We use Device Information (particularly your IP address) that we collect to assess potential fraud or risks and, more generally, to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

ARTICLE 3 – SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We share your Personal Information with third parties who assist us in using it for the purposes described above. For example, we use Shopify to host our online store – for more information on how Shopify uses your Personal Information, please see the following page: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. We also use Google Analytics to better understand how our customers use the Site – for more information on how Google uses your Personal Information, please see the following page: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Your personal data may be shared with the following entities and/or for the following purposes:
- External service providers: We may share your personal data with external service providers to offer you our services.
- Business partners: We may share your personal data with our business partners.
- Law enforcement, judicial, or administrative authorities: We may disclose your personal data when required by law, for example, in response to a court order.
- Protection of our rights: We may also disclose your personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other legal request we receive, or to protect our rights or if you violate our Terms of Sale and Use.
Generally, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase transactions.
Regarding these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so that you can understand how they will handle your personal information.
It should be noted that some providers may be located in or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than you or us. So if you decide to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party provider, your information may then be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or where its facilities are located.
For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information used to complete the transaction may be disclosed under U.S. legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Sale and Use.
