6. Your Privacy Rights (Washington State)

While Washington does not currently have a comprehensive consumer data privacy law like the CCPA, we strive to honor similar privacy principles, including:

  • Right to know what personal data we collect and why
  • Right to access your personal data upon request
  • Right to request correction or deletion of your data (unless we are legally required to retain it)

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill your orders
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce our agreements

We use SSL encryption, secure servers, and WooCommerce best practices to safeguard your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
