6. Shipping Providers

When you place an order, information such as your name, shipping address, and other necessary order information may be provided to shipping carriers or fulfillment providers so your package can be delivered.

Please refer to our Shipping Policy for additional information regarding shipping and delivery.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Dappled Dangles and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember preferences, maintain shopping-cart functionality, understand website activity, improve our store, prevent fraud, and provide relevant features.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete certain cookies. Disabling cookies may cause some website features to function incorrectly or become unavailable.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies.

8. Analytics

We may use analytics services provided by Shopify or other service providers to better understand how visitors interact with our website.

Analytics information may include information about pages viewed, interactions with the website, device or browser type, approximate location derived from technical information, and referral sources.

We use this information to understand website performance and improve the customer experience.

9. Marketing Communications

If you choose to sign up for promotional emails or other marketing communications, we may use the contact information you provide to send information about Dappled Dangles products, promotions, or updates.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in the communication or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from sending transactional communications necessary to fulfill your orders or respond to your requests.

10. How We Share Information

We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to operate our business, including to Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers, service providers, and other companies that assist us in providing our services.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or government request, or when reasonably necessary to protect our business, customers, rights, property, or safety.

We do not sell customer personal information for money.

Certain advertising, analytics, or cookie technologies may be legally considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some U.S. state privacy laws even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, customers may have rights regarding these activities.

11. Data Retention

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Fulfill orders

  • Maintain appropriate business records

  • Provide customer service

  • Resolve disputes

  • Prevent fraud

  • Meet tax, accounting, or other legal obligations

  • Enforce our agreements and policies

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through or stored in connection with our website.

Dappled Dangles does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 in violation of applicable law.

Our website and products are intended for general audiences and are not specifically directed toward young children.
