5. Lawful bases for processing
Where data-protection law requires a stated basis, we rely on the following:
Consent — for optional analytics and marketing cookies, and for email newsletters. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Contract or pre-contract steps — to prepare an order request, quote shipping or handle a return you have asked about.
Legitimate interests — to answer enquiries, keep the website secure, prevent abuse and improve our catalog, balanced against your rights and expectations.
Legal obligation — to keep records where retail, tax or consumer law requires it.
6. Sharing and service providers
We share personal information only with providers that help us run the store, and only as far
as needed for their task:
Hosting and email providers — to run this website and receive and reply to enquiries.
Payment processors — if you complete a purchase, payment is handled on the provider's secure page under its own privacy notice.
Shipping carriers — name, delivery address and order contents, so a parcel can be delivered.
Analytics providers — only if you accepted analytics cookies.
