If you visit our Site, open or click emails we send you, or interact with our Services or advertisements, we or third parties with whom we work may automatically collect certain information using online tracking technologies like pixels, web beacons, software development kits, third-party libraries, and cookies.

How We Use Your Personal Data

  • Provision of Products and Services: We use your personal data to provide the Services and fulfill our contract with you, including processing your payments, fulfilling your orders, sending notifications regarding your account, purchases, returns, exchanges, or other transactions, creating, maintaining, and otherwise managing your account, organizing shipping, facilitating returns and exchanges, and other account-related functions. We may also improve your shopping experience by enabling Shopify to sync your account with other Shopify services you may want to use. In this case, Shopify processes your data according to its privacy policy and consumer privacy policy.
  • Marketing and Advertising: We may use your personal data for marketing and advertising purposes, such as sending marketing and promotional messages via email, SMS, or mail and displaying advertisements for products or services. This may include using your personal data to better tailor the Services and advertisements on our Site and other websites. If you are based in the EEA, the legal basis for these processing activities is our legitimate interest in selling our products according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention: We use your personal data to detect, investigate, or take action regarding potential fraudulent, illegal, or malicious activities. If you choose to use the Services and register an account, you are responsible for the security of your account credentials. We strongly recommend that you do not share your username, password, or other access details with third parties. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

Like many websites, we use cookies on our Site. Specific information about the cookies we use in connection with providing our store via Shopify can be found at https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies. We use cookies to operate and improve our Site and Services (including storing your actions and preferences), conduct analytics, and better understand user interactions with the Services (in our legitimate interest to manage, improve, and optimize the Services). We may also allow third parties and service providers to use cookies on our Site to better tailor services, products, and advertisements on our Site and other websites.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies by default. However, you can configure your browser to remove or block cookies through browser controls. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may affect your user experience and may result in some Services, including certain features and general functionality, not working correctly or being unavailable. Additionally, blocking cookies may not fully prevent us from sharing information with third parties, such as our advertising partners.

How We Share Your Personal Data
Under certain circumstances, we may share your personal data for contract fulfillment, legitimate purposes, and other reasons governed by this Privacy Policy. These circumstances may include:

  • With providers or other third parties who perform services on our behalf (e.g., IT management, payment processing, data analysis, customer support, cloud storage, order fulfillment, and shipping).
  • With business and marketing partners to provide services and make advertisements for you. Our business and marketing partners use your data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
  • If you instruct us, request us, or otherwise consent to sharing certain information with third parties, such as sending you products or via your use of social media widgets or login integrations, with your consent.
  • With our affiliates or within our corporate group, in our legitimate interest to operate a successful business.
  • In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger or bankruptcy, to fulfill all applicable legal obligations (including responding to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests), enforce all applicable terms of service, and protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

We disclose the following categories of personal data and sensitive personal data about users for the above-mentioned purposes in "How We Collect and Use Your Personal Data" and "How We Share Your Personal Data."

Children's Data
The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who has submitted personal data to us, you may contact us at the details below and request the deletion of this data.

As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we have no actual knowledge of "selling" or "sharing" personal data of individuals under 16 years of age (as these terms are defined under applicable law).

Security and Data Retention
Please note that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." Additionally, the information you send to us may not be secure during transmission. We recommend that you avoid using insecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information.

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

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal data. However, these rights are not absolute and only apply under certain circumstances. In certain cases, we may reject your request as permitted by law.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. We may need to collect information from you, such as your email address or account information, to verify your identity before we can respond substantively to your request.
