We share your Personal Information with service providers who assist us in providing our services and fulfilling our contracts with you, as described above. For example:

  • We may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for information we receive, or to protect our rights.

We use your Personal Information, as described above, to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications that we believe may be of interest to you. For example:

  • We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site. You can learn more about how Google uses your Personal Information in their Privacy Policy [Google's privacy policy]. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics Opt-out page [Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on].

We share information about your use of the Site, your purchases, and your interaction with our ads on other websites with our advertising partners. We collect and share some of this information directly with our advertising partners, and in some cases, through the use of cookies or similar technologies (which you may consent to, depending on your location).

We also share information about your use of the Site, your purchases, and the email address associated with your purchases with Shopify Audiences, through which other Shopify merchants may present offers that you might find appealing.

You can opt-out of targeted advertising by:


Google: Adjust your Google Ads settings by visiting the Google Ads Settings page https://myadcenter.google.com/.

Additionally, you can opt-out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out portal.


Please note that opting out of targeted advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertisements. It simply means that the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.


If you have any further questions or concerns about our behavioral advertising practices, please feel free to contact us using the information provided in the "Contact" section above.


Note: Please remember to insert the appropriate links for Google's privacy policy, Google Analytics opt-out page, the Network Advertising Initiative's educational page, Facebook Ads Settings, Google Ads Settings, Bing Ad Settings, and the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out portal.

When you place an order through the Site, we will retain your Personal Information for our records unless and until you request us to erase this information. If you would like more information on your right to erasure, please refer to the "Your Rights" section below.

Automatic Decision-Making

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making, including profiling, when such decision-making has a legal or significant effect on you.

We [do/do not] engage in fully automated decision-making that has a legal or significant effect on customers using their data. Our processor, Shopify, uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud, which does not have a legal or significant effect on you.

Services that involve elements of automated decision-making include:

  • Temporary blacklist of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This blacklist persists for a small number of hours.
  • Temporary blacklist of credit cards associated with blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist persists for a small number of days.

We use different types of cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies enhance your browsing experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences, such as login information and region selection. They also provide information on how users interact with the website, including whether they are first-time or frequent visitors.

We utilize the following cookies to optimize your experience on our Site and provide our services:

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether to accept or reject cookies through your browser settings, typically found in the "Tools" or "Preferences" menu. Modifying your browser settings to block or manage cookies may affect your user experience, and certain parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Please note that blocking cookies may not entirely prevent the sharing of information with third parties, such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of specific uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions provided in the "Behavioral Advertising" section above.

Do Not Track

Please be aware that we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we receive "Do Not Track" signals from your browser. As there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to such signals, we continue to operate in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Changes

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, operations, or legal obligations. We encourage you to review this policy regularly for any updates. The "Last updated" date provided at the end of this policy indicates the most recent revision.
