How We Protect Your Data?

In the following data protection declaration, we inform you whether and how we evaluate data from your visit to this website.

We constantly work to ensure that your data is as energising and fragrant as the scents we produce.

TLS Encryption 

We utilise ‘https’ protocol to transfer data securely on the Internet. We can protect confidential data by using the TLS (Transport Layer Security), which is an encrypted protocol for securing data transmission processes on the Internet.

You can be confident that these partners uphold the same strict data protection and privacy standards as we do.

Additionally, we reserve the right to disclose your information to comply with legal obligations or defend our rights, privacy, security, or property.
