3. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we rely on various legal bases to process your personal data, including: your consent (where required), the performance of a contract (e.g., fulfilling an order), compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests (such as fraud prevention and improving our Services). Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

We may share personal data with service providers and partners who perform services on our behalf, including payment processors, shipping partners, analytics providers, customer support platforms, and marketing services. We require those providers to process data only on our instructions and to maintain appropriate safeguards.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to respond to legal process, to protect rights and property, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice to affected users where required by law).

Personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than the country in which you reside, including the United States. When we transfer personal data across borders we implement appropriate safeguards required by applicable law (e.g., standard contractual clauses) where necessary.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, port data, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, please contact us at the address below. We may require verification of your identity before fulfilling requests.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no security measure is perfect and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
