Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and optimise the Services. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify, as well as with third parties that may be located in countries other than the one where you live, in order to provide and optimise the Services. In addition, to help protect, grow and improve our business, we use certain enhanced Shopify features that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with our Store, as well as with other merchants and with Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may make use of personal information collected about your interactions with our store, as well as with other merchants and with Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights over the use of your personal information for these purposes.
