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 and with third parties that may be located in countries other than the country where you live, in order to provide and improve the Services. In addition, in order 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 the use of your personal information for these purposes.

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 under our control, we recommend reviewing their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. 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 areas, including information shared 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 a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not in itself imply endorsement of the content of those platforms or 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 its deletion. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we are not aware that we “share” or “sell” personal information, as those terms are defined by applicable law, relating to individuals under the age of 16.

Security and retention of your information

Please note that no security measure is perfect or infallible and we cannot guarantee “perfect security”. In addition, information you send 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 various factors, such as whether we need the information to manage your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable agreements or policies.
