As our e-commerce platform provider, Shopify may collect, process, and store certain data on our behalf in order to operate the store, process transactions, and deliver our services to you.
Shopify is compliant with major data protection standards and frameworks. For more information on how Shopify handles your data, please visit Shopify's Privacy Policy at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.
Your data is stored on Shopify's secure servers, which may be located in the United States or other countries. By using our website, you consent to your data being processed in accordance with Shopify's infrastructure and practices.

Shopify Apps and Third-Party Integrations
To provide a better shopping and design experience, we may use third-party apps and integrations through the Shopify App Store. These apps may collect and process certain data in order to deliver their services. The categories of apps we may use include:

Each third-party app operates under its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any apps you interact with directly. We work only with reputable providers and take reasonable steps to ensure your data is handled responsibly.
Payment Providers
All payment transactions on our website are processed by secure, trusted third-party payment providers such as PayPal, Stripe, or other processors supported by Shopify. We do not directly collect, store, or process your full credit or debit card information.
When you complete a purchase, you may be redirected to your payment provider's secure environment, or the transaction may be processed through an embedded payment gateway. Your payment information is encrypted and handled in accordance with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements.
Please review your payment provider's privacy policy for details on how your payment information is stored and used.
Shipping and Fulfillment Providers
In order to fulfill and deliver your orders, we share certain personal information — such as your name, shipping address, and order details — with our shipping and logistics partners. These providers use your information solely for the purpose of completing your delivery.
Our shipping partners are contractually required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws. They are not permitted to use your personal information for their own marketing or unrelated purposes.
Customer Accounts
You may choose to create an account on our website. Having an account allows you to view your order history, save shipping information, and track consultations or design projects.
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored in encrypted form). You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately.
You may request that your account be deleted at any time by contacting us at emdandllc@gmail.com. Please note that we may need to retain certain transaction records for legal or accounting purposes even after your account is deleted.
Contact Forms, Email, and Customer Communication
When you contact us through our website's contact form, via email, or through any other communication channel, we collect the information you provide — including your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.
We use this information to respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and, where relevant, assist you with your interior design project needs. We may also retain records of our communications for quality assurance and training purposes.
If you have subscribed to our email newsletter or marketing communications, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email we send you, or by contacting us directly.
Analytics and Marketing Tools
We use analytics and marketing tools to better understand how our website is used and to reach potential customers who may be interested in our interior design products and services. These tools may include:
• Google Analytics: Helps us track website traffic, user behavior, and conversions. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
• Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel): Allows us to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns and show relevant ads to users who have visited our site.
• Other marketing and retargeting platforms as may be applicable
These tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect data. The data collected is generally anonymized or aggregated and is not sold to third parties by us. However, the third-party tools themselves operate under their own data practices.
Social Media Links and Integrations
Our website may include links to our social media profiles (such as Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Houzz) and social sharing buttons. If you click on a social media link or interact with a social plugin, the social media platform may collect information about you, even if you are not logged in to your account.
We are not responsible for the data practices of social media platforms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any social media platforms you use. We do not control the data collected by those platforms through their buttons or integrations.
We may also display social media feeds or content on our website. Any interaction with embedded social content is governed by the social media platform's own terms and privacy policies.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:
• Service Providers: We share data with trusted vendors who help us operate our business, such as Shopify (hosting), payment processors, shipping carriers, email marketing services, and analytics providers. These parties are only permitted to use your data to perform services for us.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our business, customers, or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
