How We Use Your Personal Information
Depending on how you interact with us or which Services you use, we may use your personal information for the following purposes:

This may include using your personal information to tailor and improve the Services in a more relevant way.
- Marketing and advertising. We use your personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, for example to send you marketing, advertising, and promotional communications by email, SMS, or postal mail, and to show you online advertisements for products or services on the Services or on other websites, including based on items you have previously purchased or added to your cart, as well as your other activities on the Services.
- Security and fraud prevention. We use your personal information to authenticate your account, provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect, investigate, or respond to fraudulent, illegal, dangerous, or malicious activity, protect public safety, and secure our services. If you choose to use the Services and create an account, you are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential. We strongly recommend that you do not share your username, password, or any other access credentials with anyone.

How We Disclose Personal Information
In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. These circumstances may include:
- With Shopify, service providers, and other third parties that provide services on our behalf (e.g., IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, order fulfillment, and shipping).
- With business and marketing partners to provide you with marketing services and serve you advertisements. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices. Depending on your place of residence, you may have the right to ask us not to share information about you for the purpose of showing you targeted marketing and advertising content based on your online activity across different merchants and websites. You may exercise your rights to opt out of such uses here.
- When you instruct us, send us a request, or otherwise consent to the disclosure of certain information to third parties, for example to ship products to you or through your use of social media widgets or login integrations.
- With our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.
- In the context of a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy, to comply with any applicable legal obligation (including in response to subpoenas, search warrants, or similar requests), to enforce our terms of service or applicable policies, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or third parties.
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 for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify, as well as with third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services. To learn more about Shopify’s use of your personal information and your rights, you can review Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on your place of residence, you may exercise certain rights regarding your personal information through Shopify’s privacy portal.
Third‑Party Websites and Links
The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites not affiliated with or controlled by us, we recommend that you review their privacy and security policies as well as their other terms of use. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of those sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on those sites. Information you provide in public or semi‑public spaces, including information you share on third‑party social media platforms, may also be visible by other users of the Services and/or by users of those third‑party platforms without restriction as to its use by us or a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content of such platforms, or of their owners or operators, unless otherwise stated on the Services.
Children’s Data
The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information about children who have not reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the information below to request its deletion. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we have no actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” (as those terms are defined by applicable privacy laws) personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
Security and Retention of Your Information
Please note that no security measure is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure during transmission. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as the need to keep the information to manage your account, provide the Services to you, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce any other applicable contract or policy.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your place of residence, you may have some or all of the rights listed below with respect to your personal information. However, these rights are not absolute, may apply only in certain circumstances, and, in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law.

You may exercise your rights to opt out of such uses here. Please note that if you access our website with the Global Privacy Control opt‑out preference signal enabled, depending on your place of residence, we will automatically treat this as a request to opt out for the device and browser you use to access the website. If we are able to associate the device sending the signal with a Shopify account, we will also apply the opt‑out request to that account. To learn more about Global Privacy Control, you can visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. Except for Global Privacy Control, we do not recognize other “Do Not Track” signals that may be sent from your web browser or device.
