Other Disclosures

The primary legal basis is often "contractual necessity." This allows for the processing of user data to fulfill the obligations of providing website services, such as managing contact forms, storing customer information, and facilitating transactions. In certain situations, depending on "legitimate interest" as a legal basis for data processing, like analyzing website usage to enhance user experience, although this must be weighed against the privacy interests of the user.

We will not sell or share you data with other third parties , except in the following cases:

If the law requires it
If it is required for any legal proceeding

How Long We Store Personal Data

The Site will maintain your information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

How We Protect Your Personal Data

In order to protect your security a variety of security measures are implemented by the Service Provider. These include automatic HTTPS encryption on the Site, data encryption at rest and in transit, firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and regular security monitoring.

Also, PCI DSS compliance for payment information, and a "security by design" approach to development, ensuring all critical functions like user authentication and payment processing are protected with high-level encryption standards like TLS v1.2 or higher.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore, we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer as we do not fall within the categories of controllers and processors required to appoint a Data Protection Officer.
