Relationship With Shopify
The Services are hosted and powered by Shopify.
Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve Shopify’s services and enable us to operate our online store.
Information you submit through the Services may be transmitted to and processed by Shopify and other service providers, including providers located in countries other than the country in which you reside.
Certain Shopify features may use information obtained from your interactions with our store, Shopify, and other merchants to provide enhanced services, fraud prevention, analytics, personalization, or advertising functionality.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers, including Shopify, may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve the Services, remember your preferences, understand how visitors interact with our website, provide functionality, perform analytics, improve security, and, where permitted, provide personalized advertising.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@heatdocks.com so that we can review the matter and, where appropriate, delete the information.
We do not knowingly sell or share, as those terms may be defined under applicable privacy laws, personal information belonging to individuals under 16 years of age.
Security and Retention of Your Information
