USAGE OF PERSONAL DATA

We use your Personal Data to deliver our services, which include: offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfilling orders, and keeping you informed about new products, services, and promotions.

LEGAL BASIS

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we process your Personal Data based on the following legal bases:

- Your consent;
- The execution of the contract between you and the website;
- Compliance with our legal obligations;
- Protection of your vital interests;
- Performance of a task carried out in the public interest;
- Our legitimate interests, provided they do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

DATA RETENTION

Upon placing an order through our website, we will retain your Personal Data for our records until you request its deletion. For further information on your right to deletion, please refer to the ‘Your Rights’ section below.

AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (including profiling) if such decision-making has a legal effect on you or significantly affects you.

We DO NOT engage in fully automated decision-making with a legal or significant impact using customer data.

Our service provider, Shopify, employs limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud, which does not have a legal or significant impact on you.

Services that include elements of automated decision-making consist of:

- Temporary denylisting of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions, lasting a few hours.
- Temporary denylisting of credit cards linked to denylisted IP addresses, persisting for a few days.

YOUR RIGHTS

GDPR

If you reside in the EEA, you have the right to access your Personal Data, transfer it to another service, and request corrections, updates, or deletions. To exercise these rights, please reach out to us using the contact information below.

Your Personal Data will initially be processed in Ireland and subsequently transferred outside of Europe for storage and further processing, including to Canada and the United States. For more information on how data transfers comply with the GDPR, refer to Shopify’s GDPR Whitepaper: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/privacy/GDPR.

COOKIES

Cookies are small files downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our website. We utilize various types of cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media cookies. Cookies enhance your browsing experience by allowing the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login details and region selection), so you don’t have to re-enter this information on each visit. They also provide insights on website usage, such as whether it’s your first visit or if you are a returning visitor.

The duration of a cookie on your device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies expire once you stop browsing, while persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most cookies we utilize are persistent and will expire after 30 minutes to two years from the date they are loaded onto your device.

You can manage cookies in various ways. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may negatively affect your user experience, and some parts of our website may not be fully accessible.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose to modify cookie preferences through your browser settings, typically found under “Tools” or “Preferences.” For guidance on altering your browser settings or managing cookies, visit your browser’s help section or websites like www.allaboutcookies.org.

Keep in mind that blocking cookies may not entirely prevent the sharing of information with third parties, such as advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the “Behavioral Advertising” section above.

DO NOT TRACK

Please note that due to the lack of a consistent industry standard for responding 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 periodically revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
