We process this information where necessary to perform our contract with you and/or where it is in our legitimate interests to provide effective customer service and operate our business.

We may use personal information to:

- respond to lawful requests from regulators, courts or law enforcement authorities;
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims; and
- comply with other legal obligations.
Our legal basis is compliance with a legal obligation and, where applicable, our legitimate interests in protecting and managing our business.

We may use your personal information to send you information about products, promotions or offers and to measure and improve our advertising.
Where applicable law requires consent, we rely on your consent. Where permitted by law, we may rely on our legitimate interests to market relevant products and services to existing customers.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us.

Depending on the circumstances, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business or your consent where required by law.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to:

- remember your preferences;
- maintain shopping basket functionality;
- provide secure checkout;
- analyse website traffic and performance;

Where required by law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will only be used after you have provided consent.
You may manage your privacy and cookie choices through the cookie banner or privacy controls available on our website. You may also adjust cookie settings within your browser.
6. How We Share Personal Information
We do not disclose personal information except where reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide the Services or comply with applicable law.
We may share personal information with:
Shopify
Our store is hosted by Shopify. Shopify processes personal information in order to provide the ecommerce infrastructure, checkout, security, analytics and other services used by our store.
Payment Providers
We may share information with payment providers such as Shopify Payments, PayPal, banks and other payment processing partners in order to process transactions, prevent fraud and issue refunds.
Suppliers, Fulfilment and Delivery Partners
We may share information necessary to fulfil your order with suppliers, fulfilment partners, warehouses, shipping carriers and delivery providers.
Because some of our products may be fulfilled directly by third-party suppliers or fulfilment providers, these parties may receive information such as:
- your name;
- delivery address;
- contact details where required for delivery;
- products ordered; and
- other information reasonably necessary to fulfil and deliver your order.
We only provide information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.
Technology and Service Providers
We may disclose personal information to providers supporting:
- website hosting and ecommerce technology;
- customer service;
- data analytics;
- fraud prevention and security;
- cloud storage;
- email and communications;
- marketing and advertising; and
- IT services.
Professional Advisers and Authorities
We may disclose information to accountants, lawyers, insurers, professional advisers, regulators, tax authorities, courts, law enforcement bodies or other authorities where required or permitted by law.
Business Transfers
If all or part of our business is sold, reorganised, merged or transferred, personal information may be disclosed as part of that transaction where permitted by law.
7. Shopify and Enhanced Services
Our store is powered by Shopify.
Information you provide through our Services may be transmitted to and processed by Shopify in order to provide the ecommerce platform and related services.
Where Shopify Network Intelligence or other enhanced Shopify services are enabled, Shopify may process information relating to your interactions with our store and interactions across participating Shopify merchants in order to provide features such as:
- personalised shopping experiences;
- analytics and reporting;
- fraud prevention;
- relevant advertising; and
- improvements to Shopify services.
Where required, these activities are subject to your privacy and consent choices.
You may learn more about Shopify's processing practices through the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and exercise applicable rights through the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Where available, you may also use the Data Sharing Opt-Out page provided through our store to object to certain uses of your information for targeted advertising or data sharing.
8. International Transfers
Some of our service providers, technology providers, suppliers, fulfilment partners or delivery providers may be located outside the United Kingdom.
As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in or processed in countries outside the UK.
Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism applies. This may include:
- transferring information to a country recognised by the UK as providing an adequate level of data protection;
- using approved contractual protections such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum to recognised Standard Contractual Clauses; or
- relying on another lawful transfer mechanism available under applicable data protection law.
We limit information transferred to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:
- fulfil orders;
- provide customer support;
- comply with tax, accounting and legal obligations;
- resolve disputes;
- prevent fraud; and
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Order and transaction records may be retained for the period required by applicable tax, accounting and company law, which may be several years after a transaction.
Marketing information is retained until you withdraw consent, unsubscribe or object to the relevant processing, unless we have another lawful reason to retain limited information, such as maintaining a suppression list to respect your opt-out request.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable legal requirements.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any customer account credentials and should not share your password with anyone.
11. Children's Information
Our Services are intended for adults purchasing consumer products and are not directed at children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who are not legally able to provide valid consent under applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
12. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on applicable law and your circumstances, you may have the right to:
- Access personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of your personal information.
- Restrict processing of your personal information.
- Object to processing, including certain processing based on legitimate interests and direct marketing.
- Data portability, allowing you to receive certain information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
13. Marketing Preferences

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you important non-marketing communications relating to:
- orders;
- payments;
- delivery;
- refunds;
- returns;
- security; or
- your customer account.
