What personal data we collect

Order Entry

The process of purchasing products from us requires that you provide some personal information, since we need to know some things about you in order to process your payment and ship your product to you. This includes your billing and shipping addresses, first and last name, your email address, your phone number, the products and shipping options you selected, how much you paid, the date of your order, and any additional instructions you provided with your order.

Contact form

Our contact form requires a user to enter an email address, a first name, and a message.  This information is only used to create an email which is sent to our administrator. We do not retain this information.

Why we need the data we collect

Contractual necessity

We need the data we ask from you to fulfill the contract we made with you when you gave us money for our products. This contract includes shipment of your product to the location you have identified, and contacting you for refund or alternate product arrangements should we be unable to fulfil your order.

Compliance with legal obligations

Some of our processing of the data we collect from you is required for legal reasons, including tax calculations where applicable.

Legitimate interests

There are behaviors you expect of legitimate businesses, such as confirmation of your order and status update emails. Without the data we collect, it would be impossible for us to provide the good service you expect.
