  • In connection with business transactions such as mergers or bankruptcies, to comply with applicable legal obligations (including responding to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests), to enforce applicable Terms of Service and policies, or to protect and defend the Service, our rights, and the rights of users and others.

Relationship with Shopify

The Service is hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes Personal Information about your access to and use of the Service in order to provide and improve the Service to you. Information you submit to the Service is transmitted to and shared with Shopify and third parties who may be located in countries other than your country of residence in order to provide and improve the Service to you. Additionally, to protect and grow our business, we use certain enhanced features from Shopify that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with this store, other merchants, and Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may use Personal Information it has collected about your interactions with this store, other merchants, and Shopify. In such cases, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your Personal Information and will respond to requests to exercise your rights regarding the use of your Personal Information for these purposes.

Depending on where you are located, you may be able to exercise certain rights regarding your Personal Information at the [Shopify Privacy Portal Link].

External Service Websites and Links

The Service may contain links to websites and other online platforms operated by external services. If you follow links to sites not affiliated with or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms of use. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, such as social networking platforms operated by external services, may be viewed by other users of the Service and users of those external service platforms, without limitation on its use by us or the external service. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, except insofar as disclosed on the Service.

Children's Data

The Service is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If your child has provided us with Personal Information and you are their parent or guardian, you may contact us using the contact details below to request that the information be deleted. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we "share" or "sell" (as those terms are defined in applicable law) Personal Information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Security and Retention of Your Information

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain your Personal Information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you are located, you may have some or all of the rights described below with respect to your Personal Information. However, these rights are not absolute and may only apply in certain circumstances, and in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law.

  • Right to Access / Know: You may have a right to request access to Personal Information that we hold about you.

You can exercise your right to opt out of these uses [here]. Please note that if you visit our website with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, depending on where you are located, we will automatically treat this as a request to opt-out of the use of your Personal Information for your device and browser. If we are able to link the signal to a specific Shopify account, we will also apply the opt-out request to that account. To learn more about the Global Privacy Control, please visit [https://globalprivacycontrol.org/]. We do not recognize any other "Do Not Track" signals that may be sent from your web browser or device other than Global Privacy Control.
  • Manage Communication Preferences: We may send you promotional emails, and you may opt out of receiving these at any time by using the unsubscribe option displayed in our emails to you. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or orders.

If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (EEA): In addition to the rights above, subject to local law exceptions and restrictions, you may be able to exercise the following rights:

  • Object to and Restrict Processing: You may have the right to ask us to stop or restrict our processing of Personal Information for certain purposes.
  • Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing your Personal Information, you may have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You can exercise these rights by following the instructions provided on the Service or by contacting us using the contact information below. To learn more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information and your rights, including with respect to data processed by Shopify, please visit [https://privacy.shopify.com/en].

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. We may need to collect information from you to verify your identity before processing your request, such as your email address, or account information, as permitted by applicable law. In certain circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf. We will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf, and you may also be required to verify your identity directly with us. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.

Complaints

Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to appeal our decision to reject your request, or to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

International Transfers

Please note that we may transfer, store, and process your Personal Information outside the country you live in.

When we transfer your Personal Information outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we do so on the basis of recognized transfer mechanisms, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the UK, as applicable, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined to provide an adequate level of protection.
