11. Shopify and Third-Party Services
Our store is powered by Shopify. Shopify may process personal information as part of hosting the store, providing checkout, payments, analytics, fraud prevention, privacy controls, and commerce tools.

Third-party policies
Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies. We encourage customers to review those policies when using payment methods, social login, shipping services, marketing links, or third-party checkout tools.
12. International Data Transfers
Because ecommerce services operate globally, personal information may be processed or stored in Canada, the United States, or other countries where we, Shopify, payment processors, shipping providers, marketing tools, analytics tools, support tools, or service providers operate.
Privacy laws in other countries may differ from the laws in your province, state, or country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as contracts, security measures, and service provider commitments.
