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 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 the country where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services. In addition, to protect, grow and improve our business, we use certain enhanced Shopify features that incorporate data and information from your interactions with our Store, as well as with other merchants and Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may use personal information collected from your interactions with our store, other merchants and Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for processing your personal information, including responding to requests to exercise your rights regarding Shopify's use of your personal information for these purposes. To learn more about Shopify's use of your personal information and the rights available to you, you can review the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy.

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 that are not affiliated with us or that we do not control, we recommend that you 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 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 to other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without restriction as to its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not by itself imply any endorsement of the content of those 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 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 personal information, you may contact us using the details below to request deletion. 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 under applicable law) personal information about 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, information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. 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 various factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts or policies.
