Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will publish the revised Privacy Policy on the website, update the “Last Updated” date, and take any other actions required by law.

How We Use Your Personal Data

To Provide Products and Services

We use your data to fulfill our contract with you, including processing payments, managing orders and returns, account management, shipping, notifications, and customer service. Shopify may also link your account information to improve your shopping experience.

For Marketing and Advertising

We use your data to send promotional content via email, SMS, or postal mail, where permitted by law or with your consent. Your usage behavior may also be analyzed to personalize offers.
(If you are in the EEA, this is based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.)

For Security and Fraud Prevention

We analyze your data to detect and prevent fraud, misuse, or security risks. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure. Suspicious activity must be reported immediately.

To Communicate and Improve Our Services

Your data helps us answer your questions, improve our Services, and maintain customer relationships. This also falls under our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cookies

Like many websites, we use cookies. For detailed information about Shopify’s cookies, visit:
https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies

We use cookies to operate and improve our website and Services (including storing your preferences), analyze usage, and better understand user behavior. This is based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Third parties may also use cookies to personalize products, services, and advertisements on our website and elsewhere.

Disabling Cookies

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can set your browser to remove or block cookies. Note that this may affect functionality and user experience. Blocking cookies does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with advertising partners.

Sharing Personal Data

We may share personal data with third parties under certain circumstances — strictly in accordance with this Privacy Policy and only where a legal basis exists.

These circumstances include:

  • Service providers acting on our behalf (e.g., IT, payments, analytics, customer support, storage, shipping)

  • Marketing and business partners offering services or advertisements to you

  • With your consent (e.g., for deliveries, social media connections, or third-party login services)

  • Within our corporate group, based on our legitimate interest in operating a successful business

  • In business transactions (e.g., mergers, insolvency) or to comply with legal obligations, enforce terms, or protect rights

Third-Party Websites and External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms. If you follow these links, you leave our website. Review the privacy and security policies of these external sites separately — we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.

Any information you share publicly — for example through social media or comment sections — is visible to others. Linking to a site does not imply our endorsement or partnership.

Children’s Data

Our Services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child has provided personal data to us, please contact us — we will delete it immediately.

To our knowledge, we have not “sold” or “shared” personal data of individuals under 16 as of the date listed above, as defined by applicable law.

Data Security and Retention

Please be aware that no security measures are completely foolproof. Emails or forms may be insecure during transmission — do not send sensitive information through unsecured channels.

How long we keep your personal data depends on several factors, including:

  • Whether you have an active account with us

  • Whether we are legally required to retain certain data

  • Whether the data is needed for questions, warranty, or legal defense

Depending on your place of residence, you may have the following privacy rights (not all rights apply in all circumstances):

  • Right of access: Request to know what personal data we hold about you

  • Right to deletion: Request that we delete your personal data
