We and our partners use cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and personalize/measure ads.

Choices: Manage cookie preferences via our Privacy Choices page and your browser settings. Where required by law, we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to opt out of “sale or sharing” / targeted advertising on that browser.

5) How We Disclose Information

We disclose personal information to:

Sensitive information: We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes beyond those permitted by applicable law (e.g., security and authentication), and we do not use it to infer characteristics.

6) Advertising & Analytics

We may work with analytics providers and ad partners that use cookies/pixels to help us measure performance and show ads that may be more relevant to you. Under some state laws (e.g., California), these activities can be considered “selling” or “sharing” your personal information or “targeted advertising.”

Opt-outs: Use Privacy Choices or enable GPC in your browser. Opt-outs are browser/device-specific and may reset if you clear cookies.

7) Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Typical examples:

• Orders & tax records: generally kept for 7 years (or longer if legally required).
• Accounts: kept while active; if you close your account, we minimize/limit data retained per legal/business needs.
• Marketing preferences: until you opt out or your account is deleted; we may maintain suppression lists.

8) Security

We implement technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information (e.g., HTTPS, access controls). No method is 100% secure; please use a strong, unique password and keep it confidential.
