment information and transaction details may be shared with the payment provider selected during checkout to authorize, process, verify, or refund a payment and to help prevent fraudulent transactions.
The information handled by the provider depends on the payment method and the provider’s own procedures.

We may share information necessary for delivery, such as your name, shipping address, telephone number when needed, and relevant order details, with shipping carriers, logistics companies, fulfillment partners, or other delivery service providers.
This information enables the relevant providers to transport orders, complete delivery, communicate delivery updates, and address shipping problems.

We may rely on third-party providers for website hosting, data storage, security, maintenance, technical support, and other infrastructure necessary to operate our online store.
Where these providers process personal information on our behalf, access should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for their assigned services, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

Where applicable law requires notice or consent for a new use or disclosure, we will take the steps required by that law.
8. International Data Transfers
Depending on the location of our service providers, the delivery destination, and the technical arrangements used to operate the website, personal information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which you reside.
Different countries may have different data protection standards and legal requirements.
Where international transfers are subject to specific legal restrictions, we will take the measures required by applicable law, which may include appropriate contractual safeguards, transfer mechanisms, or other recognized protections.
The actual locations involved depend on the services used and the arrangements in place at the relevant time.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Our website may contain links to external websites, payment platforms, shipping information pages, or other third-party services.
These external services may operate independently and maintain their own privacy policies, cookies, security practices, and data handling procedures.
We do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties merely because a link or service is accessible through our website.
Before providing personal information to an external service, you should review its applicable privacy information and understand how your data may be used.
15. Automated Processing and Fraud Prevention
Certain website systems or service providers may use automated processes to identify unusual transactions, detect suspicious activity, verify payment information, or protect against fraud.
These processes may rely on transaction details, technical information, and other relevant signals.
Where applicable law grants you rights concerning automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, we will respect those rights to the extent required by law.
The specific automated tools and decision-making arrangements, if any, depend on the systems and services actually used.
16. Do Not Track and Similar Signals
Some browsers offer settings or signals intended to communicate preferences regarding online tracking.
Because technical standards and service-provider practices may differ, our website may not respond uniformly to every such signal.
