We may also use your information for internal operational purposes such as fraud prevention, security monitoring, and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, we may share limited data only when necessary to operate our business and complete your transactions.

This includes sharing information with payment processors to securely handle transactions, shipping carriers to deliver your orders, and trusted service providers who assist with tailoring, alterations, IT systems, or operational support. These third parties are contractually required to protect your information and are only permitted to use it for the specific services they provide to us.

We may also disclose personal information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if necessary to protect our legal rights, property, or safety.

We take appropriate administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These safeguards are designed to ensure that your data is handled securely throughout its lifecycle.

Despite our efforts, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage customers to take appropriate precautions when sharing personal information.
