Additional Information We Collect
We may collect personal (e.g., name, address, phone, email, payment info, order history) and non-personal information (e.g., browser type, referring URLs, ISP, OS, IP address). We may use analytics technologies (including web beacons and cookies) and third-party partners to manage, monitor, and optimize the Site and measure the effectiveness of our ads and communications.

Disclosures to Third Parties
We may disclose Personal Information to protect/enforce our legal rights or those of others or as required by law. We work with third-party providers (e.g., Shopify and operational partners) to provide, maintain, and improve our Site and Services, and may disclose Personal Information to them subject to their terms and privacy policies. We may share Personal and non-personal information with affiliates for marketing/analytics. In the event of merger, acquisition, change of control, bankruptcy, or reorganization, information may be transferred as an asset subject to this Policy. We may share aggregated, non-identifying data with strategic partners, advertisers, investors, and customers.

Security
We follow industry-standard safeguards to protect Personal Information transmitted via the Site. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We are not responsible for third-party acts/omissions (e.g., unauthorized access/hacking) or disclosures due to transmission errors or events beyond our reasonable control.
