We may also process your information to comply with legal obligations or where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided that such interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted employees, contractors, and service providers who assist us in delivering our services. This may include payment processors, website hosting providers, and delivery partners.

In certain circumstances, we may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests. All third parties who have access to your information are required to handle it securely and in accordance with confidentiality obligations.

We take payment security seriously and ensure that all online transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment gateways.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures include secure servers, encryption technologies, and restricted access to sensitive data.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. This includes providing services, processing transactions, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.
