Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal data about how you access and use the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information that you provide in the Services is transferred to Shopify and shared with it and with third parties that may be located in a country other than your country of residence, in order to provide and improve the Services for you. In addition, in order to protect, grow and improve our business, we use certain enhanced features of Shopify that include information obtained from your interactions with our store, other merchants and Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may use personal data that has been collected from your interactions with our store, other merchants and Shopify. In these cases, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal data, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights concerning the use of your personal data for these purposes. You can find out more about how Shopify uses your personal data and what rights you may have by reading the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights concerning your personal data in the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Third-Party Websites and Links
The Services may contain links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to websites that are neither affiliated with nor controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms. We give no guarantees regarding, and are not responsible for, the privacy or security of such websites, including the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information found on them. Information that you provide in public or semi-public forums, including information that you share on third-party social media platforms, may also be visible to other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms, without limitation as to how we or any third party may use it. Our inclusion of such links does not, in itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, unless otherwise stated in the Services.
Children’s Personal Data
The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children who have not reached the age of majority in your country of residence. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal data, you can contact us using the contact details set out below and request that the data be deleted. As of the “Last updated” date of this Privacy Policy, we have no actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” (as those terms are defined in applicable law) personal data of persons under 16 years of age.
Security and Retention of Your Information
Please note that no security measure is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security”. In addition, information that you send to us may be unprotected during transmission. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to send us sensitive or confidential information.
How long we retain your personal data depends on various factors, for example whether we need the data to maintain your account, to provide the Services to you, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes or to enforce other applicable agreements and policies.

If we transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or equivalent agreements issued by the competent authority of the United Kingdom, as applicable, unless the transfer is to a country that has been found to provide an adequate level of data protection.
