If you are currently located within the European Economic Area, United Kingso, or Switzerland (collectively, the “EU”), please see our EU Privacy Policy.
By visiting the Site and using our Services, you are accepting the practices described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services or visit the Site. We reserve the right to modify or amend the terms of our Privacy Policy from time to time.

Doing so is completely voluntary on your part, and you have the choice about whether and what information to disclose via your email.

Some external service providers may also collect information directly from you (for example, a payment processor may request your billing and financial information) as a third party service in accordance with their own privacy policy. Such external service provider does not share your financial information, like credit card number, with us, but it may share limited information with us related to your purchase, like your zip or postal code.
Further, we use Shopify to power our online store. You can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.
Information Shared with Our Partners. We may also share information about you with our business and promotional partners to further those interests. We also may use your Personal Information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For example:
-

We collect and share some of this information directly with our advertising partners, and in some cases through the use of cookies or other similar technologies (which you may consent to, depending on your location).
-
We use Shopify Audiences to help us show ads on other websites with our advertising partners to buyers who made purchases with other Shopify merchants and who may also be interested in what we have to offer. We also share information about your use of the Site, your purchases, and the email address associated with your purchases with Shopify Audiences, through which other Shopify merchants may make offers you may be interested in.

Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transactions . Information that we collect from our users, including Personal Information, is a business asset. If we are acquired by a third party as a result of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, or if assets related to a business unit are acquired by a third party as a result of a transaction, or if our assets are acquired by a third party in the event we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, some or all of our assets, including your Personal Information, will be disclosed or transferred to a third party acquirer in connection with the transaction.

4. Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We use a number of different cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.
Through Shopify, we use a wide variety of cookies to optimize your experience on our Site and to provide our Services.
The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as: www.allaboutcookies.org.
Blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. Additionally, because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser.
Third Party Pixels and Cookies
When you visit our Site, log in, register or open an email, cookies, ad beacons, and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with information they or others have about you, including your email address. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.getemails.com/optout.
5. How we keep your Personal Information safe
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, improperly altered or disclosed. We also limit access to your Personal Information to employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Information breach. We may post a notice on the Site if a security breach occurs and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
6. How long we will keep your Personal Information
We keep your Personal Information for as long as we need to provide the Services to you and fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We have the right to retain your Personal Information indefinitely. This is also the case for anyone that we share your information with and who carry out services on our behalf.
If you request, we will delete or anonymize your personal data so that it no longer identifies you, unless we are legally allowed or required to maintain certain Personal Information, including situations such as the following:
-
If there is an unresolved issue relating to your Account, such as an outstanding credit on your Account or an unresolved claim or dispute we will retain the necessary personal data until the issue is resolved;
-
Where we need to retain the Personal Information for our legal, tax, audit, and accounting obligations, we will retain the necessary personal data for the period required by applicable law; and/or;
-
Where necessary for our legitimate business interests such as fraud prevention or to maintain the security of our users.
7. Your rights and choices
If for any reason you are concerned that any information you provided to us is not correct and you wish to change or delete it, you have the ability to review and update your personal information to the extent we have it. If you would like to do so, please contact us as set forth below or otherwise view and update your information in your Account. You may also contact us to request access to, transfer of, or erasure of your personal information to the extent we have any. Specify the nature of your request and the information that is subject to your request.
We reserve the right not to allow access to your information or to limit your rights (e.g. if such disclosure is prohibited by law or if the rights of another individual might be violated). In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain your personal information even if you withdraw your consent or request transfer or erasure. Please note that changes or access you request may not be effective immediately. Please also note that despite any request for removal of or change to personal information, we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and there may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed or changed.
We do not engage in fully automated decision-making that has a legal or otherwise significant effect using customer data. Our processor Shopify uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you. Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:
-
Temporary blacklist of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This blacklist persists for a small number of hours.
-
Temporary blacklist of credit cards associated with blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist persists for a small number of days.
8. Legal Grounds
We rely on the following legal grounds to use your data:
-
Where it is needed to provide you with our Service.
-
Where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, such as: managing our products and services, and providing our Service to you.
-
