When you place an order through the Site, we retain your Personal Information for our records unless and until you ask us to erase this information. For more information on your right to erasure, see the 'Your Rights' section below.

Automated Decision Making
If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the right to object to processing that is based solely on automated decision making (including profiling), when that decision making has a legal effect on you or otherwise significantly affects you.

We use fully automated decision making that has legal or otherwise significant consequences using customer data.
Our processor Shopify uses limited automated decision making to prevent fraud that has no legal or otherwise significant effects on you.

Services that include elements of automated decision making include:
- Temporary deny list of IP addresses associated with repeatedly failed transactions. This deny list remains for a small number of hours.
- Temporary deny list of credit cards linked to denied IP addresses. This list remains for a small number of days.
