Shopify may process personal data to provide hosting, checkout, security, technical infrastructure, analytics, commerce functionality, fraud prevention, and related services.

Information processed through Shopify may be handled in accordance with Shopify's own privacy and data processing arrangements.

6. Payment Providers

When you choose a payment method, personal information may be shared with payment processors, banks, card networks, digital wallet providers, or other financial service providers as necessary to complete the transaction and prevent fraud.

These providers may act as processors or independent controllers depending on the circumstances.

In Germany, storing or accessing information on a user's device generally requires consent unless the technology is strictly necessary for transmission or for a digital service expressly requested by the user.

Where legally required, non-essential cookies will only be used after obtaining appropriate consent.

We may send marketing emails only where permitted under applicable law.

Where consent is required, marketing messages will be sent only after obtaining valid consent.

  • a lawful statutory derogation where applicable.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to satisfy legal obligations.

Retention periods may differ according to the type of information.

Customer service correspondence may be retained for a reasonable period to resolve disputes, demonstrate compliance, or protect legal rights.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure.
