  • IP addresses and technical logs

This information is used to operate the Store, complete purchases, provide downloads, maintain accounts, troubleshoot issues, and support security and business operations.

10. International Data Transfers

Because the Store serves customers worldwide and uses service providers that may operate in different countries, personal information may be processed in the United States and other countries that may have different data-protection rules than your country.

Where required, we will use an appropriate legal mechanism for international transfers.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide services, maintain business and tax records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.

Retention periods vary by data type.

We may retain:

  • Order and transaction records for the period required by tax, accounting, and legal obligations
  • Newsletter information until you unsubscribe, plus a suppression record where necessary to honor your unsubscribe request

We may retain certain information longer where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

12. Security

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

No online system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for using a strong, unique password and protecting your account credentials.

If you believe your account or personal information has been compromised, contact us promptly at support@khassid.com.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

If you are in a jurisdiction with a right to complain to a data-protection authority, you may contact the appropriate authority in your country or region.

14. United States State Privacy Rights

Some U.S. states provide additional privacy rights.

Whether a particular state privacy law applies to the Store depends on factors such as business size, revenue, location, and the amount or type of personal information processed.

Where an applicable state law grants you additional rights, we will honor those rights as required.

15. Children’s Privacy

The Store is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in violation of applicable law.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact support@khassid.com.

We will take appropriate steps to investigate and delete information where required.

16. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar signals.

Because there is no consistent industry standard for all such signals, the Store may not respond to every browser signal.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will process it as required for covered activities.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

The updated version will be posted on the Store with a revised Last updated date.

If we make a material change, we may provide additional notice where required or appropriate.
