7. Cookies, Website Analytics, and Advertising

Our website is hosted by Payhip, which may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the storefront, support checkout functionality, maintain security, and understand website activity.

We may also use third-party analytics and advertising technologies, including the Meta Pixel (provided by Meta Platforms, Inc.), to measure advertising effectiveness, understand visitor interactions, and deliver more relevant advertisements on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

These technologies may collect information about website activity, including pages viewed, products explored, purchases, and certain device or browser information.

We do not currently have the Meta Pixel installed on our Payhip website. If we activate it, we will update this disclosure as necessary and provide any privacy notices, consent choices, and opt-out mechanisms required by applicable law.

You can manage certain advertising preferences through your Facebook and Instagram account settings. Additional privacy rights and choices may apply depending on your location.

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information entrusted to us and rely on established service providers for payment processing, email management, and digital delivery.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
