When the cart function is active, the website may store selected product information in your browser so that your cart can appear across different pages.
This cart data is used to help you prepare a request or reservation. It does not by itself create a confirmed order, payment obligation or completed purchase.
Once you send a request to a manager, the information you provide may be used to contact you and confirm product availability, price, delivery and next steps.

- payment providers, if a payment method is agreed outside the website;
- accounting, legal, tax or compliance advisers where required;
- law enforcement, regulators or public authorities where we are legally required to do so.
Where service providers process personal information for us, they should only use it for the agreed service and not for their own unrelated purposes.
