We may share personal data, where necessary and proportionate, with selected manufacturing partners, logistics providers, customs brokers, professional advisers, financial institutions, public authorities and relevant commercial partners for the purposes described in this Notice and in accordance with applicable law.

Our website is designed with a minimalistic and privacy-first approach. We currently do not use non-essential marketing, profiling, or analytics cookies. We utilize strictly necessary technical processes to ensure the site renders correctly, such as requesting typography from Google Fonts. Any future integration of analytics or non-essential cookies will be accompanied by an explicit consent mechanism.

8. Data Security & Retention

We adopt appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the commercial purposes we collected it for, or as required to satisfy any legal, accounting, dispute resolution, or statutory reporting obligations.
