05 · Data retention
We keep order records for as long as needed to fulfil the order and to meet legal, tax and accounting requirements, then delete or anonymise them. Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe.
06 · Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to access, correct, delete, port or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to object to processing or withdraw consent.
EU/UK (GDPR): you can exercise any of the above and lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the UK, the ICO).
California (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know, delete, correct and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell your personal information for money. To opt out of any sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising, or to exercise any right, email support@heatecph.shop with the subject “Do Not Sell or Share”. We also honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a valid opt-out. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
To make any request, contact support@heatecph.shop. We may need to verify your identity and will respond within the time required by law.
