This may also include using your personal data to better adapt and improve the Services.
• Marketing and advertising. We use your personal data for marketing and advertising purposes, for example to send marketing and advertising communications via email, SMS, or mail and to show you online advertisements for products or services for the Services or other websites, also based on items you have previously purchased or placed in your cart, as well as other activities related to the Services.
• Security and fraud prevention. We use your personal data to authenticate your account, provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect, investigate, or take action regarding potential fraudulent, illegal, unsafe, or malicious activities, protect public safety, and ensure the security of our Services. If you choose to use the Services and register an account, you are responsible for protecting your account login details.

How do we disclose personal data?

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal data to third parties for legitimate purposes in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:

• At Shopify, these are providers and other third parties that perform services on our behalf (e.g., IT management, payment processing, data analysis, customer support, cloud storage, fulfillment, and shipping).
• We share personal data with business and marketing partners who provide marketing services to you and show you advertisements. For example, we use Shopify to support personalized advertising with third-party services based on your online activities at various merchants and websites. Our business and marketing partners use your data in accordance with their own privacy policies. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to instruct us not to share information about you in order to show you targeted advertising and marketing based on your online activities at various merchants and websites.
• When you request us or otherwise give your consent to share certain information with third parties, for example to deliver products to you, or when you use social media widgets or login integrations.
• We share personal data with our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.
• In connection with a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy, to comply with applicable legal obligations (including responding to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests), to enforce applicable terms of service or policies, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, whereby Shopify collects and processes personal data about your access to and use of the Services to provide and improve the Services for you. Data you submit to the Services will be shared with Shopify as well as third parties who may be located in countries other than your country of residence to provide and improve the Services for you. To protect, expand, and improve our business, we also use certain advanced Shopify features that incorporate data and information from your interactions with our shop, other merchants, and Shopify. To provide these advanced features, Shopify may use personal data collected about your interactions with our shop, other merchants, and Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for processing your personal data, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights regarding the use of your personal data for these purposes. For more information on how Shopify uses your personal data and your rights, please see the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you reside, you can exercise certain rights regarding your personal data listed here at the Link to the Shopify Privacy Portal.

Third-party websites and links

The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to websites that are not affiliate websites or are not controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such websites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information located on these websites. Information you provide in public or semi-public places, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms, can also be viewed by other users of the Services and/or users of these third-party platforms, without restrictions regarding their use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not imply that we endorse the content of these platforms or their owners or operators unless expressly mentioned in the Services.

Children's data

The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children who are not yet of legal age in your country. 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 provided below to request the deletion of this data. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we have no knowledge of "disclosing" or "selling" personal data of persons under 16 years of age (as defined by applicable law).

Security and retention of your data

Please note that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we therefore cannot guarantee "perfect security." Furthermore, information you send us may also be exposed to risks during transmission. We recommend that you do not use insecure channels when transmitting sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain your personal data depends on various factors. These include, for example, whether we need the data to manage your account, provide Services to you, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.
