6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Site is at your own risk.

Our security measures include:

  • SSL encryption for data transmission
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
  • Access controls and authentication procedures
  • Secure data storage with encryption at rest
  • Regular staff training on data protection
  • Incident response and breach notification procedures

We regularly review and update our security practices to ensure they align with industry standards and best practices. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by applicable law.

7. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Our retention periods are based on:

  • Account Information: Retained while your account is active and for 3 years after account closure
  • Order Information: Retained for 7 years for tax and accounting purposes
  • Marketing Data: Retained until you unsubscribe or for 3 years after last interaction
