5. How We Share Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to third parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business and provide our services.

These parties may include:

• Respond to lawful requests from governmental authorities
• Detect, investigate, or prevent fraud or security incidents
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of Lakoware, our customers, or others
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

Business Transfers

If Lakoware is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, reorganization, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

6. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Lakoware does not intend to sell customers’ personal information for monetary consideration in the ordinary course of operating our ecommerce business.

However, certain privacy laws may define “sale” or “sharing” broadly and may treat certain advertising, analytics, or technology activities as a sale or sharing even when money is not exchanged.

If Lakoware engages in activities that constitute a sale or sharing of personal information under an applicable law, we will provide the notices and opt-out mechanisms required by that law.

7. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

These rights may include:

• The right to know or access personal information we collect about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information
• The right to request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions
• The right to obtain a copy of certain personal information
• The right to opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information
• The right to opt out of certain targeted or interest-based advertising
• The right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable
• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights
• Other rights provided by applicable state or federal law

Not every right is available to every individual, and certain legal exceptions may apply.

For example, we may need to retain certain information to complete transactions, prevent fraud, comply with legal requirements, maintain accounting records, resolve disputes, or otherwise fulfill legitimate business or legal obligations.

California law provides qualifying consumers with specific rights, including rights relating to access, deletion, correction, opting out of certain sales/sharing, limiting certain uses, and nondiscrimination.

Texas law likewise provides certain qualifying consumers with privacy rights and requires covered businesses to provide an accessible privacy notice describing relevant data practices and consumer rights.

Please include enough information for us to understand and process your request.

For certain requests, we may need to verify your identity before completing the request. We will use information provided for verification only as reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect personal information from unauthorized disclosure.

Where required by applicable law, you may have the right to appeal our decision regarding your privacy request. You may contact us using the information above to submit an appeal.

If you subscribe to Lakoware’s marketing communications, we may send you information about products, promotions, special offers, and other updates.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication.

Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue to send non-promotional communications necessary to complete or manage your transactions, such as order confirmations, shipping notifications, security notices, account notices, and responses to customer-service requests.

10. Customer Accounts

If you create an account with Lakoware, we may collect information necessary to establish and maintain your account.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for notifying us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

You may request assistance with your account by contacting us.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, services, social media platforms, payment services, or other websites that are not controlled by Lakoware.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.

We also encourage customers to use strong passwords, protect their account credentials, and avoid sending sensitive information through unsecured communications.

The FTC recommends that businesses assess what personal information they hold, limit collection and retention to what is needed, protect information appropriately, and maintain plans for responding to security incidents.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• Providing products and services
• Maintaining customer and transaction records
• Providing customer support
• Processing returns and refunds
• Preventing fraud and abuse
• Resolving disputes
• Complying with tax, accounting, legal, and regulatory requirements
• Enforcing our agreements
• Protecting our legitimate business interests

The length of time we retain information varies depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

14. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at support@lakoware.shop.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) imposes additional requirements on certain websites and online services directed toward children or that knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

15. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to such signals in every circumstance.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will process it in accordance with applicable law.

16. Sensitive Personal Information

We generally do not request sensitive personal information through our website.

If sensitive information is voluntarily provided to us, we will handle it in accordance with applicable law and only use or disclose it as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was provided or as otherwise permitted by law.

17. International Visitors

Lakoware is a U.S.-based ecommerce business.

If you access our website from outside the United States, your personal information may be processed, stored, or transferred to the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

Privacy protections in those locations may differ from those in your country of residence.

If laws in your jurisdiction provide additional privacy rights, those rights may apply where legally required.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, website, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
