Additionally, we collect information automatically when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and browsing behavior. This information helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve our services.

We also use your information to provide updates, quotes, and general sales communications necessary to fulfill your orders or answer your questions.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information with trusted partners who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or providing services to you, as long as those parties agree to keep your information confidential.

We only transmit information over secure networks for payment processors. Additionally, we may share information with our network of carriers and government Customs agencies to fulfill orders and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

We may also disclose your information when required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety, and that of others.

4. Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention
