Our Relationship with Shopify
Because Shopify hosts our Services, they collect and process data regarding your usage to help us improve your experience. Your data may be transmitted to Shopify and their third-party affiliates, which may be located internationally. Shopify also uses data across its merchant network to power enhanced features. In these cases, Shopify acts as a data controller. You can learn more by reviewing the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and manage your data via the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external platforms. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. Any information you share on public forums or social media platforms may be viewed by others.
Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not designed for children. We do not knowingly collect, share, or sell data from individuals under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (or under 16 years of age). Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal data can contact us to request its deletion.
Security and Data Retention
While we strive to protect your data, no security system is completely impenetrable. Avoid sending highly sensitive information through unsecure channels. We retain your data only as long as necessary to maintain your account, provide Services, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
-
Access/Know: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
-
Delete: Request the removal of your personal information.
-
Correct: Ask us to fix inaccurate data.

Portability: Have your data transferred to a third party.

Manage Communications: Unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time (you will still receive transactional emails regarding your orders).
For UK and EEA Residents: In addition to the above, you have the right to:
-
Object/Restrict: Ask us to limit or halt certain data processing.

Withdraw Consent: Revoke previously granted consent without affecting past processing.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. We may require identity verification or authorized agent proof before processing requests.

If you are dissatisfied with our data practices, please contact us first. Depending on your region, you may also have the right to appeal our decisions or lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (DPA).
International Transfers
Your data may be processed and stored outside your home country. For transfers outside the UK or EEA, we rely on approved mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure your data receives adequate protection.
