4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted third parties who help us operate our business:

  • Shopify Inc. — our e-commerce platform, which hosts our store and processes orders. Shopify is subject to its own privacy policy.
  • Payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal) — to securely handle transactions. Payment data is transmitted directly to them and never stored on our servers.
  • Shipping and logistics partners — to deliver your orders. We share only the name and address required for delivery.
  • Email marketing platforms (e.g. Klaviyo) — to send newsletters and transactional emails, only to customers who have opted in.
  • Analytics providers (e.g. Google Analytics) — to understand how our site is used. Data is anonymised where possible.
  • Legal authorities — when required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.

All third parties are required to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify.

5. International Transfers

Some of our third-party providers may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission — to protect your data to the same standard as within the EEA.

10. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
