How do we use your personal information? 

We use your personal Information to provide our services to you, which includes: offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfilment of your order, and keeping you up to date on new products, services, and offers.

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfil any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to: 

- Communicate with you; 

- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimise 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). 


Lawful basis

Pursuant to 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.

Sharing you personal Information 

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store--you can read more about how Shopify uses your Personal Information here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. We also use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site -- you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. 

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

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 (which includes profiling), when that decision-making has a legal effect on you or otherwise significantly affects you.

We MAY 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 that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you.

Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:

  • Temporary blacklist of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This blacklist persists for a small number of hours.
  • Temporary blacklist of credit cards associated with blacklisted IP addresses. This blacklist persists for a small number of days.

Selling personal information

Our Site sells Personal Information, as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”).

We may sell or disclose the personal information of California residents to third parties. If you wish to opt-out of the sale of your personal information, please click on the [Do Not Sell My Personal Information] link on our website and follow the instructions provided.

We may also share your personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processors, shipping companies, and marketing partners. We require our service providers to use your personal information only as necessary to provide services to us and to maintain the confidentiality and security of your personal information.

California residents have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about them, as well as the categories of sources from which we collected the information, the purpose for which we collected the information, and the categories of third parties with whom we shared the information. To exercise your right to know or your right to delete your personal information, please contact us.

We do not discriminate against California residents who exercise their privacy rights under the CCPA. However, we may offer financial incentives or charge different prices or rates for goods or services based on the value of the personal information that we collect from you. If we offer such incentives or different prices or rates, we will provide you with a notice and obtain your opt-in consent before doing so.
