Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on your device that help websites operate and remember information about your visit.
We may use different categories of cookies, including:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot generally be disabled through our cookie-management tools. They may be used for functions such as shopping-cart functionality, checkout, security and session management.
Functional cookies
These cookies help remember choices and preferences and improve your experience on the Website.
Analytics cookies
Where enabled and permitted, these cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website and measure Website performance.
Advertising and marketing cookies

Where legally required, non-essential cookies will only be activated after you provide the appropriate consent.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie banner or cookie settings available on our Website. You may also control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.
Because GHABITS operates through Shopify, certain cookies and technologies may also be used by Shopify to provide and secure the online store. Shopify publishes information about its own use of cookies in its current Cookie Policy. (Shopify)
8. HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL DATA
We may share personal data with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our business and provide our Services.
These may include:

Our online store is powered by Shopify. Shopify provides the technology and infrastructure that enables us to operate our Website, process orders and provide related ecommerce functionality.
Shopify may process personal data in accordance with its own privacy documentation and our applicable contractual arrangements with Shopify.
Payment providers
We may share information necessary to process payments with payment service providers. Payment details may be processed directly by the relevant payment provider and may be subject to that provider’s own privacy policy.
GHABITS does not generally store complete payment-card details on its own systems.
Shipping and fulfilment providers
We may share information such as your name, delivery address, email address and order information with logistics, delivery and fulfilment providers to enable us to deliver products to you.
Technology and service providers
We may use third-party providers for services such as:
- website hosting and infrastructure;
- IT and security;
- customer support;
- email and communications;
- analytics;
- marketing;
- fraud prevention;

- business administration.
These providers may process personal data only as necessary to provide their services to us and, where applicable, under appropriate contractual arrangements.
Professional advisers and authorities
We may disclose information to professional advisers, insurers, auditors, regulators, law-enforcement authorities or other public bodies where necessary to comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
Business transactions
If GHABITS is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets or similar transaction, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.
We do not sell your personal data.
9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Some of our service providers and business partners may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that your personal data continues to receive an appropriate level of protection.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
- transferring data to a country recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection;
- using the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses;
- relying on another lawful transfer mechanism recognised under applicable data protection law; or
- implementing other appropriate safeguards required by law.
Shopify also maintains contractual and technical mechanisms governing international transfers of customer data. (Shopify)

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to:
- provide our Services;
- fulfil contractual obligations;
- maintain business and transaction records;
- comply with legal, accounting and tax obligations;
- resolve disputes;
- establish or defend legal claims; and
- enforce our agreements.
The specific retention period depends on the type of information and the purpose for which it is processed.
When personal data is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely restrict its use where appropriate.
11. DATA SECURITY
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.
These measures may include access controls, secure systems, encryption or other appropriate safeguards depending on the nature of the information and the risks involved.
However, no method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of personal data.
If you believe that your interaction with us or your account has been compromised, please contact us promptly at info@ghabits.com.

Right to withdraw consent
Where we process your personal data based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Rights relating to automated decision-making

15. USER-GENERATED CONTENT AND PRODUCT REVIEWS
Our Website may allow you to submit product reviews, comments, photographs or other content.
If you choose to submit content to a public area of the Website, that content may be visible to other Website visitors and potentially accessible through search engines or other third-party services.
Please do not include personal or sensitive information in content that you intend to make publicly available.
16. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
Our Website may contain links to websites, applications, social-media platforms or other services operated by third parties.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party website or service before providing personal data.
17. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our Website and Services are intended for adults and are not directed at children.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us at info@ghabits.com so that we can assess the situation and take appropriate action.
18. HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION
GHABITS sells wellness and food-supplement products. Our Website is not intended to collect medical records or provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
Please do not provide sensitive medical or health information through general Website forms, product reviews, customer-service messages or other channels unless specifically requested and where an appropriate lawful basis for processing exists.
Where you voluntarily provide health-related information, such information may constitute special category data under the GDPR. We will only process such information where a lawful basis and, where required, an additional condition for processing special category data under applicable law exists.
Nothing on the GHABITS Website should be understood as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
19. DATA PROTECTION COMPLAINTS
If you have concerns about how GHABITS processes your personal data, please contact us first at: info@ghabits.com
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority in your country of residence, place of work or the place where you believe an infringement occurred.
For individuals in the European Union, information about national supervisory authorities is available through the European Data Protection Board and the European Commission.
