SECTION 2 - HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

 a) Device information

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site in line with our legitimate business interests (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns). This information is shared with Shopify, Google Analytics, MailChimp, the Shopify Facebook app and Shopify Google App (for information about how and why this is shared see below).

MailChimp uses cookies to limit the number of times each site visitor sees a pop-up form on our website.
