4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our store, remember preferences, analyze site traffic, personalize content, measure advertising, and support marketing.

Some cookies are necessary for website functionality, cart, checkout, account access, and security. Other cookies help us understand performance or deliver relevant ads.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through our cookie banner or privacy preferences tool. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality, including cart, checkout, customer account, or personalization features.

5. Advertising and Analytics

We may use personal information, cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to help us understand how customers use our Site, measure ad performance, and show relevant ads on platforms such as Meta, Google, TikTok, Pinterest, or other advertising partners.

Depending on your location and applicable law, this activity may be considered “targeted advertising,” “sharing,” or a “sale” of personal information. Where required, you may have the right to opt out of certain targeted advertising or sale/share activities.

You may also opt out of certain targeted advertising through platform-level controls, such as:

  • Facebook/Meta ad settings;
  • Google ad settings;
  • Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tools;
  • other advertising platform preference tools.

6. Email and SMS Marketing

If you sign up for email or SMS marketing, we may use your contact information to send product updates, launch announcements, cart reminders, offers, and other marketing messages.

You can unsubscribe from emails by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails. You can opt out of SMS messages by following the instructions in the text message, such as replying STOP.

7. Customer Reviews and User-Submitted Content

If you submit a review, photo, video, testimonial, or other content, we may display the content you submit along with your first name, initials, or other information you choose to include, subject to our review platform settings and applicable law.

If you submit photos, videos, or other information for customer support, damaged item claims, missing item claims, or order assistance, we may use that information to review and resolve your request.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or to opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or profiling activities. You may also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

9. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

Because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to “Do Not Track” browser signals, we do not currently respond to those signals.

Where required by applicable law, we will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, in accordance with applicable requirements.

10. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, fulfill orders, maintain business records, comply with legal, tax, accounting, and reporting obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.

When information is no longer needed, we will delete, anonymize, or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. International Data Transfers

Your personal information may be processed and stored in the United States, Canada, and other countries where we or our service providers operate. These countries may have privacy laws that differ from those in your location.

13. Minors

Our Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps to delete it.
