While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your devices secure.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your data only with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as:

  • Shipping carriers (e.g., postal services or couriers) to deliver your orders.
  • Payment processors to handle transactions securely.

These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the specific services they provide.
