Our Relationship With Shopify

Our store is hosted by Shopify, which processes personal information to provide and support the Site.

Depending on the Shopify services enabled for our store, Shopify may also process information for its own purposes, including improving services, personalization, and advertising. Where Shopify Network Intelligence is enabled, this may involve information about interactions with our store and other merchants.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to support shopping carts, checkout, security, customer preferences, and store functionality. Depending on the tools enabled, these technologies may also support analytics, personalization, and advertising.

Where required, we request consent before using non-essential cookies. You can manage your choices through the cookie controls provided on the Site, where available, and through your browser settings.

Blocking certain cookies may affect features such as your cart, account access, or checkout.

Marketing and Advertising Choices

You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link in those messages or by contacting us. We may still send messages necessary to service your order or respond to your requests.

Some privacy laws treat certain advertising-related disclosures as a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising. Where applicable, you may opt out using the privacy controls provided on the Site or by contacting us. We honor legally required browser-based opt-out signals, including Global Privacy Control, where applicable.

Retention and Security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including servicing orders, maintaining required records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

International Processing

We operate in Canada. Shopify and our other service providers may process or store personal information in Canada, the United States, or other countries.

Information processed outside your country may be subject to different privacy laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

  • Access or obtain a copy of your personal information.

  • Correct inaccurate information.

  • Request deletion of personal information.

  • Restrict or object to certain processing.

  • Receive certain information in a portable format.

  • Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

  • Opt out of certain advertising-related processing.

  • Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, where applicable.

These rights are subject to legal exceptions. For example, we may need to retain transaction records for tax or accounting purposes.

If European Economic Area or UK privacy laws apply, our legal bases may include performing a contract, complying with legal obligations, pursuing legitimate interests, and obtaining consent where required. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
