1. Information We Collect
We collect information from you in the following ways:
a. Information You Provide Directly

- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies (small data files stored on your device) to enhance your experience, analyze site traffic, and personalize content. This includes session cookies (temporary) and persistent cookies (stored longer). Third-party services such as Google Analytics and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel may also collect data as described in Section 4.

- Advertising Partners: Data from ad networks and platforms (such as Meta and Google) used to measure and target advertising, as described in Section 4.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions like the EU). If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information for legitimate business purposes, including:
- Processing Transactions: To fulfill orders, process payments, ship products, and handle returns or refunds.

- Site Improvement: To analyze usage, troubleshoot issues, and enhance user experience (e.g., personalizing recommendations).
- Marketing and Advertising: To measure the performance of our advertising and to show you relevant ads on third-party platforms such as Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google, as described in Section 4.

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only in these limited cases:
- Service Providers: With trusted third parties such as shipping companies (e.g., UPS, FedEx), payment processors, our email and text-message platform (Mailchimp), and analytics providers. They are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for our purposes.

- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or government request (e.g., subpoenas).

- Aggregated/Anonymized Data: Shared for research or marketing without identifying you.
4. Advertising, the Meta Pixel, and Analytics
We use advertising and analytics tools to understand how visitors use our Site and to show our ads to people who may be interested in our products.
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Conversions API: Our Site uses the Meta Pixel, a tool provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. The Pixel, together with the Meta Conversions API, allows us to record actions you take on our Site (such as viewing products, adding to cart, and completing a purchase) and to share limited information with Meta. This information may include your activity on our Site, device and browser information, IP address, and — in hashed (encrypted) form — identifiers such as your email address or phone number when available. Meta uses this information to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to help us show relevant ads to you and to similar audiences on Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta services.
- Custom and Lookalike Audiences: We may use this information to create “Custom Audiences” (to reach existing customers or Site visitors) and “Lookalike Audiences” (to reach new people similar to our customers) through Meta’s advertising tools.
- Google Analytics and Google Ads: We use Google Analytics to understand Site usage and Google Ads to measure and deliver advertising. Google may set cookies and collect usage data as described in Google’s privacy policy.
How to control advertising: You can manage or limit interest-based advertising through the following tools:
- Meta ad preferences: Adjust your ad settings in the Accounts Center at facebook.com and instagram.com, or review Meta’s data practices at facebook.com/privacy/policy.
- Google ad settings: Manage your preferences at adssettings.google.com.
- Industry opt-out tools: Visit optout.aboutads.info (Digital Advertising Alliance) or youradchoices.com.
- Browser and cookie controls: Adjust your browser settings or use our cookie banner to limit tracking technologies.
We do not control how Meta, Google, or other platforms use information once it is shared with them; please review their respective privacy policies for details.
