Information We Collect

Information we collect falls into one of two categories: "voluntarily provided" information and "automatically collected" information.

  • Voluntarily provided information refers to any information you knowingly and actively provide when using or participating in any of our services or promotions.
  • Automatically collected information refers to any information automatically sent by your devices in the course of accessing our products and services.

This may include your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, pages visited, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other details about your visit.

Additionally, if you encounter certain errors while using the site, we may automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information. You may or may not receive notice of such errors at the moment they occur.

Please be aware that while this information may not be personally identifying by itself, it may be possible to combine it with other data to personally identify individuals.

Security of Your Personal Information

When we collect and process personal information, and while we retain this information, we will protect it using commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.

Although we strive to protect the personal information you provide to us, we advise that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and absolute data security cannot be guaranteed.

You are responsible for selecting and maintaining the security of any passwords and ensuring that your personal information and accounts remain secure and confidential.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary. The duration for which we retain your data depends on the purpose for which we collected it, as outlined in this privacy policy. For example, if you have provided us with personal information to create an account, we may retain it for as long as your account exists in our system. If your personal information is no longer required for the original purpose, we will delete it or anonymize it by removing all identifying details.

However, in some cases, we may retain your personal information to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes.

  • Compliance with legal obligations
  • Legitimate interests

Consent From You

Where you give us consent to collect and use your personal information for a specific purpose, you may withdraw your consent at any time using the facilities we provide. However, this will not affect any use of your information that has already taken place. For instance, you may consent to provide your email address for marketing emails from us.

If you have further inquiries about how to withdraw your consent, feel free to contact us using the details provided in the Contact Us section of this privacy policy.

Performance of a Contract or Transaction

Where you have entered into a contract or transaction with us, or to take preparatory steps before entering into a contract or transaction, we may need to use your personal and payment information to process and deliver your order.
