These legal bases may include:

The nature of the information collected.

9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or loss.
Our online store operates through Shopify, which provides infrastructure and security features supporting e-commerce transactions.
Despite these safeguards, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.
We encourage customers to protect account credentials and avoid sharing sensitive information through unsecured communication channels.
If you believe your personal information or account has been compromised, please contact us promptly.
10. International Data Transfers
Rhykin may use service providers operating in countries other than your country of residence.
As a result, personal information may be processed, stored, or transferred internationally, including to locations where Shopify or our service providers maintain infrastructure.
Where international transfers are subject to legal safeguards, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms required or permitted by applicable data protection laws.
These may include adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other recognized safeguards.
