  • Send you service notifications by email or sms, like as order updates, so you know the status of your order and when your package is coming.

  • Take payment, and issue refunds.
  • To quickly process your transaction.

Protecting your information

We want to keep your personal information safe. That’s why your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. When you place an order or access your personal information, we use a secure server to process your data. This means all sensitive or credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted to only be accessed as stated above. 


Sharing your information

Your information may be shared for specific purposes with the following data processors: Shopify, Google Analytics, Stripe, Paypal, Gmail, Calendly, Klaviyo, Aftership, Judge.me, Privy, Gorgias and the postal services we use. You can find a detailed description of what data we share why in our Data processors PDF file.


Keeping your information

We’ll hold on to your information for as long as you have your account, or as long as is needed to be able to provide the services to you, or in the case of any contact you may have with our customer service team for as long as is necessary to provide support, for reporting and trend analysis.  


Cookies


We use cookies on our website. For instance, our service providers use cookies to remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They're also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. 


We may contract third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics to assist us in better understanding site visitors. These service providers are only permitted to use the information collected on our behalf to help us conduct and improve our business. 


You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of the services will not function properly. 


Third party providers and links


Our store is built using Shopify. In general, this third-party provider will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to sell our products and services to you. You can see the details of the information collected and used by third party providers in the table above. However, all third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to read their privacy statements to understand how they use the information we are required to provide to them. 


We may also include third party links on the website. When you click on these links, they will direct you away from this website. These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies, so we have no responsibility or liability for the content and privacy practices of other sites.
