Text Marketing (if applicable):

With your permission, we may send text messages about our store, new products, and other updates, including checkout reminders. Webhooks will be used to trigger these reminders.

Lawful Basis

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we process your 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.

Retention

We will retain your Personal Information for our records unless and until you ask us to erase this information. For more information on your right of erasure, see the ‘Your rights’ section below.

Automatic Decision-Making

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (including profiling) that has a legal or otherwise significant effect on you. We do not engage in fully automated decision-making that has a legal or otherwise significant effect using customer data. Our processor Shopify uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud, which does not have a legal or significant effect on you.
