How We Use Your Personal Information
Depending on how you interact with us or which of the Services you use, we may use personal information for the following purposes:
- Provide, Tailor, and Improve the Services. We use your personal information to provide you with the Services, including to perform our contract with you, to process your payments, to fulfill your orders, to remember your preferences and items you are interested in, to send notifications to you related to your account, to process purchases, returns, exchanges or other transactions, to create, maintain and otherwise manage your account, to arrange for shipping, to facilitate any returns and exchanges, to enable you to post reviews, and to create a customized shopping experience for you, such as recommending products related to your purchases.

Some of this activity may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, or "targeted advertising," as those terms are defined under applicable US state privacy laws. See "Your Rights and Choices" below for how to opt out.
- Analytics and Research. We use your personal information to understand how the Services are used, to analyze trends, and to improve our products, Services, and communications. We may create aggregated or de-identified data from personal information as part of these activities.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies ("Cookies") on the Services. For specific information about the Cookies we use related to powering our store with Shopify, see https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies. The Cookies we use fall into the following categories:
- Required Cookies that perform essential website functions, such as enabling checkout and remembering your cart and preferences;
- Analytics Cookies that help us understand how you use the Services so we can improve them. These may include session replay and heatmap technologies (such as Microsoft Clarity) that record your interactions with the Services, including mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, and pages visited, in order to help us diagnose usability problems and improve the shopping experience. These tools are configured not to capture payment card details or passwords;
- Advertising Cookies that are used by us and third parties to show you ads that are relevant to you on the Services and on other websites, which may include cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising; and
- Social Media Cookies connected to social platforms and their advertising services.
Most browsers automatically accept Cookies by default, but you can choose to set your browser to remove or reject Cookies through your browser controls. Removing or blocking Cookies can affect the availability and functionality of the Services. You can also learn more about interest-based advertising, and opt out of having your web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes by participating companies, by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://www.aboutads.info/choices or the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices. Please note that Cookie-based opt-outs apply only to the specific browser and device on which they are set.
Global Privacy Control. Our website recognizes the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If you notify us of your preference through GPC, we will treat the signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and targeted advertising for the associated browser or device and, where we are able to associate the device sending the signal with an account, we will apply the opt-out request to the account as well. To learn more about Global Privacy Control, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org.
Do Not Track. Other than the Global Privacy Control, we do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals, as no universal standard for such signals has been adopted.

- With business and marketing partners, including Shopify, to provide marketing services and advertise to you. For example, we use Shopify's ad services, such as Shopify Audiences, and other third-party advertising services to support personalized advertising based on your online activity with different merchants and websites. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices.

Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services for you. In addition, to help protect, grow, and improve our business, we use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with our Store, along with other merchants and with Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may make use of personal information collected about your interactions with our store, along with other merchants, and with Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights over use of your personal information for these purposes.

Third Party Websites and Links
The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites not affiliated or controlled by us, you should review 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, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms may also be viewable by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed on the Services.
Children's Data
The Services are not intended to be used by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Security and Retention of Your Information
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide you with Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

We will respond to your request within the timeframes required under applicable law.
Notice of Financial Incentives
We may offer programs that provide benefits in exchange for personal information, which may be considered "financial incentives" under certain US state privacy laws. These currently include:
- Welcome offer. New visitors may receive a first-purchase discount in exchange for providing an email address and, optionally, a phone number for marketing communications.
- Loyalty program. Customers who join our loyalty program may earn points and rewards based on their purchases and account activity, which requires us to collect and use contact details, account information, and transaction information to administer the program.
Participation in these programs is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time by unsubscribing from marketing communications or contacting us to leave the loyalty program. We calculate the value of these incentives in good faith based on the value your personal information provides to our business, including the anticipated revenue generated by marketing to program participants and the cost of providing the discounts and rewards. We will not use personal information collected through these programs in ways that are unrelated or incompatible with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Where your personal information is transferred internationally, we take steps designed to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
