For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "you" and "your" means you as the user of the services, whether you are a customer, website visitor, or another individual whose information we have collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised Privacy Policy on the Site, update the "Last updated" date and take any other steps required by applicable law.

Collection and Use of Your Personal Data

To provide and improve our services, we collect personal information about you from a variety of sources, as described below. The specific information we collect and how we use it depends on how you interact with us.

In addition to the purposes outlined below, we may use your personal information to communicate with you, enhance our services, comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms of service, and protect our platform, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

The types of personal information we collect vary based on your interactions with our Site and services. When we refer to “personal information,” we mean data that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be associated with you.

Information that you directly submit to us through our services may include:

• Contact details including your name, address, phone number, and email.
• Order information including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment confirmation, email address, and phone number.
• Account information including your username, password, security questions and other information used for account security purposes.
• Customer support information including the information you choose to include in communications with us, for example, when sending a message through the Services.

Some features of the services may require you to directly provide us with certain information about yourself. You may elect not to provide this information but doing so may prevent you from using or accessing these features.

We may also automatically collect certain information about your interaction with the services ("Usage Data"). To do this, we may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies ("Cookies”). Usage Data may include information about how you access and use our Site and your account, including device information, browser information, information about your network connection, your IP address and other information regarding your interaction with the Services.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like many websites, we use cookies on our Site. These cookies help power our store—hosted by Shopify—and enhance the functionality and performance of our Site and Services. For details on the specific cookies used by Shopify, please visit: https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.

We use cookies to:

• Operate and improve our Site and Services
• Remember your preferences and interactions
• Run analytics to better understand user behavior and optimize performance

In addition, we may allow third parties and service providers to place cookies on our Site to help personalize content, products, and advertising—both on our Site and across the web.

Most web browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Please note that blocking cookies may negatively affect your experience and could limit access to certain features or functionalities. Also, blocking cookies may not completely prevent us from sharing information with third parties, such as advertising partners.

Our Site recognizes the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which allows users to opt out of certain data uses and disclosures. If your browser or device sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of sharing and targeted advertising for that browser or device. Where possible, we will also apply this preference to your Shopify account. To learn more, visit: https://globalprivacycontrol.org.

Aside from GPC, we do not respond to other “Do Not Track” signals from browsers or devices.
