Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted on Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services to provide and improve them on our behalf. Information you submit will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and with third parties who may be located in countries other than your own. For more information about how Shopify uses your personal information, see Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy at shopify.com/legal/privacy/app-users. Depending on where you live, you may be able to exercise certain rights through Shopify's privacy portal at privacy.shopify.com.
Third-party websites and links
The Services may include links to websites or platforms operated by third parties. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites. Information you provide in public or semi-public spaces — including on third-party social media platforms — may also be visible to other users of those platforms.
Children's data
The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, contact us using the details below to request its deletion. We do not have actual knowledge that we "share" or "sell" the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
Security and retention of your information
No security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information. How long we retain your personal information depends on factors such as the need to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to your personal information, subject to certain exceptions:
- Right to access the personal information we hold about you.
- Right to delete the personal information we hold about you.
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
- Right to data portability, in certain circumstances.
- Right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, or of processing considered "targeted advertising," as defined under applicable law. You can exercise this right by contacting us below. If you visit our site with the Global Privacy Control signal enabled, we will treat that as an opt-out request for that browser and device, depending on your location.
- Managing communication preferences — you can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time using the link in our emails. You may still receive non-promotional emails, such as order updates.
If you are located in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you may also have the right to object to or restrict our processing of your personal information, and the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal).
You can exercise any of these rights by contacting us using the details below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights, though we may need to verify your identity first, as permitted or required by applicable law.
Complaints
If you have a complaint about how we handle your personal information, please contact us using the details below. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
International transfers
We may transfer, store, and process your personal information outside the country in which you reside. If we transfer your personal information out of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on legally recognized transfer mechanisms, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, unless the transfer is to a country recognized as providing an adequate level of protection.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
