In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights.

The Services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us for deletion. We do not sell or share personal information of individuals under 16.
Security & Retention
No security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We recommend you do not use unsecured channels to send sensitive information. How long we retain your data depends on your account, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and applicable contracts.
International Transfers
We may transfer, store, and process your personal information outside the country you live in. Transfers out of the EEA or UK rely on recognised mechanisms such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent UK contracts.

Our Services may link to third-party websites not affiliated with or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites. Information you share on public or social networking platforms may be viewable by others without limitation. Our inclusion of such links does not imply endorsement.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised policy on this website and update the "Last updated" date. Notice will be provided as required by applicable law.
