- Retail shop orders: the details needed to deliver and invoice an order.

- To keep the financial and tax records the law requires.
- To keep the site secure and prevent spam and fraud.
- To show our work. Where a person is identifiable in a photograph, we use it with their agreement.
We do not sell your personal data and we do not send marketing email unless you ask for it.
5. How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not become orders: 1 year.

After that we delete or anonymise the data.
6. Your rights
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 you can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, have it corrected, have it deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, receive a copy in a portable format, and withdraw any consent you gave.

8. Children
