We do not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money. Depending on the services and technologies enabled on our website, certain data sharing for advertising or analytics may be considered “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws. Where applicable, we will honor legally required opt-out rights.

6. Shopify's Role

Our store operates on Shopify's platform. Shopify may collect and process personal information in connection with its services and may process information according to its own privacy practices.

Your information may be processed by Shopify and its service providers in locations outside your state or country, subject to applicable legal protections.

7. International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process or store personal information in countries other than the country in which you reside.

Privacy laws in those locations may differ from the laws where you live. Where required, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including processing orders, providing customer support, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and meeting legal, tax, or accounting obligations.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When information is no longer needed, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

You should use care when transmitting personal information online and contact us if you believe your information or order has been compromised.

You may also have privacy choices available through Shopify or your browser settings.

11. Marketing Communications and Opt-Outs

If we send promotional emails, you may opt out by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message.

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send non-promotional messages needed to complete an order, provide customer service, or communicate important service information.

Where applicable, you may also use browser privacy controls or legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), to exercise certain privacy rights. The effect of these signals depends on applicable law and the technologies used on our website.

12. Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age at which they may legally provide it without parental consent.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.
