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 to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and with third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services. In addition, to help protect, grow and improve our business, we use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with our store, with other merchants and with Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may use personal information collected about your interactions with our store, with other merchants and with Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights over the use of your personal information for these purposes. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and any rights you may have, please see the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights with respect to your personal information through the Shopify 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 operated or controlled by us, please review their privacy and security policies and other terms. 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 them. Information you share in public or semi-public places, including on third-party social networking platforms, may be viewable by other users of the Services or of those platforms, without limitation on its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on those platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed 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 under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who you believe has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below and we will delete it. 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 in applicable law) personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Security and retention of your information

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security". In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

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

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights listed below in relation 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.

  • Right to access / know: you may have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to delete: you may have the right to request that we delete personal information we maintain about you.

  • Right to opt out of sale or sharing for targeted advertising: depending on where you live, you may have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "share" of your personal information, or of the processing of your personal information for "targeted advertising", as defined in applicable privacy laws. You can exercise your right to opt out here. If you visit our website with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, depending on where you live, we will automatically treat it as a request to opt out for the device and browser you use to visit the website. If we can link a device that sends the signal to your Shopify account, we will also apply the opt-out to that account. To learn more about Global Privacy Control, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/. We do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals other than Global Privacy Control.
  • Managing communication preferences: we may send you promotional emails, and you may opt out of receiving them at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or orders you have made.

If you live in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA), you may, subject to the exceptions and limitations provided by local law, exercise the following rights in addition to those above:

  • Objection to and restriction of processing: you may have the right to ask us to stop or restrict our processing of personal information for certain purposes.
  • Withdrawal of consent: where we rely on consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw it. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You may exercise these rights where indicated on the Services or by contacting us using the details below. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and any rights you may have, including in relation to data processed by Shopify, please visit https://privacy.shopify.com/en.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. We may need to verify your identity before we can process your request, as permitted or required under applicable law. In accordance with applicable law, you may designate an authorised agent to make requests on your behalf. Before accepting a request from an agent, we may require proof that the agent has been authorised by you, and we may ask you to verify your identity directly with us. We will respond to your request in a timely manner as required under applicable law.

If we transfer your personal information out of the EEA or the United Kingdom, we will rely on recognised transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the UK, unless the transfer is to a country that has been determined to provide an adequate level of protection.
