4. Wix and Service Providers

The ROOKS Ventures website is hosted using the Wix platform. Wix provides website infrastructure and services that enable us to operate our website and online store.

Information may therefore be processed or stored through Wix and services integrated with the Wix platform. Wix states that data may be stored through its data storage, databases, and applications, and that payment gateways offered through Wix are subject to applicable payment-security standards. Wix Support

We may also use third-party service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the business, such as payment processors, shipping and fulfillment providers, website analytics providers, email or communications providers, and other technology vendors.

These providers may receive information necessary to perform services on our behalf and may maintain their own privacy policies.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate website features, remember preferences, maintain security, understand website usage, and improve visitor experience.

Wix uses certain essential cookies for functions such as security, stability, user identification, and operation of its platform. Wix applications and third-party integrations may also place additional cookies on a Wix website. Wix Support

Depending on your location and our website configuration, you may be given options to accept or decline certain non-essential cookies.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation or functionality of portions of the website.

6. Marketing Communications

If you choose to receive marketing communications from ROOKS Ventures, we may use the contact information you provide to send information about products, content, announcements, promotions, or other ROOKS-related updates.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe option included in those communications or by contacting us.

Transactional communications relating to purchases, accounts, customer service, or other requested services may still be sent when necessary.

7. Sharing of Information

ROOKS Ventures may share personal information when reasonably necessary with service providers that assist us in operating our website, processing transactions, fulfilling orders, communicating with customers, preventing fraud, analyzing website performance, or providing other business services.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or legal process

• Protect the rights, property, or safety of ROOKS Ventures, our customers, or others

• Investigate suspected fraud, security incidents, or misuse of the website

ROOKS Ventures does not sell personal information for money.

If our practices regarding personal information materially change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any additional choices required by applicable law.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.

Our website also relies on the security infrastructure provided by Wix and other service providers involved in operating our website and processing transactions.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information. These may include rights to:

• Request access to certain personal information

• Request correction of inaccurate information

• Obtain information about how personal information is used or disclosed

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
