Our 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 them. Information you submit may be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and third parties, which may be located in countries other than where you reside.
We also use Shopify's enhanced features, which draw on data from your interactions with our store, other merchants, and Shopify. For these purposes, Shopify is responsible for processing your personal information, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights.

Third-party websites
The Services may link to websites or platforms operated by third parties. If you follow these links, please review their own privacy and security policies — we don't guarantee or take responsibility for the practices of sites we don't control. Anything you share on public or semi-public platforms may be viewable by others without limitation on its further use.
Children's data
The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you're the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with personal information, contact us to request its deletion. As of the effective date of this policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we "share" or "sell" personal information of individuals under 16.
Security and retention
No security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and information sent to us may not be secure in transit — please avoid unsecure channels for sensitive or confidential communications.
How long we retain your information depends on factors such as whether we need it to maintain your account, provide the Services, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
