Sharing Personal Information

We share your personal information with service providers to help us provide our services and fulfil our contracts with you, as described above. For example:

• We use Shopify to power our online store. You can read more about how Shopify uses your personal information.
• We may share your personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Behavioural Advertising

As described above, we use your personal information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For example:

• We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site. You can read more about how Google uses your personal information. You can also opt out of Google Analytics.
• We share information about your use of the Site, your purchases and your interaction with our ads on other websites with our advertising partners. 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.

For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) educational page.

Using Personal Information

We use your personal information to provide our services to you, which includes: offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfillment of your order, and keeping you up to date on new products, services and offers.

Retention

When you place an order through the Site, we will retain your personal information for our records unless and until you ask us to erase this information.

Automatic Decision Making

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision making (which includes profiling), when that decision making has a legal effect on you or otherwise significantly affects you.

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.

If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us through the contact information above. 

If you would like to designate an authorised agent to submit these requests on your behalf, please contact us at the email address above.

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 log in 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, e.g., whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.

We use the following cookies to optimise your experience on our Site and to provide our services.

Cookies Necessary for the Functioning of the Store

Reporting and Analytics

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. 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 sites such as All About Cookies.

Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties, such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the “Behavioural Advertising” section above.

Do Not Track

Please note that 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.

Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons.

Complaints

As noted above, if you would like to make a complaint, please contact us by email using the details provided under “Contact Us” above.
