4. How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients, as necessary for the purposes described above:
A. Shopify and E-Commerce Providers
Shopify hosts and supports our online store and may process information needed to provide its platform and related services.
B. Payment Providers
Payment processors and payment service providers process transactions, prevent fraud, and facilitate refunds.
C. Shipping and Fulfillment Providers
Carriers, warehouses, fulfillment partners, and logistics providers may receive your name, delivery address, contact details, and order information needed to fulfill and deliver your purchase.
D. Technology, Analytics, and Customer-Service Providers
We may use service providers for website hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, customer support, and related operational functions.
E. Advertising and Marketing Partners
If we use advertising, analytics, social media, or remarketing services, certain information may be disclosed to those providers in accordance with our settings and applicable law.
Some disclosures may qualify as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising or as a “sale” or “sharing” under certain state privacy laws, depending on the technology and arrangement involved.
F. Legal and Business Transactions
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, investigate fraud, or support a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or transfer of business assets.
We do not promise that every recipient acts solely as our service provider. Some providers may process information under their own privacy terms or as separate controllers where permitted by law.
5. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
We do not sell personal information for money as a general business practice.
However, certain advertising or tracking technologies may constitute “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable state privacy laws, even if no money changes hands.
[VERIFY BEFORE PUBLISHING: Review all Shopify privacy settings, pixels, analytics tools, advertising integrations, and third-party apps. Confirm whether any data processing constitutes sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law.]
Where required, we will provide applicable opt-out rights and mechanisms, including processing valid browser-based opt-out preference signals where legally required.
To submit a privacy request or advertising opt-out request, contact us using the email address in Section 12.
6. Email Marketing and Promotional Messages
If you subscribe to promotional emails, we may use your email address to send news, product information, offers, and other marketing communications in accordance with applicable law.
You may unsubscribe by using the unsubscribe link in a marketing email or by contacting us.
Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not prevent us from sending non-promotional communications necessary to fulfill an order, respond to your request, or meet legal obligations.
[VERIFY BEFORE PUBLISHING: Describe SMS marketing only if the store actually collects mobile marketing consent and sends text messages. If SMS is used, add the required program terms, consent disclosures, and opt-out instructions.]
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including order fulfillment, customer service, accounting, tax compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal obligations.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, applicable legal requirements, and operational needs.
When personal information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law and our retention procedures.
Some records may need to be retained for a period required by law or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.
No method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
If a data breach occurs, we will provide notices or take other actions when and as required by applicable law.
