8. International Data Transfers
WAFORA is located in Spain, but some of our service providers, fulfillment partners, and technology providers may process personal information in other countries.

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests and may withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

14. Marketing Communications
You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by:

Automated responses may be used to provide initial assistance. A chatbot response does not replace confirmation from a member of our customer-service team when manual review is required.
16. Automated Processing
We and our service providers may use automated systems to identify fraud, security risks, unusual transactions, or website misuse.
We do not intend to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects unless such processing is permitted by applicable law and appropriate safeguards are provided.
17. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, payment services, social networks, or other services.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party service you use.
18. Children’s Privacy
Our website and products are intended for general adult customers and are not directed toward children.
