Your Consent
Visitors in the United States and Canada see a cookie banner when they first visit our Site. Analytics and advertising technologies do not load until you choose to accept them. Technologies needed for the Site to work, such as the shopping cart, checkout and security tools, are not affected. You can accept, reject, or choose by category, and you can change your choice at any time by clicking the cookie icon on our Site. Rejecting cookies does not stop you from shopping with us.
Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
Under California and other U.S. state privacy laws, allowing advertising partners to collect information through cookies and pixels on our Site may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. In the preceding 12 months, we have made the following categories of personal information available to advertising and marketing partners for advertising and marketing purposes:
| Category of personal information | Categories of recipients |
|---|---|
| Identifiers, such as IP address, cookie and device identifiers, and email address or phone number when you sign up for marketing | Advertising, marketing and affiliate partners |

We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, and we do not use it to infer characteristics about you.
Your Privacy Choices
You can opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for targeted advertising by rejecting advertising cookies on our banner, by changing your choice through the cookie icon, or by visiting our Your Privacy Choices page. We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal: if your browser sends it, we treat it as a request to opt out of sale and sharing for that browser and device, and if we can associate the device with a Shopify account, we apply the opt-out to the account as well. To learn more, visit globalprivacycontrol.org. Other than GPC, we do not recognize other “Do Not Track” signals.
Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify, as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside. To help protect, grow and improve our business, we use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data from your interactions with our store, other merchants and Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights over its use for these purposes. To learn more, visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy. Depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights through the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Third Party Websites and Links
The Services may link to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites we do not control, please review their privacy and security policies and other terms. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness or reliability of their information. Information you share on public or semi-public venues, including third-party social networks, may be viewable by other users. Including a link does not by itself imply endorsement.
Children’s Data
The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with personal information, contact us using the details below to request that it be deleted. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” (as defined in applicable law) personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
Security and Retention of Your Information
No security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” Information you send to us may not be secure while in transit, so please do not use insecure channels to send sensitive or confidential information. How long we retain your personal information depends on factors such as whether we need it to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements and policies.
