I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including: Service Provision: As needed to provide my services, such as using your information to fulfill your order, settle delivery disputes, or provide customer support.

Compliance with Laws: To comply with a legal obligation or court order, or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law.

Service Providers: I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, specifically my production and delivery partners. I will share your shipping address and order details with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to fulfill and deliver your order.

Business Transfers: If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, but only to the extent permitted by law.

4. Data Retention

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for a time period of 4 years to ensure compliance with tax and business auditing standards.

5. Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU and parts of the US (like California), you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in limited cases:

Access: You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
