3. Data We Collect

We collect the following types of personal data when you interact with the Site:

• Email addresses: When you sign up for newsletters, create an account, or request support.
• Cookies and tracking technologies: We use first‑party cookies to enhance your browsing experience and to personalize content. Third‑party cookies from analytics providers help us understand how users navigate the Site.
• Analytics data: We collect anonymised usage statistics (e.g., page views, session duration, referral sources) using tools such as Google Analytics (subject to the user’s consent).

4. How We Protect Your Data

We employ a range of security measures to safeguard your personal data:

• SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using industry‑standard SSL/TLS protocols.
• Secure servers: Our data centres are protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and physical security controls.
• Limited data retention: Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. For example, email addresses are kept for the duration of the subscription or until you request deletion.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on one of the following lawful bases:

• Consent: When you voluntarily provide your email address or opt‑in to newsletters, you are giving explicit consent for us to store and use that data.
• Legitimate interest: We process data that is necessary for the legitimate interests of providing a functional, user‑friendly website and improving our services (e.g., analytics to optimise content).

6. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. We are committed to respecting these rights and will respond to your requests within 30 days.

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the categories of data, the purposes of processing, and the recipients of that data.
• Right to Rectification: If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may ask us to correct it.
• Right to Erasure: Also known as the “right to be forgotten,” you can request deletion of your personal data, provided there is no legal obligation to retain it.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data (e.g., during a dispute about its accuracy).
• Right to Data Portability: You can obtain your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format and transfer it to another controller.
• Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or profiling purposes.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: If you have given us consent to process your data, you can withdraw that consent at any time, and we will cease processing for that purpose.

7. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please send a written request to [email protected]. In your request, include:

• Your full name and contact details.
• A clear statement of the right you are exercising (e.g., “I request deletion of all personal data related to my email address”).
• Any supporting information that can help us verify your identity (e.g., a recent order confirmation, account username).

We will respond to your request within 30 days, unless a longer period is justified (e.g., complex requests, requests that involve third parties). If we need more information to process your request, we will contact you within the same timeframe.

8. Data Retention Policy

We retain personal data for the minimum period necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. Typical retention periods are:
