Why we collect it
We collect your information for clear and limited reasons. We use it to accept and deliver your orders, to confirm that your payment has reached us, to handle warranty and repair claims, and to answer the questions you send to our customer support.
We also use a small amount of information to keep the store secure and to prevent fraud, for example by checking that an order and its payment match. We do not use your information for purposes you would not expect, and we do not sell it to anyone.

|---|---|---|

| Payment reference | To confirm that your payment reached us | As long as needed to match the payment, then no longer kept |
| Device and browser information | To keep the site working, secure and fast | A short period, in aggregated form |
| Support and warranty messages | To answer you and to keep a record of what was agreed | 6 months after the matter is closed |
Who we share it with
We share your information only with the partners who make your order possible. These are the delivery partners who bring your parcel to you, and the mobile money and payment providers who process your payment.
Beyond these partners we do not share your personal information with anyone else. We do not sell, rent or trade your data. We may share information if the law requires it or to protect our customers, but we will only do so where we are obliged to.
Cookies
Cookies are small files the site stores in your browser. We use them to keep your cart, to remember your language and settings, and to keep you signed in while you shop.
We also use basic analytics to understand which pages are useful and which are not, so that we can improve the store. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the site, such as your cart and your account, may not work properly without them.

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you and we will show you.

How we keep data safe
We limit access to your information to the members of our team who need it to serve you, and we keep our systems and devices protected. We ask our delivery and payment partners to protect your information as well.
No system is perfectly secure, so we also ask you to play your part: keep your account password private, and never send your mobile money PIN to anyone.
Children
Our store is meant for adults who are able to place an order and pay for it. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy and how to contact us
We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last updated, and the version published when you use the store is the one that applies.
