Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, remember user preferences, maintain shopping cart contents, and enhance overall website performance.

Cookies may also help us understand how visitors interact with different sections of the website, allowing us to improve navigation, product presentation, and customer experience.

Most web browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some website features.

Marketing Communications

From time to time, customers may choose to receive promotional emails containing new arrivals, special offers, seasonal collections, or store updates. Subscription to marketing communications is always voluntary.

If you no longer wish to receive promotional messages, you may unsubscribe using the instructions included within those communications or contact our customer support team for assistance.

Transactional emails relating to completed purchases, shipping notifications, customer support requests, or account-related updates may still be sent when necessary to provide requested services.

Payment Information

To complete purchases securely, payments are processed through trusted payment providers. We currently support PayPal and Venmo as available payment options.

Payment information is handled through secure payment processing systems designed to help protect financial transactions. We do not intentionally store complete payment card details or sensitive financial credentials on our website beyond what is reasonably necessary to complete and document transactions.

Customers are encouraged to review the privacy and security practices of their chosen payment provider for additional information regarding payment processing.

Security

Protecting customer information is a priority. We maintain administrative, technical, and operational safeguards designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or loss of personal information.

Although we work diligently to protect customer data, no online transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers are encouraged to use strong passwords, maintain secure devices, and protect account credentials whenever accessing online services.

Our security practices are reviewed periodically to support the ongoing protection of customer information and website operations.

Data Retention

We retain customer information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide requested services, process transactions, maintain order records, support customer inquiries, improve business operations, and resolve any issues relating to completed purchases.

When information is no longer required for legitimate business purposes, it is removed, anonymized, or otherwise handled using appropriate data management practices whenever reasonably practicable.

Third-party Services

Our website relies on selected third-party service providers to support essential business functions such as payment processing, shipping, website hosting, analytics, email communications, and other operational services.

These providers may receive limited information necessary to perform the services requested on our behalf. They are expected to use that information only for the purposes of providing their respective services.

Our website may also contain links to third-party websites for customer convenience. Once you leave our website, the privacy practices of those external websites are governed by their own policies.

Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for general audiences and are not designed for individuals who are below the age required to independently make online purchases. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through our website.

If we become aware that personal information has been submitted by or collected from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to remove that information from our active records as appropriate.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, business operations, technologies, or information management practices. The most current version will always be published on this page together with the revised "Last Updated" date.

We encourage visitors to review this policy from time to time to remain informed about how information is collected, used, and protected while using our website.
