Where consent is legally required for an additional purpose, such as certain marketing or advertising activities, we will request consent or provide an appropriate choice.
You may withdraw your consent where applicable by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawfully completed before your request and may not apply where we must retain information for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, or contractual reasons.
6. Shopify and Payment Processing
Our online store is hosted through Shopify, which provides the ecommerce technology used to display products, process orders, and operate our online store.
Information submitted through the website may be processed and stored by Shopify and its service providers. Shopify maintains technical and organizational security measures for its platform, including measures related to payment-card security.
When you choose a payment method, your information may also be processed by the applicable bank, card network, payment gateway, digital wallet provider, or financial institution. Their handling of your information is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

We may use Shopify features and third-party analytics or advertising services to understand website activity, measure campaign performance, and show more relevant advertisements.
Depending on the services enabled on our website, these providers may collect device, browser, shopping, and interaction information using cookies or similar technologies.

12. Information Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
Our website uses encrypted connections where supported, and payments are processed through established ecommerce and payment-service providers.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers are responsible for protecting their account credentials and should contact us if they believe their account or personal information has been compromised.

14. Children’s Privacy
Our website and products are intended to be purchased by adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children below the minimum age permitted by applicable law.
A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child has provided personal information without appropriate authorization may contact us to request review or deletion.
When an adult submits a child’s photograph for a custom product, that adult confirms that they are the child’s parent, legal guardian, or otherwise have permission to submit and use the photograph for the requested order.
15. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.
Happy Dolly does not control these third parties and is not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external service before providing personal information.

The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or by another appropriate method.
