We respect your privacy and understand that you have a right to know why we collect your personal information and what we do with it. This Privacy Policy applies to information that identifies you as a person (“Personal Information”) that we collect through our Website (as defined below) as well as information we may collect offline.

This policy describes the type of information we collect from you and/or that you may provide us when you visit and/or use this website and/or any of our mobile applications (individually or collectively, “Website”). “You/your/user(s)” means you as a user of our Website.

1. CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device ("Personal Information").

However, please note that not accepting cookies may make certain features of our Website unavailable or difficult to use.

  3. Information We Obtain From Third Parties: We may obtain Personal Information from public sources or third parties for marketing and business purposes, provided they have acquired it in compliance with applicable laws and have the legal authority to provide it to us.

We are committed to maintaining your trust and do not sell your Personal Information to any third parties. We will not provide your Personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as permitted by applicable law.


  1. Service Providers (Outsourcing)

We may outsource the handling of Personal Information, in whole or in part, to third-party service providers (such as Shopify, and shipping carriers) to help us operate our Website and bring you our products and services. For example, we may share your information to:

  1. Manage a database of customer information and host our Website

When outsourcing, we contractually prohibit these service providers from retaining, using, or disclosing your Personal Information for any purpose other than performing the specified services, and we establish a framework to ensure that information is properly managed.

We may disclose your Personal Information without prior consent in the following cases:

  1. Where based on the APPI or other applicable laws and regulations. 

  2. Where necessary to protect a person’s life, body, or property, and it is difficult to obtain your consent.

4. CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS

To provide our products and services globally, we utilize cloud-based platforms including Shopify. As a result, your Personal Information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in jurisdictions outside of your country of residence, including but not limited to the United States, Canada, and Japan. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from those of your home country. By explicitly agreeing to this Privacy Policy at the time of account creation or checkout, you consent to such cross-border transfers.

6. DE-IDENTIFIED, ANONYMIZED, OR AGGREGATE DATA

We may use Personal Information to generate and use de-identified, anonymized, or aggregate data for various purposes (“De-Identified Data”). De-Identified Data cannot reasonably be used to identify you. We will maintain and use De-Identified Data only in de-identified, anonymous, or aggregate form and will not attempt to re-identify such data, except as permitted by applicable law.


7. TARGETED ADVERTISING AND REMARKETING

You may see advertisements for our products/services on other websites and mobile applications because we work with third party advertisers to engage in remarketing and retargeting activities. Through our relationships with these advertisers, we can target messaging to our users by interest-based, demographic, contextual, and other means. These third party advertisers track your online activities over time and across websites and mobile applications by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of third-party cookies, web server logs, and web beacons. They use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information our advertising partners may collect includes data about your visits to websites and mobile applications that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on our Website and on third-party websites and mobile applications that participate in the advertising networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. 


8. OTHER WEBSITES

Our Website may contain links or references to websites operated by third parties, or you may have come to our Website using a link found in another website. This does not mean that we endorse these websites or the goods or services they provide. We do not make any representations or warranties about any website that may be linked to the Website. Such other websites are independent from us, and we have no control over, or responsibility for, their information, products or activities. Our privacy practices may differ from those of these other websites. If you provide Personal Information at one of these third party websites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that website, not our Privacy Policy. Please make sure you understand the other website's privacy policy before providing such website with any Personal Information.

If you use a third-party website or application to access our Website or your account on our Website, your activities on such third-party sites or apps are governed by the privacy practices of those sites or apps. The privacy policies of other sites and apps may differ significantly from ours, and we have no control over the operation of those sites or apps or the manner in which the collect, store, or process data.


9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY AND AGE REQUIREMENTS

Our Website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose Personal Information from anyone under 13 years of age. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records immediately.

Furthermore, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction of residence) to register for an account or make a purchase on our Website. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you may only use our Website, register for an account, or provide Personal Information with the explicit involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.


10.SECURITY

We strive to keep your Personal Information private and safe. We implement commercially reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures designed to protect your Personal Information. These steps include limiting the number of people who have physical access to database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access.

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we cannot guarantee absolute security and shall not be liable for any unauthorized access, data breaches, or loss of privacy arising from causes or events beyond our reasonable control. This includes, without limitation, your own act or omission, corruption of storage media, defects in third-party data security products or services, power failures, natural phenomena, hacking, sabotage, or terrorism, and we are not responsible for the unauthorized circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
