- Comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements.
Marketing emails are sent only with your consent/opt-in; you can opt out anytime.

Categories of third parties: Payment processors, logistics/shipping companies, IT/service providers, analytics partners.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies help us provide essential functions (e.g., shopping cart, login persistence) and analyze usage for improvements. You can manage cookies via browser settings, but disabling them may limit site functionality. We honor applicable opt-out signals (e.g., Global Privacy Control) where required.
5. Data Security
We use reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards, including SSL/TLS encryption for transmissions, to protect your data. However, no internet transmission or storage method is 100% secure—we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined (e.g., order fulfillment, legal requirements, account maintenance), typically 7 years for tax/accounting records or longer if required by law.
7. Your Rights and Choices (Including Under TDPSA and Similar Laws)
If you are a Texas resident (or in another jurisdiction with similar rights), you may have rights over your personal data, primarily in a consumer (non-business) context:
- Confirm processing and access your data.
- Correct inaccuracies.
