We collect information to fulfill your orders, communicate with you, improve our service, and meet our legal obligations. [7, 9]

  • Information you provide – name, address, contact info, order details, and support correspondence. [13–16]
  • Automatically collected data – device type, browser, IP address, and usage data via cookies and similar tools. [19–21]
  • From third parties – like Shopify and payment providers; we may also receive data through advertising or analytics tools. [22–24]


How It’s Used

  • To fulfill orders – processing payments, shipping, returns, and customer support. [27]
  • To personalize marketing – via email, mail, and web ads. [30, 31]
  • To safeguard your experience – we monitor for fraud and encourage strong password security. [32, 33, 35]
  • To improve the Site – including customer service and site performance. [36, 37]


Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enable site functionality, analyze performance, and serve relevant ads. [38–40] You can adjust your preferences in your browser, though disabling cookies may affect your experience. [41, 42] We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals, but not “Do Not Track” at this time. [44, 45, 47]

 

When Information Is Shared

We may share your information with:

  • Trusted service providers (shipping, IT, checkout, etc.) [49]
  • Marketing and business partners, who may use it under their own policies [50, 51]
  • Platforms you interact with (e.g., social media plugins), or when you give us permission [52]
  • Affiliates and in connection with mergers or legal obligations [53, 54]

The types of data shared may include identifiers, shopping behavior, and device data. [56] We do not sell or share sensitive personal information without consent. [57] However, we have “sold” or “shared” data (e.g., usage or purchase behavior) with advertising partners in the last 12 months. [58, 59]
