How We Use Your Personal Information

Depending on how you interact with us or which of the Services you use, we may use personal information for the following purposes:

Provide, Tailor, and Improve the Services

We use your personal information to provide you with the Services, including to perform our contract with you, process your payments, fulfill your orders, remember your preferences and items you are interested in, send notifications related to your account, process purchases, cancellations, approved refund requests, or other transactions, create, maintain, and otherwise manage your account, arrange for shipping, enable you to post reviews, and create a customized shopping experience for you, such as recommending products related to your purchases.

We also use your personal information and personalization details to prepare, customize, embroider, engrave, produce, fulfill, and deliver made-to-order products.

This may include using your personal information to better tailor and improve the Services.

Marketing and Advertising

Where you have subscribed, opted in, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law, we may use your personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, such as to send marketing, advertising, abandoned cart reminders, product updates, launch announcements, and promotional communications by email and, if added in the future, by phone, SMS, WhatsApp, or similar channels.

We may also use your personal information to show you online advertisements for products or services on the Services or other websites, including based on items you previously purchased or added to your cart and other activity on the Services.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the communication or by contacting us.

Order-related messages, payment updates, delivery updates, customer service replies, and other transactional communications are not marketing messages and may still be sent where necessary.

Cookies, Pixels, and Analytics

We may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, advertising tools, and similar technologies to operate our website, understand customer behavior, improve our store, measure marketing performance, and show relevant advertising.

This may include Shopify analytics, Meta Pixel where enabled, and similar services we may use from time to time.

Customers may be able to manage cookie or privacy preferences through the cookie banner, browser settings, or privacy tools available on our website, depending on the settings available at the time.

Security and Fraud Prevention

We use your personal information to authenticate your account, provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect, investigate, or take action regarding possible fraudulent, illegal, unsafe, or malicious activity, protect public safety, and secure our Services.

If you choose to use the Services and register an account, you are responsible for keeping your account credentials safe. We highly recommend that you do not share your username, password, or other access details with anyone else.

Communicating with You

We use your personal information to provide customer support, respond to you, provide effective services to you, and maintain our business relationship with you.

Payments are processed through secure payment providers or payment methods shown at checkout.

We do not store full payment card details on our website. Payment information is handled by payment providers according to their own security and privacy practices.


How We Disclose Personal Information

In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:

  • With Shopify, service providers, vendors, and partners who perform services on our behalf, such as IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, production, personalization, fulfillment, and shipping.
  • Where necessary to complete your order, this may include sharing your name, contact details, delivery address, product details, personalization details, and order information with relevant service providers and partners.
  • With business and marketing partners to provide marketing services and advertise to you. For example, we use Shopify to support personalized advertising with third-party services based on your online activity with different merchants and websites. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their own privacy notices. Depending on where you reside, you may have a right to direct us not to share information about you to show you targeted advertisements and marketing based on your online activity with different merchants and websites.
  • When you direct us, request us, or otherwise consent to our disclosure of certain information to third parties, such as to ship products to you or through your use of social media widgets or login integrations.
  • With our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.
  • In connection with a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy, to comply with any applicable legal obligations, including to respond to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests, to enforce any applicable terms of service or policies, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.

 

Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services for you.

Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify, as well as third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, in order to provide and improve the Services for you.

In addition, to help protect, grow, and improve our business, we may use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data and information obtained from your interactions with our store, along with other merchants and with Shopify.

To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may make use of personal information collected about your interactions with our store, along with other merchants, and with Shopify.

In these circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including for responding to your requests to exercise your rights over use of your personal information for these purposes.

Third Party Websites and Links

The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties.

If you follow links to sites not affiliated with or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions.

We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites.

Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms, may also be viewable by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party.

Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed on the Services.


Children’s Data

The Services are intended for use by adults and are not intended to be used directly by children.

We do not knowingly collect any personal information directly from children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction.

However, customers may choose to provide a child’s name, initials, date, or similar information when ordering a personalized gift. We use this information only to personalize, fulfill, and support the relevant order.

If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information directly, you may contact us using the contact details set out below to request that it be deleted, subject to applicable laws and business record requirements.

As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” personal information of individuals under 16 years of age, as those terms are defined in applicable law.


Security and Retention of Your Information

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee perfect security.

In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, provide you with Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

Personalization details may be retained as part of the order record for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the order, provide customer support, manage approved cancellation or refund requests, comply with legal or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and maintain business records.


Customer Accounts

Customers may choose to check out as guests or create an account, depending on the options available on our website.

If you create an account, we may process account-related information such as your name, email address, order history, saved addresses, and account preferences.

You are responsible for keeping your account login details confidential.

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights listed below in relation to your personal information.

However, these rights are not absolute, may apply only in certain circumstances, and, in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law.

We will respond to your request in a timely manner as required under applicable law.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us using the contact details set out below, or lodge your complaint with your local data protection authority.

 

International Transfers

Because we use service providers and partners to operate our store, process payments, prepare personalized products, fulfill orders, and deliver shipments, your personal information may be transferred, stored, or processed outside the United Arab Emirates where necessary for these purposes.

Please note that we may transfer, store, and process your personal information outside the country you live in.

If we transfer your personal information out of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we will rely on recognized transfer mechanisms, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the United Kingdom, as relevant, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined to provide an adequate level of protection.


Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

We will post the revised Privacy Policy on this website, update the “Last updated” date, and provide notice as required by applicable law.
