This includes fulfilling orders, processing payments, managing returns, maintaining accounts, arranging shipping, enabling reviews, remembering preferences, and creating a personalised shopping experience, including product recommendations based on your activity.

We may also use personal information for marketing and advertising, sending promotional communications by email, text, or mail, and displaying advertisements on our Services or other websites. We may use information to ensure security, prevent fraud, authenticate accounts, protect public safety, and maintain the integrity of our Services. Personal information is used to respond to inquiries, provide customer support, comply with legal obligations, and enforce our terms and policies.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to service providers such as Shopify, vendors, IT and payment processors, analytics providers, customer support teams, cloud storage providers, and shipping partners. Business and marketing partners may use your information for personalized advertising according to their privacy policies. Personal information may also be disclosed with your consent, to affiliates, in connection with business transactions or legal obligations, or to protect rights and safety.

Relationship with Shopify

Our Services are hosted by Shopify. Shopify collects and processes personal information to help provide and improve our Services. Some Shopify-enhanced features may incorporate data from your interactions with our store, other merchants, and Shopify. Shopify is responsible for processing personal information for those purposes and handling related rights requests. For more information, review the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and Shopify Privacy Portal.

Third-Party Websites and Links

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy or security practices. Information shared publicly or on social media platforms may be visible to others. Links do not imply endorsement unless expressly stated.

Children’s Data

Our Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us for deletion. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Security and Data Retention

We implement reasonable security measures, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Information transmitted to us may not be secure in transit. Personal information is retained only as long as necessary to provide the Services, maintain accounts, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or request portability of your data. You may also opt out of promotional communications using the unsubscribe link. Requests may require identity verification, and authorised agents may submit requests on your behalf. Exercising your rights will not result in discrimination.
