Relationship with Shopify
Our Services are powered by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information to deliver and improve the Services. Information you provide may be transmitted to Shopify and third parties, potentially in countries other than your own, to support our operations. Shopify may also use data from your interactions with our store and other merchants to enhance its features. Shopify acts as a data processor for certain functions, and you can learn more about their practices at Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy. To exercise rights related to Shopify’s processing, visit the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Third-Party Websites and Links
Our Services may include links to third-party websites or platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of these sites, and you should review their policies. Information shared on public or semi-public platforms, including third-party social media, may be visible to others without restriction. Links to third-party sites do not imply endorsement unless explicitly stated.

Security and Retention
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, but no system is entirely secure.
