When you place an order or create an account, we collect details such as your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, and login credentials. We also process payment-related information (for example, transaction ID, payment method, and delivery details).

We never store your full credit-card or banking data on our servers—payments are securely processed through trusted third-party providers.

From time to time, we may collect or receive images, videos, or audio recordings that identify you—for example, if you share a photo of our products on social media, participate in a testimonial, or speak with customer support on a recorded line.
