5. Our lawful bases for using your data
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. Depending on the situation, we may rely on:
- Contract — where processing is necessary to fulfil your order or take steps before entering into a contract with you

These lawful bases are recognised under the UK GDPR framework.

Payments made through Privazz are processed using secure third-party payment providers.
We do not typically store full card payment details on our own systems. Payment information is handled by the relevant payment processor in accordance with its own privacy and security practices.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. The ICO’s guidance expects organisations to explain who data is shared with and why.
8. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK data protection law.
9. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including:
- fulfilling orders and providing customer support
- maintaining business and financial records
- complying with legal, tax, and accounting obligations

The appropriate retention period will depend on the type of data and the reason we hold it.

The ICO sets out these individual rights under the UK GDPR.
