These technologies may be used to:
-
Keep the shopping cart and checkout functioning.
-
Remember relevant preferences.
-
Understand how visitors use the Website.

Measure advertising performance.

Support advertising personalization and campaign measurement.

Where required, we will obtain consent before enabling non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
4. How We Share Personal Information
We do not disclose personal information indiscriminately. We may share it with the following categories of recipients when necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.
Shopify and Store Technology Providers
Our store is hosted on Shopify. Shopify may process personal information to provide store hosting, checkout, order management, security, and related services.
Payment Providers
Payment service providers process transactions and help detect or prevent unauthorized payments.
Shipping and Fulfillment Providers
We may share names, delivery addresses, contact details, and order information with carriers and fulfillment partners to deliver purchases and manage delivery issues.
Analytics and Advertising Providers
If enabled, analytics and advertising services may receive device identifiers, online activity, cookie information, or other data to measure Website performance and advertising effectiveness.
Depending on the tools used and applicable law, some of these disclosures may qualify as “sharing” or “selling” personal information under certain privacy laws, even when no money changes hands.
Professional Advisers and Legal Authorities
We may disclose information to legal advisers, accountants, regulators, law enforcement, courts, or other parties where reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect legal rights, investigate fraud, or respond to valid legal processes.
Business Transfers
If our business is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements.
We do not authorize our service providers to use personal information for purposes beyond those permitted by the applicable agreement and law.
5. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
We do not sell personal information for money as a business model.
However, if we use advertising or tracking technologies that meet the legal definition of “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to opt out.
Where required, we will provide an appropriate opt-out method and honor applicable browser-based privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), to the extent required by law.
You can submit a privacy request using the contact information in Section 11. If our Website uses a separate privacy-preference or opt-out link, that link should also be made available in the Website footer.
Our actual practices may depend on whether advertising platforms or tracking pixels are installed and how they are configured.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including order fulfillment, customer service, accounting, tax compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal obligations.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we will delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law, subject to lawful retention requirements and legitimate business needs.
Deleting information from one system may not immediately remove it from all backups or records maintained by service providers.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
However, no website, online transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect information and address suspected security incidents in accordance with applicable law.
8. International Data Transfers
Our service providers may process or store personal information in countries other than the country in which you reside.
Those countries may have data-protection laws that differ from the laws in your location.
Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers and provide information about those safeguards upon request where legally required.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and whether the relevant law applies to our business, you may have some or all of the following rights:
-
Access: Request information about the personal information we hold about you.
-
Deletion: Request deletion of certain personal information.
-
Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.

Portability: Request a copy of certain information in a portable format.
-
Opt-out: Opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling activities where applicable.
-
Withdraw consent: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
-
Marketing preferences: Unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time.
Some rights are subject to exceptions. For example, we may need to retain certain information to complete a transaction, meet legal obligations, prevent fraud, or establish or defend legal claims.
California Residents
If applicable California privacy law covers our business and your information, you may have additional rights, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared; request deletion or correction; opt out of certain sales or sharing; and receive equal service and pricing for exercising your rights, subject to lawful exceptions.
Where required, we will provide the appropriate methods for submitting requests and honor applicable opt-out signals.
California privacy laws apply only when their legal requirements are met; this notice does not imply that every provision necessarily applies to ALPENAR.
European Economic Area and United Kingdom Residents
If applicable data-protection law covers our processing of your information, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, as well as data portability and the right to withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis.
You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
Where required, we will identify the relevant legal basis for processing and provide additional information about international transfers and applicable safeguards.
10. Children's Privacy
Our Website is intended for a general shopping audience and is not directed at children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
Where a higher age threshold or additional requirements apply under local law, we will comply with those requirements.

12. Marketing Communications
If you subscribe to our promotional emails, we may send product updates, special offers, and brand news as permitted by law.
You can unsubscribe using the link in our marketing emails. Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional communications, such as order confirmations, shipping updates, or important service notices.
Where required, we will obtain consent before sending marketing communications or using information for certain marketing purposes.
13. Third-Party Websites
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information directly to them.
