Our Commitment: At ABC Organic Scents, your privacy matters deeply to us. We are committed to being fully transparent about how we handle your personal data — we will never sell it, and we collect only what is necessary to serve you.

By using our website or purchasing our products, you consent to the practices described in this policy. This policy applies to all visitors, customers, and users of our services.

How We Use Your Data
We use the information we collect solely to provide and improve our services. Specifically, your data is used to:
- Process and fulfill your orders, including shipping and delivery coordination.

Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law.
- Order data is retained for up to 5 years for accounting and legal compliance purposes.

When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it so it can no longer be linked to you.
