This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit the Site, create an account, or place an order.
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information about your device and usage — such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visit — using cookies and similar technologies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings or through the cookie consent banner on the Site. If you disable certain cookies, some parts of the Site — such as logging into your account or completing a purchase — may not function properly.

4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Payment processor. We use Square to process payments. When you make a purchase, your payment information is collected and processed directly by Square in accordance with Square’s own privacy policy. We do not have access to your full card details.
- Shipping carriers. We share the name, address, and contact information necessary to ship your order with the carriers we use to deliver products to you.

- Business transfers. We may share information in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our business.
5. Data Retention
We retain account and order information for as long as your account remains active and as needed to comply with our legal and accounting obligations (such as tax and warranty records). Contact form submissions are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, unless a longer period is required by law.
6. Your Choices
You may review, update, or delete your account information by logging into your account on the Site. You may also contact us to request that we delete personal information you have submitted, and we will do so unless we have a legitimate business or legal reason to retain it (for example, order records needed for tax or warranty purposes).
7. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information.
8. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including our social media pages, manufacturer sites, and our payment processor. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect the information we collect, including relying on Square’s secure payment infrastructure for processing transactions. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.
