Lawful Basis For Processing & Your Rights (EUU Residents)

Lawful Basis for Processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process Personal Information under the following lawful bases:

  • Your consent;

  • The performance of the contract between you and the Site;

  • Compliance with our legal obligations;

  • To protect your vital interests;

  • To perform a task carried out in the public interest;

  • For our legitimate interests, which do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.



Your Rights

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to access the Personal Information we hold about you, to port it to a new service, and to ask that your Personal Information be corrected, updated, or erased. If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us through the contact information under "Contact Us".

Your Personal Information will be initially processed in Ireland and then will be 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, see Shopify’s GDPR Whitepaper: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/privacy/GDPR.


Automated Decision Making

We do not engage in fully automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Shopify, our service provider, may use limited automated processes for fraud prevention, such as temporary denial lists for IP addresses or payment methods associated with repeated failed transactions.


Data Retention

We retain Personal Information as long as necessary to provide our services or until you request deletion. Order information is kept for business and legal recordkeeping purposes unless erasure is requested as permitted by law.


Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. Cookies help improve your browsing experience and enable essential site functionality, such as allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login 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, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.

Cookies may be session-based or persistent, remaining on your device from 30 minutes up to two years unless deleted. You may manage cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

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

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. For 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 such sites as www.allaboutcookies.org.

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

Because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data practices when such signals are detected.
