6. Advertising and Data Sharing

We may use advertising and analytics services to understand the effectiveness of our marketing and to show advertisements that may be relevant to you.

Depending on the technologies we use and the laws that apply in your jurisdiction, certain disclosures of personal information to advertising partners may be considered a sale, sharing, or use for targeted advertising, even when no money is exchanged for your personal information.

Where required by applicable law, you may have the right to opt out of these activities.

If an applicable privacy opt-out option is available on our website, you may use it to submit your preference.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may give you certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you
  
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information

8. U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.

Depending on the state and whether the applicable law applies to MEMORIES, these rights may include requesting access, correction, or deletion of personal information and opting out of certain sales, sharing, profiling, or targeted advertising.

Authorized agents may submit requests on behalf of consumers where permitted by applicable law. We may request information necessary to verify the consumer's identity and the agent's authority.

Shopify notes that privacy requirements vary among U.S. states and that merchants may have obligations regarding disclosure and opt-out mechanisms for targeted advertising or data sharing.

9. International Customers

MEMORIES may serve customers in multiple countries.

Your personal information may therefore be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which you live. Those countries may have privacy and data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.

For customers located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, applicable data protection laws may provide additional rights regarding personal information.

Shopify notes that GDPR can apply to businesses offering goods or services to individuals in Europe even when the merchant itself is located outside Europe.

• Maintain appropriate business and transaction records
  
• Resolve disputes
  
• Prevent fraud
  
• Enforce agreements
  
• Meet tax, accounting, regulatory, and other legal obligations
  

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable legal requirements.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete or anonymize it, subject to applicable law.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore use appropriate care when providing personal information online.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
