2. What This Store Is Currently Used For

At this time, this Shopify storefront is used for product browsing only. We are not currently selling products to customers in the UK or EU. No purchase, checkout, or payment functions are active for visitors from these regions.

We are conducting market research to understand potential customer interest in our products ahead of a planned international expansion. As part of this research, visitors may be invited to complete an online survey via Google Forms. That survey has its own Privacy Notice, which is displayed before you begin.
