5. Payment & third-party services
If you make purchases on our Website, payment may be processed through third-party gateways (e.g., credit card processors, PayPal, etc.). Those providers have their own privacy policies — we recommend you review them. We do not store your full payment card details unless explicitly stated.
We may also integrate third-party services (analytics tools, advertising networks, social media plugins) which may collect data about your visits to our Website — see section 8 for cookies & tracking.

We will retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by law. Once no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

We implement appropriate organisational, technical and physical security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Examples: secure servers, encryption (where appropriate), access controls.
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.
