We currently support orders and shipping to the United States, Canada, and Australia. If you place an order from Canada or Australia, your personal information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence (for example, where our hosting, support operations, or service providers are located). Where required by law, we implement appropriate safeguards designed to protect your information when it is transferred internationally.
11

Data Storage & Retention

The Website is a self-hosted store built with WordPress and powered by WooCommerce. Information collected through the Website is stored on servers that we manage or that are operated on our behalf. We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

We use a combination of technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure, including:
  • Encryption in transit using SSL/TLS to protect data sent between your browser and our Website.
  • Access controls to limit internal access to personal information on a need-to-know basis.
  • Secure authentication and administrative protections for our systems and accounts.
  • Monitoring and logging to help detect suspicious activity and reduce risk.
  • Data minimization practices to limit the personal data we collect and store to what is necessary.
Please note that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and you use the Website at your own risk.

You may update certain account details by logging into your user account on the Website. You may also contact us at support@worela.com to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, subject to applicable law. If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in those emails or by contacting us directly.

If you are a resident of California, you may have certain additional rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request details about the categories of personal information we collect, use and share, and the right to request access to or deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

Children’s Privacy & Do Not Track

The Website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as practicable. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, the Website does not respond to such signals at this time. If clear standards are established in the future, we may update this Policy accordingly.
