How We Use Your Personal Information

To Provide Products and Services:

We use your information to fulfill our contract with you, including payment processing, order fulfillment, returns, account management, shipping, notifications, and support. Shopify may use your account data to improve your experience.

For Marketing and Advertising:

We may send promotional materials by email, SMS, or post where legally allowed or with your consent. We may analyze your use of our services to better tailor offers to you.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), this processing is based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR or your consent where required.

If you are located in certain U.S. states, including California, this may constitute “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under applicable state privacy laws. You have the right to opt out of such sharing as described below.

For Security and Fraud Prevention:

We process your data to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security risks. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. Please notify us immediately of any suspicious activity.

For Communication and Service Improvements:

We use your data to respond to inquiries, improve our services, and maintain customer relationships. For EEA users, this is based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cookies

We use cookies like many websites. Full details on Shopify's cookies can be found here:
https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies

We use cookies to operate and improve our website and services, store preferences and activity, analyze performance, and better understand user behavior.

For users in the EEA and UK, non-essential cookies (such as marketing or analytics cookies) are placed only with your consent where required by law.

For users in certain U.S. states, the use of advertising or analytics cookies may constitute “sharing” of personal information. You may opt out of targeted advertising by:

• Adjusting your cookie preferences via our cookie banner (if available)
• Using browser privacy controls or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where supported
• Contacting us using the details below

Disabling Cookies:

Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can set your browser to delete or block cookies. Please note that this may affect functionality. Blocking cookies may not fully prevent data sharing with advertising partners.

Sharing of Personal Information

We only share personal data with third parties under this Privacy Policy and when there is a legal basis to do so.

Situations may include:

  • Service providers that operate on our behalf (e.g., IT operations, payment processing, analytics, customer support, logistics)
  • Marketing and business partners for service offerings or promotional purposes (under their own privacy policies)
  • With your consent, such as for product deliveries, social media integrations, or third-party logins
  • Within our corporate group, where it supports our legitimate interest in operating successfully
  • During business transactions, such as mergers or insolvency proceedings, and for legal compliance or to protect our rights

Third-Party Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to sites or platforms operated by third parties. By clicking these links, you leave our site. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of these external sites—please review their policies independently.

Information you post publicly (e.g., on social media or comment sections) may be visible to others. Linking to a site does not imply endorsement or partnership.

Children's Data

Our services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with data, please contact us—we will delete it immediately.

As of the date above, we do not knowingly “sell” or “share” data of minors under 16 as defined by applicable law.

Data Security and Retention

Please note: No security system is 100% secure. Emails and forms may be insecure during transmission—avoid sending sensitive data via unsecured channels.

How long we retain personal data depends on:

  • Whether you maintain an active account
  • Legal obligations we must fulfill
  • Whether data is needed for queries, warranties, or legal claims

International Data Transfers

Please be aware that we may transfer, store, and process your data in countries outside your place of residence, including the United States and the European Union.

Where required under GDPR, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms to protect your personal information.
