    3. International Data Transfer

    Please be aware that by accessing our services from outside the United States, your personal information may be transferred to and processed on servers located in the United States or in other countries where we have operations or service providers. These countries may have different data protection laws than your country of residence. By using our services, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing of your information in these locations. We will implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information in accordance with this policy and applicable laws.

    4. Legal Basis for Data Processing

    The processing of your personal data is based on your consent (e.g., when you register on our website or agree to receive marketing communications), the necessity to fulfill our contractual obligations to you (e.g., when processing your orders), and our legitimate interests (e.g., improving our services and conducting direct marketing), provided that these interests do not override your rights and freedoms. We may also process your data to comply with legal obligations.

    5. Your Rights (Including under the FDBR)

    Depending on your place of residence, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include:

    • Right to Confirm and Access: You have the right to confirm whether we are processing your personal data and to access it.
    • Right to Correct Inaccuracies: You can request the correction of any personal information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
    • Right to Delete Personal Data: Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data.
    • Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing (FDBR): If you are a resident of Florida, you have the right to opt out of the “sale” of your personal data or its “sharing” for behavioral advertising. While we do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration, we may share it with marketing partners to show you personalized advertising.
    • Right to Opt-Out of Automated Decision-Making (FDBR): If you are a resident of Florida, you have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
    • Other Rights: Depending on your location, you may have additional rights, such as the right to data portability, the right to restrict processing, and the right to object to processing.

    To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the means provided in the “Contact Us” section.

    6. Security of Your Data

    We implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, both domestically and internationally.

    7. Data Retention

    We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
