3. COOKIES AND TRACKING
KCMagrath.com uses cookies and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to enhance functionality and monitor performance.

4. DATA SHARING
We share personal data only:
• With trusted, GDPR-compliant service providers (e.g., payment processors, giveaway platforms, shipping providers) to fulfill orders, deliver prizes, or manage site operations.

• We do not transfer data outside the UK/EU unless safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

5. DATA SECURITY
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. However, no online transmission is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. DATA RETENTION
