1. The Information We Collect
To ensure our operations run in a shipshape and Bristol fashion, we collect only the necessary information. The long and short of it is, we gather data in the following ways:
-
Information You Provide Directly: When you place an order or create an account, you voluntarily provide us with personal details, including your name, shipping address, billing address, and email address.
-
Payment Information: To process your order, your payment details are required. Rest assured, this information is handled directly by our secure, third-party payment processors. We do not store your full credit card number on our servers.
-
Information Collected Automatically: As you browse our site, we may automatically collect certain technical data. Think of a cookie as a discreet ticket stub that helps our website remember you and your preferences (such as the lovely items you've placed in your cart). This includes your IP address, browser type, and browsing behavior.

-
Shipping Carriers: To deliver your order.
-
Payment Processors: To securely process your payment.
-
Legal Obligations: If required by law, we may disclose information in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
These partners are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide these services to us.
