As a result, Shopify may collect and process personal information
when you visit or interact with our store,
including information necessary to provide ecommerce,
security, analytics, personalization,

and services.
5. Cookies & Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies,
pixels, tags, web beacons, software development kits,
and similar technologies to operate our website,
remember preferences, understand website activity,
measure performance, provide analytics,
and support marketing and advertising.
Depending on your location and our settings,
you may be able to manage certain cookie
and tracking preferences through the privacy controls
made available on our website.
Your browser may also provide controls that allow you

6. Analytics, Advertising & Data Sharing
We may work with service providers,
analytics providers, advertising partners,
and other third parties that help us understand
how customers use our website,
measure advertising performance,
and provide or improve marketing.
Depending on the technologies used,
your interactions with our website,
and the laws that apply where you live,
certain disclosures of personal information
for advertising purposes may be considered
a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising”
under applicable privacy laws.
Where required, eligible users may opt out
of these activities using the privacy
or data-sharing controls provided on our website.
We do not knowingly sell personal information
in the traditional sense of exchanging customer information
directly for monetary payment.
However, certain advertising or data-sharing activities
may be legally defined as a “sale” or “sharing”
under some privacy laws.

investigate fraud or security incidents,
or in connection with a business transaction
such as a merger, acquisition, financing,
reorganization, or sale of assets.

the type of information,
the purpose for which it was collected,
and applicable legal requirements.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative,
technical, and organizational safeguards
designed to protect personal information.
However, no method of transmission over the internet
