Relationship with Shopify
Our Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services to provide and improve those Services.
Information you submit to our store may be transmitted to Shopify and other service providers, including providers located outside your state or country of residence.
In addition, to help protect, grow, and improve our business, we may use Shopify features that incorporate information obtained from interactions with our store, other merchants, and Shopify.
Where Shopify processes personal information for its own purposes, Shopify is responsible for that processing, including responding to requests concerning those uses of personal information.

Our Services may contain links to websites or online platforms operated by third parties.

Information you share publicly or through third-party social media platforms may be visible to other users and subject to those platforms' policies.

Our Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of majority in their jurisdiction.

We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share, as those terms are defined under applicable privacy laws, the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
Security and Retention of Your Information
We take reasonable measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
