As part of the order process, we gather essential customer data such as your name, shipping/billing address, email address, and phone number. This information is solely for necessary communication purposes. We refrain from giving or selling your data to any third party, except for the shipping company tasked with delivering your order. We share only your shipping address and phone number with the shipping company to guarantee successful delivery. The information we collect from you is used exclusively to process and ship your order. Your email address is used to provide order confirmation and tracking details, while your phone number is used for any issues related to order fulfillment or delivery. Your credit card information is only used to confirm whether the billing address is the same as the shipping address.
We gather and utilize personal information that is necessary to fulfill our legal obligations and to manage our business while providing the requested services.
