How do we share your personal data?
We may share your personal data with third parties in certain circumstances:
- With our service providers, who help us with various aspects of our business operations, such as payment processing, delivery, hosting, analytics, marketing, or customer support. We only share the personal data that is necessary for them to perform their services and we require them to respect the security and confidentiality of your personal data.

- With law enforcement or regulators, if we are required to do so by law or if we believe that it is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety or those of others.
How do we protect your personal data?
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use,
or disclosure. Some of the measures that we use include:
- Encryption, which means that we use secure protocols and algorithms to encrypt your personal data when it is stored or transmitted.
- Access control, which means that we limit the access to your personal data to only those employees, contractors, or service providers who need it for their legitimate business purposes and who are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Firewalls and antivirus software, which means that we use software and hardware devices to prevent unauthorized access or attacks to our systems and networks.
- Backup and recovery, which means that we regularly backup our data and have procedures in place to restore it in case of a loss or damage.
However, please note that no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal data. You are responsible for keeping your password and account details confidential and for notifying us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access or use of your account.
How long do we keep your personal data?
We only keep your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. The retention period may vary depending on the type of data and the legal obligations that apply to us. When we no longer need your personal data, we will delete it or anonymize it so that it can no longer be linked to you.
What are your rights regarding your personal data?
You have certain rights regarding your personal data under the data protection law, such as:
- The right to access, which means that you can request a copy of the personal data that we hold about you and check that we are processing it lawfully.
- The right to rectification, which means that you can request us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you.
- The right to erasure, which means that you can request us to delete or remove your personal data when there is no good reason for us to continue processing it.
- The right to restrict processing, which means that you can request us to suspend the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you want us to verify its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
- The right to data portability, which means that you can request us to transfer your personal data to another organisation or to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- The right to object, which means that you can object to us processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes or for our legitimate interests, unless we have compelling reasons to override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
- The right to withdraw consent, which means that you can withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
