Contract: Where processing is necessary to fulfil your order or provide a service you have requested.
Legal Obligation: Where we need to process information to comply with applicable laws or regulatory requirements.
Consent: Where you have given permission, such as for certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies where consent is required.
Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for legitimate business interests, such as improving our services, preventing fraud, maintaining security, and managing our business, provided those interests do not override your rights and interests.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
For US customers, personal information will be collected and used in accordance with applicable privacy laws and the rights available under those laws.

Some privacy laws define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than an ordinary financial transaction. If our use of personal data falls within such a definition, we will comply with applicable requirements, including providing required notices and opt-out mechanisms where necessary.

Our e-commerce platform, payment providers, delivery partners, hosting providers, analytics providers, and other service providers may process personal data in the United Kingdom or other countries, depending on where they operate.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to ensure that suitable safeguards or other legally permitted transfer mechanisms are in place where required by applicable data protection law.
These safeguards may include recognised adequacy arrangements, approved contractual safeguards, or other legally permitted transfer mechanisms.
If you would like further information about international transfers relevant to your personal data, please contact us at support@trueorganicseeds.com.

Misuse
-
Alteration
-
Unauthorised disclosure

Destruction
We also rely on appropriate security measures provided by the service providers that help us operate our website and process orders.

8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Legal, tax, and accounting obligations
