We may give your name and address to a third party for the purpose of delivering your order (e.g., the delivery agent or supplier).
We may store details related to your current order on our site but cannot retrieve it directly for security reasons. By logging into your account on the site, you can view your order details and purchase history or upcoming purchases. You can also manage your address details.

We may need to share information with a third party for the purpose of protecting against fraud and reducing credit risks. In the event our company or part of it is sold, we may need to transfer our databases, including your personal information.

2. Cookies
Accepting cookies is not a requirement to visit the site. However, we note that you will not be able to use the "cart" functions on the site and request any item without enabling cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow our server to identify your computer as a unique user when you visit certain pages of the site. Your browser stores these files on your hard disk. Cookies can be used to detect the IP address, saving you time when you're on the site or want to visit it. We use cookies to ensure your convenience when browsing the site (e.g., remembering your identity when you want to modify your shopping cart without needing to re-enter your email address), and not to collect other information about you or use it (e.g., for targeted marketing purposes). You can set your browser not to accept cookies, but this will limit your use of the site. Please ensure that our use of cookies does not contain any personal or private information, nor does it carry viruses. This site uses Google Analytics, a service provided by Google to analyze web pages. To analyze how users use the site, Google Analytics uses cookies placed on your computer. Google will transmit information generated by these cookies about your use of the site (including your IP address) to servers in the United States, where it will be stored. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the site, prepare reports for site operators on activity, and provide other services related to site activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law, or if third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data it holds.

3. Security
We use appropriate security technologies and procedures to prevent unauthorized or illegal access to your information, or its loss or destruction. When we collect data through the site, we store your personal information on a secure electronic server. We use firewall systems on our servers. When we collect payment card details online, we protect them using encryption, such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It is difficult for any intruder to decrypt your information, but we cannot guarantee 100% protection. We strongly advise you not to send full credit card or debit card details when communicating with us electronically and without encryption. We apply physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards directly to the process of collecting, storing, and disclosing your information. Our security procedures sometimes require us to request proof of identity before disclosing your personal information. You are responsible for keeping your password and computer safe from unauthorized use.
4. Customer Rights
If you are concerned about your data, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you or that you have previously transferred to us. You have the right to request that we correct any errors in your personal data, and this will be done free of charge. You also have the right to request that we stop using your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time.
