In addition to the specific uses set out below, we may use the information we collect about you to communicate with you, provide or improve the Services, comply with any applicable legal obligations, enforce applicable terms of service, and protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

Personal Information We Collect

The types of personal information we obtain about you depend on how you interact with our Site and use our Services. When we use the term "personal information," we refer to information that identifies you, relates to you, describes you, or can be associated with you.

Finally, we may obtain information about you from third parties, including from vendors and service providers who may collect information on our behalf, such as:

How we use your personal information

We use your personal information to provide you with the Services in order to perform the contract we have entered into with you, including to process your payments, fulfill your orders, send you notifications related to your account, your purchases, returns, exchanges, or other transactions, create, maintain, and manage your account, arrange shipping, facilitate any returns and exchanges, and other features and functionality related to your account. We may also enhance your shopping experience by allowing Shopify to match your account with other Shopify services you may choose to use. In that case, Shopify will process your information as set out in its privacy policy and its consumer privacy policy.

We may use your personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, for example to send marketing, advertising, and promotional communications by email, SMS, or postal mail, and to show you ads for products or services. This may include using your personal information to better tailor the Services and advertising on our Site and other websites. If you reside in the EEA, the legal basis for these data processing activities is our legitimate interest in selling our products, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

If you choose to use the Services and create an account, you are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. We strongly recommend that you do not share your username, password, or other access information. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

We may also allow third parties and service providers to use cookies on our Site to better tailor services, products, and advertising on our Site and other websites.

In addition, blocking cookies may not completely prevent the way we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners.

How we disclose personal information

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for contract performance, legitimate purposes, and other reasons subject to this privacy policy. This may include, for example:

- Service providers or other third parties that perform services on our behalf (e.g., IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer service, cloud storage, order fulfillment, and shipping).

- Business and marketing partners to provide you with services and serve you advertising. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices.

- When you ask us to disclose or otherwise consent to our disclosure of certain information to third parties, for example to ship products to you or through your use of social media widgets or identifier 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 comply with applicable legal obligations (including to respond to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests), to enforce applicable terms of service, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or third parties.

we have disclosed the following categories of personal information and sensitive personal information about users for the purposes described above, in the sections “How we collect and use your personal information” and “How we disclose personal information”:

Third-party websites and links

Our Site 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, you should review their privacy and security policies and their other terms and conditions of use. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of those sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information found on those sites. Information you provide in public or semi-public areas, 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 limitation on our use or a third party’s use of it. The inclusion of these links does not, by itself, imply an endorsement of the content of those platforms or of their owners or operators, except as stated in the Services.

Children’s data

The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the contact 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) the personal information of 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 “absolute security.” In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to provide us with sensitive or confidential information.

How long we retain your personal information depends on various factors—for example, whether we need that information to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce other applicable agreements and policies.

You may exercise any of these rights where indicated on our Site or by contacting us using the contact details provided below.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. We may need to collect information from you to verify your identity, such as your email address or account information, before providing a substantive response to the request.

Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof that you have authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
