1. Personal Information We Collect
We collect information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you. This includes:
- Contact Details: Name, shipping address, billing address, phone number, and email address.

Marketing Data: If you opt-in to our Klaviyo newsletter, we collect your email and "usage data" (such as open rates) to personalize your experience.
2. How We Collect Your Data
- Directly From You: When you create an account, purchase kefir, or contact support.
- Automatically: Through cookies and tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to understand site performance and marketing effectiveness.
- From Partners: We use Upromote for affiliate tracking. If you arrive via an affiliate link, a cookie tracks the referral source to credit our partners.

- Fulfillment: To process payments, manage subscriptions, and ship orders.

7. Data Retention & Security
We retain your data as long as your account or subscription is active or as required by law. While we use industry-standard measures (like encrypted tokens) to protect your data, no system is 100% secure. We encourage you to keep your account credentials private.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under the age of majority.

Your information may be stored and processed outside of your home country. When transferring data from the EEA or UK, we rely on recognized legal mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses.
