Relationship with Shopify
The Services are supported by Shopify, which collects and processes personal data relating to your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. In order to provide and improve the Services for you, the data you submit to the Services will be transmitted to, and shared with, Shopify and third parties, which may be located in countries other than your own. In addition, to help you protect, grow and improve your business, we use certain advanced Shopify features that incorporate the data and information received from you through your interactions with our store, as well as with other merchants and with Shopify. In order to provide these advanced features, Shopify may use personal data collected from your interactions with our store, as well as with other merchants and with Shopify itself. In such circumstances, Shopify is responsible for processing your personal data, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights relating to the use of your personal data for such purposes. For more information on how Shopify uses your personal data and on the rights you may have, you can consult Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy.

Third-party websites and links
The Services may include links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you open links to sites that are not affiliated with, or controlled by, us, you may be required to accept their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee, and are not responsible for, the privacy or security of such sites, nor the accuracy, truthfulness or reliability of the information they contain. Information you provide in public or semi-public contexts, including information you share on third-party social platforms, may also be viewed by other users of the Services and/or by users of those third-party platforms, without restriction on its use by us or by third parties. The fact that we include such links does not imply any endorsement on our part of the content of those platforms, nor of their owners or operators, except as disclosed within the Services.

As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we are not aware of "sharing" or "selling" (as those terms are defined under applicable law) the personal data of persons under 16 years of age.
Security and retention of data
Please note that no security measure is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "absolute security". In addition, any data you send us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you only use secure channels to communicate confidential or sensitive information to us.
How long we retain personal data depends on several factors, such as whether we need the data to maintain your account, to provide you with the Services, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes or to enforce other agreements and policies.
