Relationship With Shopify

Our store is hosted by Shopify. Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of our store to provide and improve its services.

Information submitted through our store may be shared with Shopify and third parties, including parties located in countries other than your country of residence.

We may also use enhanced Shopify features that rely on information about your interactions with our store, other merchants, and Shopify.

Shopify is responsible for processing personal information associated with these features and handling applicable requests concerning your privacy rights.

For more information, review the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on your location, you may also exercise certain rights through the Shopify Privacy Portal.

Third-Party Websites and Links

Our services may contain links to websites and platforms operated by third parties. If you visit a website that we do not own or control, we recommend reviewing its privacy policy, security practices, and terms.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, or reliability of third-party websites.

Information shared in public or semi-public spaces, including social media platforms, may be visible to other users and may be used by us or third parties subject to the applicable platform terms and privacy policies.

Including a third-party link does not automatically mean that we endorse the website or its operators.

Children's Data

Our services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the age of majority applicable in their jurisdiction.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, you may contact us using the details below to request its deletion.

As of the effective date of the original policy, we stated that we had no actual knowledge of selling or sharing personal information belonging to individuals under 16, as those terms are defined by applicable law.

Security and Retention of Information

We take steps to protect personal information. However, no security measure is perfect, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Information transmitted online may not be completely secure, so we recommend avoiding unsecured channels when sending sensitive or confidential information.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary, considering factors such as maintaining your account, providing our services, fulfilling legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing applicable agreements and policies.

Subject to applicable legal requirements and exceptions, residents of the United Kingdom and European Economic Area may also have the right to:
