Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services. Information you submit through the Services is transmitted to and shared with Shopify, as well as with third parties who may be located in countries other than the one in which you live, in order to provide and improve the Services. In addition, to help us protect, grow, and improve our business, we use certain enhanced features from Shopify that involve data and information derived from your interactions with our store along with interactions with other merchants and with Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may use personal information collected about your interactions with our store along with other merchants and with Shopify. In these cases, Shopify is responsible for processing your personal information, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights with respect to its use of your personal information for these purposes. For more information about how Shopify uses your personal information and the rights you may have, please review the Shopify Privacy Policy for Customers. Depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights over your personal information here (link to Shopify privacy policy portal).

Third-Party Websites and Links

The Services may contain links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to websites not affiliated with or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms of use. We do not endorse or are not responsible for the privacy or security of such websites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found there. Information you provide in public or semi-public areas, including information you share on third-party social media platforms, may also be viewed by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation on its use by us or by a third party. The inclusion of such links by us does not imply endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed in the Services.

Children's Data

The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us at the contact details below to request deletion of that information. Since the effective date of this privacy policy, we are not actually aware of sharing or selling personal information of individuals under the age of 16 (as defined by applicable law).

Security and Retention of Your Information

Please be aware that no security measure is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Furthermore, information you send to us may not be secure during transmission. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to transmit sensitive or confidential information to us.

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