Third Party Websites and Links

Our Site 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.

If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the contact details set out below to request that it be deleted.

Security and Retention of Your Information

No security measures are perfect or impenetrable, thus 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.  How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

We may also use Shopify’s Ad Services.  In such case, you may have a right to direct us not to "sell" or "share" your personal information or to opt out of the processing of your personal information for purposes considered to be "targeted advertising", as defined in applicable privacy laws. Please note that if you visit our Site with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, depending on where you are, we will automatically treat this as a request to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of information for the device and browser that you use to visit the Site.  To restrict Shopify merchants that use these ad services from using your personal information, please visit Privacy controls | Control how Shopify uses your data.
