The website may collect from you all the necessary data to process a transaction or respond to your inquiry efficiently. This includes: your name, surname, address, email address, phone number and bank card details. I’ll note share your data with anybody for any other reasons other than stated above.

- Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping

For example, we will store order information for as many years we think necessary for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses. We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.
Members of my team have access to the information you provide us. For example, both Administrators and Shop Managers can access:
