The Services are supported by Shopify, which collects and processes personal data related to your access and use of the Services to offer and improve the Services for you. In order to offer and improve the Services for you, the data you send to the Services will be transmitted and shared with Shopify and third parties who may reside in countries different from yours. Additionally, to help you protect, grow, and improve your business, we use certain advanced Shopify features that incorporate data and information received from you through your interactions with our store, as well as with other merchants and Shopify. To provide these advanced features, Shopify may use personal data collected from your interactions with our store, as well as with other merchants and Shopify itself. In such circumstances, Shopify is responsible for processing your personal data, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights related to the use of your personal data for these purposes.
