4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies Policy
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our platform, which helps us provide you with a faster, more personalized experience when you shop for kitchen tools. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.
We use different categories of cookies for different purposes:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to enable core functionality of our website, such as keeping your cart active, remembering your logged-in status, and processing secure checkout. You cannot turn off these cookies through our website settings, as the site will not operate properly without them.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous statistical data about how users interact with our website, helping us understand which pages are most popular, where users encounter navigation issues, and how we can improve overall site performance. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and completely anonymized.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies remember your personal preferences, such as your chosen currency, saved shipping addresses, and preferred product view settings, so you do not need to re-enter these details every time you return to our site.
- Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be placed by our trusted advertising partners to build a profile of your browsing interests, so we can display relevant product ads for silicone kitchen gadgets to you when you visit other third-party websites. You can opt out of targeted advertising cookies at any time through your browser privacy settings.
You can modify your browser settings to block or alert you when cookies are being sent, but please note that disabling certain cookies may limit your access to some full features of our e-commerce website.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We will never sell, rent, or lease your personal identifiable information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your explicit written consent. We only share your necessary personal data with trusted third-party service providers who are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and comply with all applicable data protection laws, for the following limited purposes:
- Logistics and Shipping Partners: We share your shipping name, delivery address, and contact phone number with our reputable courier and logistics partners, solely for the purpose of arranging the fast 7-day delivery of your ordered kitchen gadgets to your doorstep. All our logistics providers are required to protect your personal data in line with industry security standards.
- Payment Processing Vendors: We work with globally recognized, PCI DSS compliant payment service providers to process all your credit card, debit card, and online payment transactions. We never store your full sensitive payment card details on our own servers; our payment vendors handle all payment data with end-to-end encryption to eliminate unauthorized access risks.
- Trusted Service Providers: We may share limited necessary data with our website hosting providers, IT security maintenance partners, email delivery service vendors, and cloud storage service providers, all of whom operate on our behalf to support the normal operation of our e-commerce platform, and are strictly prohibited from using your personal information for any purposes outside of the services they provide to us.
- Legal Authorized Disclosures: We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by applicable law, valid government regulatory request, court order, or legal proceeding. We may also disclose your data when it is necessary to protect our legal rights, the safety of our website users, our business assets, or to investigate and prevent illegal activities, suspected fraud, and security threats.
- Business Transfer Scenarios: In the event of a merger, acquisition, full or partial sale of our business assets, or other corporate restructuring process, your personal information may be transferred to the succeeding business entity as part of the transferred assets. We will provide you with advance notice before your personal data is transferred to the new entity and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
6. International Data Transfers
As an e-commerce business based in Singapore, with customers located across different regions around the world, some of your personal information may be transferred to, processed, and stored in jurisdictions outside of Singapore, where our third-party service providers operate their servers and data processing facilities. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that are different from the regulations in your country of residence.
When we transfer your personal data across international borders, we will take all legally required appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information receives the same level of protection that it is guaranteed under this Privacy Policy and your local data protection laws. These safeguards include using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant regulatory authorities, working with vendors that are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or other equivalent data protection certification programs, and conducting regular audits of our data processing partners to verify their data security compliance. If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to receive details of the specific safeguards we have implemented for these cross-border data transfers by contacting us using our listed contact information.
7. Data Retention Period
We will not keep your personal identifiable information for any longer than it is strictly necessary to fulfill the exact purposes for which we originally collected the data. The standard retention timelines for different categories of personal information are as follows:
- For order-related transaction data, we retain the information for 7 years after your order is completed, to comply with Singaporean tax and commercial accounting legal requirements, resolve any potential post-sales disputes, and honor product warranty claims for your purchased kitchen tools.
- For user account data, we retain your personal account information for as long as you keep your account active on our website. If you submit a request to delete your user account, we will permanently erase all your personal account data within 14 business days, except for the limited data we are required to retain to comply with mandatory legal and regulatory obligations.
- For marketing communication contact data (such as your email address for newsletter sending), we will keep this data in our active marketing list only for as long as you remain opted in to receive our marketing messages. If you opt out of marketing communications, we will remove your email from our marketing distribution list immediately, and only keep a minimal record of your email to honor your opt-out request in the future.
At the end of the applicable retention period, we will securely anonymize or permanently delete all of your personal information in compliance with our data destruction security protocols.
8. Data Security Measures
We implement strict industry-standard technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, destruction, or misuse. Our security practices include the following protections:
- All data transmission between your browser and our website is protected by 256-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption, ensuring that all your personal and payment data is encrypted when traveling over the public internet.
- Our web servers and personal data storage systems are hosted in ISO 27001 certified secure data centers, with multi-factor access authentication, continuous security monitoring, and regular vulnerability scanning to block potential cyber threats.
- We conduct regular staff data privacy training for all our team members who have access to user personal data, and all employees are bound by strict non-disclosure agreements that prohibit unauthorized use or distribution of user personal information.
- We perform periodic third-party security audits to evaluate and upgrade our data protection systems, making sure our security infrastructure keeps pace with the latest industry cyber security standards.
While we spare no effort to protect your personal data, please note that no data transmission method over the internet, or electronic storage method is 100% invulnerable. We cannot guarantee absolute, unbreakable security of your information, but we will immediately notify you and relevant regulatory authorities in the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a high risk to your rights and freedoms, in full compliance with applicable legal data breach notification requirements.
