We share personal data with trusted third-party service providers—for payment processing, shipping fulfillment, and analytics—under contractual obligations to protect your information. We do not sell or rent your personal information to marketers.

5. International Data Transfers

Your data may be stored or processed outside your home country, including in the US, EU, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand. Where required (e.g., under GDPR or NZ Privacy Act IPP 12), we implement appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.
