Services, our rights and the rights of our users or of third parties.Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about
your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services.
Information that you submit through the Services will be transmitted to and shared with
Shopify, as well as with third parties that may be located in countries other than the one
in which you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services. To protect, develop and
improve our business, we also use certain enhanced Shopify features that integrate data and
information from your interactions with our store, with other merchants and with Shopify. To
provide these enhanced features, Shopify may use personal information collected from your
interactions with our store, with other merchants and with Shopify. In these circumstances,
Shopify acts as controller of your personal information, in particular to respond to your
requests to exercise your rights regarding the use of your personal information for these
purposes. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and what rights you
may have, you can consult Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on your place of
residence, you may exercise certain rights regarding your personal information here (link to
Shopify’s privacy portal).
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 with or controlled by us, we recommend
that you review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do
not endorse and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the
accuracy, completeness or reliability of information found on such sites. Information you
provide in public or semi■public areas, including information you share on third■party
social media platforms, may be visible to other users of the Services and/or to users of
those third■party platforms without restrictions on its use by us or by a third party. Our
inclusion of such links does not by itself imply any approval of the content of those
platforms or of their owners or operators, unless expressly stated on the Services.
Children’s data
The Services are not intended for use by children and we do not knowingly collect personal
information from children who have not reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If
you are the parent or legal guardian of a child who has provided us with personal
information, you may contact us using the contact details below to request deletion. As of
the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we are not aware of “selling” or “sharing” (as
defined under applicable law) personal information of individuals under the age of 16.
Security and retention of your information
Please note that no security measure is perfect or impenetrable and that we cannot guarantee
“perfect security”. In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure in
transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to send us sensitive or
confidential information.
The period for which we retain your personal information depends on several factors, such as
the need to keep the information to manage your account, to provide the Services, to comply
with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes or to enforce any applicable contract or
policy.
Your rights and choices
Depending on your place of residence, you may have some or all of the rights listed belowwith respect to your personal information. However, these rights are not absolute, may apply
only in certain circumstances and, in some cases, we may deny your request to the extent
permitted by law.

information we hold about you.

residence, you may have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal
information or to object to the processing of your personal information for purposes
considered “targeted advertising”, as defined in applicable privacy laws. You can exercise
your right to opt out here. Please note that if you visit our website with the Global
Privacy Control (GPC) preference signal enabled, we will, depending on where you live,
automatically treat this as an opt■out request for the device and browser you are using to
access the website. If we can link the device sending the signal to a Shopify account, we
will also apply the opt■out to that account. Apart from GPC, we do not recognise other “Do
Not Track” signals that may be sent from your browser or device.
• Communications preferences. We may send you promotional emails. You can opt out of
receiving them at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in our emails. If you
opt out, we may still send you non■promotional emails, for example about your account or
about orders you have placed.
If you reside in the UK or the EEA, and subject to the exceptions and limitations provided
for in local law, you may also exercise the following rights in addition to the rights
listed above:
• Objection to processing and restriction of processing: you may have the right to ask us to
stop or restrict the processing of your personal information for certain purposes.
• Withdrawal of consent: where we rely on your consent to process your personal information,
you have the right to withdraw that consent. If you withdraw your consent, the lawfulness of
processing based on your consent before its withdrawal will not be affected.
You can exercise these rights through the relevant areas of the Services or by contacting us
using the contact details below. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal
information and the rights you may have – including rights regarding data processed by
Shopify – you can consult https://privacy.shopify.com.
We will not penalise you for exercising one of these rights. We may need to verify your
identity before we can process your requests, to the extent permitted by law. In accordance
with applicable law, you may designate an authorised agent to submit requests on your
behalf. Before we accept such a request from an agent, we will require proof of the
authorisation you have given to the agent, and we may require you to verify your identity
directly with us. We will respond to your request within the time limits set by applicable
law.
