7. International Processing
OpenLaukha, our platforms, and our service providers may process personal information in Singapore, the United States, China, and other countries.

9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures intended to protect personal information. However, no online service, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. You should use appropriate security measures when accessing your account, email, and payment services. The FTC recommends that businesses understand what personal information they hold, retain only what they need, protect it, securely dispose of it, and prepare for security incidents.
10. Marketing Communications
Where permitted, we may send promotional emails or other marketing communications. You may unsubscribe by:
- using the unsubscribe link in the communication; or
- contacting enquiries@openlaukha.com.
Even after unsubscribing from marketing, you may still receive non-promotional messages concerning orders, payments, delivery, returns, refunds, or important service notices.

- a copy of certain information;
- objection to certain marketing activities; or
- information about categories of data disclosed to third parties.
To submit a privacy request, email enquiries@openlaukha.com. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect your account. Some requests may be limited where we need to retain information for legal, security, fraud-prevention, transaction, or record-keeping purposes.
12. Advertising Choices
You may be able to limit targeted advertising through:
- your browser settings;
- cookie consent controls;
- settings made available by Meta;
- device advertising settings; or
- recognised advertising-industry opt-out tools.
Disabling advertising cookies may reduce personalisation but may not stop all advertisements.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact enquiries@openlaukha.com so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it. US websites directed to children under 13, or knowingly collecting information from them, may have additional obligations under COPPA.
14. Third-Party Websites
Our website may link to third-party websites or services. We do not control their privacy practices and are not responsible for their content or policies. Review the privacy policy of any external service before providing personal information.
