• Service Providers: Trusted providers like Cloudflare for cybersecurity and hosting services, or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to improve our website. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law, we may disclose your information to comply with legal processes or protect our rights.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to:

• Ensure essential website functionality (e.g., maintaining your shopping cart).

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool (if applicable). Essential cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled.

• SSL Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our website is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
• Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare to enhance website security and protect against cyber threats.

While we strive to protect your data, no online system is 100% secure. Please contact us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect a security issue.
