  • In connection with business transactions, such as mergers or bankruptcies, to comply with applicable legal obligations (including responding to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests), to enforce applicable terms of service or policies, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or third parties.

Relationship with Shopify

 

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access and use of the Services to provide and improve the Services to you. The information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify, as well as third parties who may be located in countries other than your country of residence, to provide and improve the Services to you. In addition, to help protect, expand, and improve our business, we use some advanced Shopify features that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with our store, other merchants, and Shopify itself. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may use personal information collected about your interactions with our store, other merchants, and Shopify. In such cases, Shopify is responsible for processing this personal information, including responding to your requests regarding the exercise of your rights regarding the use of this information for these purposes. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and what rights you may have, please visit Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on your location, you may be able to exercise certain rights regarding your personal information here Link to Shopify's Privacy Policy.

Third-party websites and links

The Services may contain links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you access these links to websites that are not affiliated with or controlled by us, we recommend that you review the privacy and security policies, as well as the terms and conditions of these third parties. We do not guarantee or take responsibility for the privacy or security practices of these websites, including the accuracy, integrity, or reliability of the information they provide. The information you share in public or semi-public environments, such as third-party social networks, may also be viewed by other users of the Services and/or these platforms, without any limitation of use by us or third parties. The inclusion of these links in the Services does not in itself represent any endorsement of the content of these platforms or their owners and operators, unless expressly indicated in the Services themselves.

Information about children

The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from minors as defined by applicable law in your jurisdiction. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child who has shared personal information with us, you may contact us through the channels listed below to request that this data be deleted. At the time this Privacy Policy became effective, we have no actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” (as defined by applicable law) personal information from individuals under the age of 16.

Security and retention of your information

Although we take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information, no system is completely foolproof. Therefore, we cannot guarantee “absolute security.” In addition, data transmitted to us may not be protected during transit. For this reason, we recommend that you avoid sending sensitive or confidential information via unsecure means.

The period for which we retain your personal information may vary depending on a number of factors, including the need to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce applicable contracts and policies.

Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have some or all of the rights listed below in relation to your personal information. However, these rights are not absolute, may only apply in certain circumstances, and in some cases, Shopify may refuse your request as permitted by law.

You can request that your data not be used for these purposes here. If you access our website with the “Global Privacy Control” preference signal enabled in your browser, and depending on your location, we will automatically treat this as a request to opt out for the device and browser used to access the website.
