3. Third party data processors
All our website financial transactions are handled through our payment services provider, Stripe. When making a purchase in our store you will need to provide certain information directly to Stripe. We share your email address with Stripe just before you make a payment so they can identify you. We do not collect any credit card information from you.
Our shipping partners are ESG Workstation (DE) and they are responsible for shipping your order to you. In order to ship your order we must share your name, email and shipping address with them.
4. Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server (us) to a web browser (you), and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server (from you to us) each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We use "session" cookies only on the store website. They are integral to providing the online shopping service: the session cookies keep track of you whilst you navigate the store to remember what is in your cart.
If you do not want to use cookies then you are unable to make purchases on the store website. Instead, send us an email with your order.

- to establish, exercise or defend our legal right; and
