We share information only as needed to operate our business, fulfill orders, provide services, comply with law, protect rights, prevent fraud, or support legitimate business purposes.

6. Shopify and Third-Party Services

Our store is powered by Shopify.

  • Enforce our agreements and policies

The length of time we keep information depends on the type of information, the purpose for collection, legal requirements, and business needs.
