How We Disclose Personal Data
In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal data to third parties for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:
With Shopify, vendors and other third parties who perform services on our behalf, such as IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, storage, fulfilment and shipping.
With business and marketing partners to provide you with services and marketing advertisements. For example, we use Shopify to provide personalised advertising through third-party services based on your online activity with different merchants and websites. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy policies. Depending on where you reside, you may have the right to ask us not to share your information for personalised advertising and marketing based on your online activity with different merchants and websites.
When you request or authorise us to disclose certain information to third parties, for example to ship your products, or when you use social media widgets or login integrations.
With our affiliates or within our corporate group.
In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger or bankruptcy; to comply with legal obligations, including responding to subpoenas, search warrants and similar requests; to enforce our Terms and Conditions 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 powered by Shopify, which collects and processes personal data relating to your access and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you.
In order to provide and improve the Services for you, the information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and third parties that may be located in countries other than your own.
In addition, to help protect, grow and improve our business, we use certain advanced Shopify features that incorporate data and information received from you through your interactions with our store, as well as with other merchants and Shopify.
To provide these advanced features, Shopify may use personal data collected from your interactions with our store, other merchants and Shopify itself. In such circumstances, Shopify is responsible for processing your personal data, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights relating to the use of your personal data for these purposes.
For more information about how Shopify uses your personal data and the rights you may have, you can review Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you reside, you may exercise certain rights relating to your personal data through Shopify’s privacy portal.
Third-Party Websites and Links
The Services may contain links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you open links to sites that are not affiliated with or controlled by us, you may need to accept their privacy policies, security practices and other terms and conditions.
We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, nor for the accuracy, truthfulness or reliability of the information contained on them.
Information that you provide in public or semi-public areas, including information you share on third-party social media platforms, may also be viewed by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms, without restriction as to its use by us or third parties.
The inclusion of such links does not imply our endorsement of the content of those platforms or their owners or operators, except as disclosed 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 under the age of majority in your jurisdiction.
If you are a parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with personal data, you may contact us using the contact details below to request its deletion.
As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we are not aware of any “sharing” or “sale”, as those terms are defined under applicable laws, of personal data relating to individuals under the age of 16.
Security and Data Retention
Please note that no security measure is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “absolute security”. In addition, information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you use only secure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
The length of time for which we retain personal data depends on several factors, such as whether we need the data to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other contracts and policies.
