  2. Sharing Personal Information We share personal information with service providers who help us deliver our services and meet our contractual obligations. For example, our store is powered by Shopify, which provides the e‑commerce infrastructure and analytics. We may share personal information to comply with laws, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights.

  3. Behavioural Advertising We use personal information to deliver targeted marketing. This may include sharing purchase and browsing data with advertising partners or using cookies and similar technologies. You can opt out of targeted advertising through the settings offered by major advertising platforms or by adjusting cookie preferences in your browser.
