Relationship with Shopify
Our Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services. Information you submit may be shared with Shopify and third parties in other countries to provide and improve the Services. Shopify may also use data from your interactions with our store alongside data from other merchants to provide enhanced features. In these cases, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information. To learn more, visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy or the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Third Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and recommend you review their policies before providing any personal information.
Children
Our Services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us and we will delete it. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16.
Security and Retention
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, but no security system is completely impenetrable. We recommend you avoid sharing sensitive information over unsecured channels. We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.
In the event of a data breach likely to result in serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
