This information is solely used for order fulfillment, customer support, and, if opted in, direct communications.
Payment Information: Our payment processing is handled by secure third-party gateways. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers. We receive only transaction confirmations necessary for order management.
Usage Data: We automatically collect non-personal data related to your interaction with our website, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent. This helps us understand website traffic, improve navigation, and enhance our service offerings.

These parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the specified purpose. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
