5. Shopify

Our online store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify provides ecommerce infrastructure that enables us to offer products and services online.

As part of providing these services, Shopify may process certain personal information.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and as necessary to comply with applicable legal, accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, and contractual obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the category of data and the reason it is processed.

When information is no longer required, it may be deleted, anonymised, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.

14. Data Security

We use reasonable organisational and technical measures intended to protect personal information.

However, no method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Customers should also take appropriate steps to protect passwords, devices, and account credentials.
