We use cookies, pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage, and similar technologies to make the Site work, remember your preferences, improve performance, analyze traffic, prevent fraud, personalize content, and support advertising. Some cookies are essential for checkout, security, cart functionality, and account access. Other cookies help us understand Site usage or provide relevant advertising.
You may manage cookies through your browser settings, our cookie banner or preference tools where available, and the settings provided by advertising platforms. If you disable certain cookies, some parts of the Site may not function correctly. You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy and manage Google ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com.

We may use analytics and advertising services, including Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta/Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Bing/Microsoft Advertising, and similar platforms, to understand how visitors use the Site, measure advertising effectiveness, and show relevant ads. These partners may collect or receive information from our Site and elsewhere on the internet through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, under some U.S. state privacy laws, sharing identifiers, internet activity, or advertising data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioural advertising may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising.” Where applicable, you may opt out of such sale, sharing, or targeted advertising by using available cookie preference tools or by contacting us at support@lagomel.com.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
08. International Data Transfers
Because we operate internationally and use global service providers, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including Hong Kong, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Australia, and other countries where our service providers, payment processors, logistics partners, advertising partners, or technical infrastructure operate.
Where required by applicable law, we take appropriate steps to protect international transfers, which may include contractual safeguards, data processing agreements, standard contractual clauses, vendor due diligence, and technical and organizational security measures.
09. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. These measures may include access controls, secure checkout, encryption in transit, vendor security review, monitoring, and internal procedures. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for using a secure network when accessing the Site.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, know, confirm, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of your personal information.

We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that would require a right to limit unless disclosed otherwise.
Australian Users
Australian users may request access to personal information we hold about them and may request correction of inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading information. If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles, you may contact us first so we can investigate and respond. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Canadian users may have rights under PIPEDA and, where applicable, substantially similar provincial privacy laws. Subject to legal and contractual restrictions, you may request access to personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, withdraw consent for certain collection, use, or disclosure of personal information, and challenge our compliance with applicable privacy obligations.
If you have a privacy concern, please contact us first so we can review and respond. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the applicable provincial privacy regulator.

You may also authorize another person to submit a request on your behalf where permitted by law. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
12. Marketing Communications
If you subscribe to marketing emails or messages, we may send you product updates, offers, and other promotional communications. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send non-promotional service messages, such as order confirmations, shipping updates, account notices, policy updates, or customer support responses.
13. Do Not Track and Opt-Out Preference Signals
Some browsers and devices provide “Do Not Track” or privacy preference signals. Because there is no universally adopted standard for Do Not Track, the Site may not respond to all DNT signals. Where required by applicable law, we will treat recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, in accordance with applicable legal requirements and our available technical capabilities.
14. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not intended for children under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@lagomel.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete the information where required by law.
15. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, apps, payment services, social media platforms, or other services that we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.
16. User-Generated Content and Reviews
If you submit a product review, testimonial, photo, video, or other user-generated content, that content may be displayed publicly on the Site or in marketing materials, subject to applicable law and the terms of the relevant feature.
