4. Online Store
Our website links to a store hosted on Shopify. If you make a purchase, information such as your contact details, shipping address, order details, and payment information may be processed to fulfill your order and provide customer support.
Please review the privacy notice available in the store and the applicable policies of Shopify and the payment providers used at checkout.

Our website and embedded third-party services may use cookies and similar technologies to support functionality, maintain preferences, and protect online transactions. These services may collect technical information when you load or interact with their content.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect website features or donation and checkout functionality.
Third-party services may apply their own cookie settings and privacy controls.
6. How We Share Information
We may share personal information:
- With service providers supporting website hosting, communications, donation processing, payment processing, event administration, and order fulfillment.
- With professional advisers when necessary for accounting, legal, or administrative purposes.
- When required by law, court order, or other valid legal process.
