5. Advertising and Pinterest
We may use Pinterest for advertising and analytics. When you see or click our ads on Pinterest, Pinterest and our advertising partners may process information about that interaction.
Pinterest acts as an independent controller of the personal data it collects for its own purposes. We recommend reviewing Pinterest's Privacy Policy and your Pinterest ad personalisation settings to understand and control how Pinterest uses your data.
Where we use a Pinterest Tag on this website, it helps us measure conversions and show relevant ads. You may opt out of Pinterest's ad personalisation from your Pinterest account settings or through the industry opt-out tools listed above.

We share personal information only in the following circumstances:
Service providers: hosting, email, analytics and advertising vendors that process data on our behalf under contractual safeguards;

7. Data retention
We retain inquiry and contact information for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for our legitimate business records, and for any period required by applicable law. Analytics and advertising data are retained in accordance with the retention policies of the relevant platform.
8. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access the personal information we hold about you; correct inaccurate information; request deletion of your information; object to or restrict certain processing; request a copy of your information in a portable format; and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
