This Privacy Policy outlines how we gather, use, and share your personal details when you visit or make a purchase on our website.
Information We Collect
When you access our site, certain information about your device is automatically collected. This includes your web browser, IP address, time zone, and any cookies installed. As you browse, we also collect information about the pages or products you view, the websites or search terms that directed you here, and how you engage with the site. We call this “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using:
Cookies: Small data files stored on your device, often with a unique identifier. You can learn more about cookies or how to disable them through your browser settings.
Log Files: These record actions on the site, capturing details such as IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider, referring/exit pages, and timestamps.
Web Beacons, Tags, and Pixels: Electronic files that help track your interactions with the site.
When you place or attempt to place an order, we also collect details like your name, billing/shipping addresses, payment information (including credit card numbers), email, and phone number. We call this “Order Information.”
In this policy, “Personal Information” refers to both Device Information and Order Information.
How We Use Personal Information
We use Order Information to fulfill purchases—this includes processing payments, arranging delivery, and sending invoices or confirmations. We also use it to:

Screen for possible risk or fraud
Provide information or marketing related to our products, when it matches your preferences
Device Information helps us identify fraud risks (particularly your IP address) and optimize our website. This includes generating analytics on how visitors use the site and measuring the effectiveness of our advertising.
