Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information regarding your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve them.

To provide and improve the Services, the information you submit through them will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and third parties that may be located in countries other than your own.

Additionally, to help protect, develop, and improve our business, we use certain advanced Shopify features that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with our store, other merchants, and the Shopify platform itself.

To provide these advanced features, Shopify may use personal information collected from your interactions with our store, other merchants, and the Shopify platform.

In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for processing your personal information, including responding to requests to exercise your rights regarding the use of such information for these purposes.

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 not affiliated with or controlled by us, we recommend that you review their privacy and security policies, as well as their other terms and conditions.

We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of these websites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information they contain.

Information you provide in public or semi-public spaces, including information shared on third-party social media platforms, may also be visible to other users of the Services and users of those third-party platforms, without restrictions on its use by us or third parties.

The inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply our endorsement of the content of these platforms or their owners or operators, unless expressly stated otherwise in the Services.

Children's Data

The Services are not intended for use by minors, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals who are considered minors under the applicable laws of their jurisdiction.

If you are a parent or legal guardian of a minor who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the details provided below to request its deletion.

Security and Retention of Your Information

Please note that no security measure is perfect or infallible, and we cannot guarantee "absolute security."

Additionally, information you send to us may not be protected during transmission. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to send us sensitive or confidential information.

The length of time we retain your personal information depends on several factors, including the need to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.
