Legal bases for processing, EEA and UK
If you are in the EEA or UK, we process personal data on these bases: consent (for example, some marketing), contract (for example, to fill an order or answer a request), legitimate interests (for example, site security and improving our services, where your rights do not override ours), and legal obligation.
Sharing of information

• Legal, safety and compliance needs, for example to answer a valid legal request.
• Business transfers, such as a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share certain data for analytics or advertising, which some laws treat as a sale or sharing. See Your rights and choices to learn how to opt out.
Cookies and tracking technologies
We and our partners may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to run the site, understand how it is used and improve our services. You can change your browser settings to refuse some cookies.

Data retention
We keep information as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, to meet legal obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements. How long depends on the type of data and our business needs.
