5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and analyze Site traffic.
5.1 Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential Cookies — Required for the Site to function, including cart management, login sessions, and checkout processing. These cannot be disabled without affecting Site functionality.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies — Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site (e.g., Google Analytics). Data collected is aggregated and anonymized where possible.

6. Payment Information and Security
All payment transactions on our Site are processed by PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment processors. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your full credit card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment credentials. Payment data is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS technology.
While we implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information — including encryption, access controls, and secure server infrastructure — no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable Georgia and federal law.

You may request deletion of your account and personal data by contacting us at [your contact email]. We will process your request within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.
7.4 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-standard interpretation of how to do so. We continue to monitor developments in this area.
7.5 Georgia Residents
If you are a resident of Georgia, you have rights under applicable Georgia consumer protection and privacy laws. While Georgia has not enacted a comprehensive consumer privacy statute equivalent to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), we are committed to transparency and will respond to reasonable requests to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Contact us at [your contact email] with any such requests.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [your contact email].
