This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction using the Services or otherwise communicate with us.

When we use the term “personal information,” we are referring to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person.

How We Use Your Personal Information

Depending on how you interact with us or which of the Services you use, we may use personal information for the following purposes:

How We Disclose Personal Information

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:

• With Shopify, vendors, and other third parties who perform services on our behalf (for example: IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, fulfillment and shipping).
• With business and marketing partners to provide marketing services and advertise to you, consistent with their own privacy notices and your choices.
• When you direct, request, or otherwise consent to our disclosure of certain information to third parties (for example, to ship you products or through your use of social media widgets or login integrations).
• With our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.
• In connection with a business transaction (for example, a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy) and to comply with legal obligations, enforce policies, or protect and defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

We do not sell your SMS opt-in information. We may share limited information with service providers (including Shopify, messaging technology providers, and mobile carriers) strictly to deliver text messages, prevent abuse, and maintain compliance.

Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify. Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services for you.

In addition, to help protect, grow, and improve our business, we may use certain Shopify features that incorporate data obtained from your interactions with our Store, along with other merchants and with Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information for these Shopify features, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights over use of your personal information for these purposes.

To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and any rights you may have, you can visit Shopify’s 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 not affiliated or controlled by us, you should review 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 these sites.

Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms may also be viewable by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed on the Services.

Children's Data

The Services are not intended to be used by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. 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 set out below to request that it be deleted.

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 unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide you with 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.
