We collect personal data in two ways:
Name, email address, shipping address, and payment details when you place an order. Email address when you subscribe to our newsletter. Message content when you use our contact form.
Technical data when you visit the website: browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, IP address, and time of access. This is logged by our server and the third-party services described in Section 6.

Order data is retained as long as required by applicable tax and commercial law. Contact form data is deleted once your inquiry is resolved. If you request deletion or revoke consent, your data will be erased unless a legal retention obligation applies.
