Even after you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may continue sending non-promotional communications concerning your orders, account, returns, security, policy updates, or other transactions.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, web pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for the following purposes:

Essential Technologies

These technologies are necessary to operate the website, maintain security, remember cart contents, process checkout, authenticate customer accounts, prevent fraud, and provide requested features.

Functional Technologies

These technologies help remember preferences and provide enhanced website functionality.

Analytics Technologies

These technologies help us understand how visitors find and use our website, which products and pages are viewed, and how our Services perform.

Advertising Technologies

Where enabled, these technologies may help us measure advertising performance, create audiences, personalize advertisements, and display advertising based on your activity on our website or other websites.

Depending on your location, we may request consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. You may be able to manage your choices through our cookie banner, Cookie Preferences tool, or Your Privacy Choices link, where available.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality, customer accounts, saved carts, checkout, or other Services.

Because there is not a universally accepted standard for browser-based “Do Not Track” signals, we do not respond to all Do Not Track signals in the same manner. Where required by applicable law and supported by our configured privacy tools, we may recognize legally valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

5. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

Shopify

Our online store is hosted and supported by Shopify. Shopify processes personal information when you visit our store, create an account, browse products, place products in your cart, make a purchase, use Shop Pay, or interact with Shopify’s consumer services.

Depending on the Shopify services and settings enabled for our store, Shopify may process information from your interactions with our store, other Shopify merchants, and Shopify services to provide checkout, fraud prevention, analytics, personalization, advertising, and other enhanced commerce services.

You may review Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy and use Shopify’s privacy portal to learn more about Shopify’s processing and available privacy choices.

Advertising and Analytics Partners

Where enabled and permitted by law, we may disclose online activity, device information, cookie identifiers, purchase activity, or related information to advertising and analytics providers.

Some privacy laws may define certain advertising-related disclosures as a “sale,” “sharing,” or processing for “targeted advertising,” even when no money is exchanged.

At Your Direction

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or provide your consent.

6. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.

However, depending on the technologies and advertising services enabled on our website, disclosures involving cookies, online activity, and advertising identifiers may be considered “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws.

Where required, you may opt out by:

Using the Your Privacy Choices link or data-sharing opt-out page available on our website.
Adjusting your selections through our Cookie Preferences tool.
Sending a request to the privacy email address listed below.
Activating a legally recognized opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, where supported.

Your opt-out may apply only to the browser and device from which the choice was submitted. You may need to repeat your selection on other browsers or devices.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age for targeted advertising.

7. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

Provide the Services.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, legal requirements, contractual obligations, and relevant limitation periods.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete it, anonymize it, or retain it in an aggregated form that does not reasonably identify an individual.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

However, no website, network, storage system, or method of Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and should notify us if you believe your account or personal information has been compromised.

9. Your Privacy Rights

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request where permitted by law. We may require evidence that the agent has authority to act on your behalf and may ask you to verify your identity directly.

Where applicable, instructions for appealing a denied request will be included in our response.
