LLC d/b/a Waifu Bean (“Waifu Bean,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information when you visit or use our website, online store, customer account, or other services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

Personal Information We Collect

We may collect personal information you provide directly to us, information collected automatically when you use the Services, and information we receive from service providers and other third parties.

Depending on how you interact with the Services, this may include contact information such as your name, email address, billing address, shipping address, and phone number; account information such as usernames and account credentials; transaction information such as products purchased, order details, payment and shipping information; communications you send to us; and device and usage information collected through cookies and similar technologies.

We may also receive information from Shopify and other service providers that support our online store, payment processing, analytics, customer support, marketing, fulfillment, and shipping.

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services and to process and fulfill purchases.

We may use personal information to process transactions and payments, fulfill and ship orders, maintain customer accounts, provide customer support, communicate with you about orders and services, personalize and improve your experience, and administer our business relationship with you.

We may use personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, such as sending marketing, advertising, and promotional communications by email, text message, or postal mail, and showing 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.

We may use personal information for security and fraud prevention, including to authenticate accounts, provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect or investigate possible fraudulent, illegal, unsafe, or malicious activity, protect public safety, and secure the Services.

We may use personal information to comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, investigate or participate in civil discovery, litigation, or other legal proceedings, and enforce or investigate potential violations of our terms or policies.

How We Disclose Personal Information

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

We may disclose personal information to Shopify, vendors, and other third parties that perform services on our behalf, including IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, fulfillment, and shipping.

We may disclose information to business and marketing partners that provide marketing services or advertising. Our business and marketing partners may use information in accordance with their own privacy notices. Depending on where you reside, you may have rights to direct us not to share information for targeted advertising or other uses recognized under applicable law.

We may disclose information when you direct, request, or otherwise consent to the disclosure, such as to ship products or through your use of social-media widgets or login integrations.

We may disclose information to affiliates or within our corporate group, and in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy, or as necessary to comply with legal obligations, enforce terms or policies, or protect or defend the Services, our rights, 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.

Information you submit to the Services may be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside.

Waifu Bean may use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data and information obtained from interactions with our Store, other merchants, and Shopify. In these circumstances, Shopify may be responsible for processing personal information for those purposes, including responding to requests concerning those uses.

To learn more about how Shopify uses personal information and available rights, customers should review Shopify's applicable consumer privacy information and privacy portal.

Third-Party Websites and Links

The Services may provide links to websites or 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 terms.

We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of third-party sites or the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on those sites.

Information shared on public or semi-public venues, including third-party social networking platforms, may be viewable by other users of those platforms. Our inclusion of links does not by itself imply endorsement of those platforms or their operators.

Children's Data

The Services are not intended to be used by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction.

If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided us with personal information, they may contact us using the contact information below to request that it be deleted.

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

No security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee perfect security. Information sent to us may not be secure while in transit, and we recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information.

How long we retain personal information depends on factors such as whether we need it to maintain an account, provide Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce contracts and policies.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights listed below. These rights are not absolute and may apply only in certain circumstances.

Right to Access / Know. You may have a right to request access to personal information that we hold about you.

Managing Communication Preferences. You may opt out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe option in those emails. We may still send non-promotional communications, such as account or order-related messages.

You may exercise available rights where indicated on the Services or by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request, as permitted or required by applicable law. Where permitted, you may designate an authorized agent.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights. We will respond to requests within the time required by applicable law.

Global Privacy Control and Opt-Outs

If you visit our website with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, depending on where you are, we may automatically treat the signal as a request to opt out for the device and browser used to visit the website. If we can associate the device with a Shopify account, we may apply the opt-out request to the account as well.

Other than Global Privacy Control, we do not recognize other “Do Not Track” signals that may be sent by your browser or device.

Where applicable, you may use the Shopify-supported data-sharing opt-out mechanism made available through the Services.

Complaints

If you have complaints about how we process your personal information, please contact us using the contact details below. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to appeal a decision or lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

International Transfers

We may transfer, store, and process personal information outside the country where you live.

If personal information is transferred out of the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we may rely on recognized transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms, unless the destination has been determined to provide an adequate level of protection, as applicable.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

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

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