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 them. Information you submit through the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and with third parties that may be located in countries other than your country of residence 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 derived from your interactions with our store, 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 such processing.

For more information about Shopify’s use of personal information and your rights, please see the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights through the Shopify Privacy 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 sites not affiliated with or controlled by us, we encourage you to review their privacy and security policies and terms of use. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, nor for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information found on them.

Information you provide in public or semi-public areas, including information shared on third-party social media platforms, may be visible to other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without restriction. The inclusion of such links does not imply endorsement of the content, owners, or operators of those platforms unless expressly stated otherwise.

Children’s Data

The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children who have not reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child 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 of individuals under the age of 16.

Security and Retention of Your Information

Please note that no security measure is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Additionally, 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.

The retention period for your personal information depends on various factors, including whether the information is needed to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce applicable agreements or policies.
