  • With our service providers and vendors who perform services on our behalf, including our payment processor, Leopards Courier for order fulfillment and delivery, WhatsApp for order confirmation and customer communication, and hosting and infrastructure providers.
  • With Leopards Courier specifically, we share your name, phone number, delivery address, and order details as necessary to fulfill and deliver your order. Leopards Courier processes this information in accordance with their own privacy practices.
  • With Meta Platforms, Inc. for advertising measurement and targeting, as described in the Cookies, Analytics and Advertising Technologies section below. Meta processes this information in accordance with its own privacy policy.

We do share limited information with advertising partners to measure and target our advertising, as described below, which some laws treat as "sharing" or "selling" for targeted advertising purposes. Payment details are never stored on our servers, they're handled directly by our payment partner.

Cookies, Analytics and Advertising Technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Necessary. To remember the items in your cart and your preferences so that the store works as you expect. These cannot be turned off without breaking core parts of the Services.
  • Analytics. To understand how visitors find and use the store. This includes a first-party cookie we set to recognise repeat visits from the same browser, retained for up to 180 days, and Cloudflare, which delivers and secures this website and provides us with aggregate traffic statistics.
  • Advertising. We use the Meta Pixel and Meta's Conversions API to measure the performance of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram and to show you relevant advertisements. This means we share the following with Meta Platforms, Inc.: the pages and products you view, items you add to your cart, and, when you place an order, the order value, currency and order reference, together with your device's IP address and browser information. We also share your email address, phone number, name, city and postal code in a hashed (irreversible) form, so that Meta can determine whether an advertisement led to a purchase without receiving those details in readable form. We do not share your payment details or your delivery instructions with Meta.

You can limit advertising tracking through your browser's cookie settings, by using an advertising or tracking blocker, or through your advertising preferences on Facebook and Instagram. Limiting these technologies does not prevent you from browsing or ordering from us.
