Service Providers and Technology Partners

AWS as a Service Provider

Our Site is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which means that data you provide to us, including personal information, is processed and stored on AWS servers. AWS acts as our data processor and provides the technical infrastructure necessary to deliver our Services. While AWS may process your data, they do not have rights to use your personal information beyond what is necessary to provide their services to us.

Shopify as a Processing Partner

We use Shopify for order processing services. When you make a purchase, certain personal information (such as name, shipping address, payment information) is shared with Shopify to process your order.

Convert your IP address to geographic coordinates
To detect VPN/proxy usage for security purposes

Ipgeolocation.io processes your IP address to return geographic information and may retain certain data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we "share" or "sell" (as those terms are defined in applicable law) personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Security and Retention of Your Information

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
