3. Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us operate our business and fulfill your orders. For example:

Each third-party provider has its own privacy policy that governs how your data is handled. We recommend reviewing those policies when relevant.

We do not sell your personal information, and we only share data with trusted services essential to our store.

We may also disclose your information to comply with laws and regulations, respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request, or protect our rights.
