Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

 

(4)  Limited Ability to Protect your Personal Information for Breaches of our Terms and Conditions.  Posting inappropriate User Contributions may be in breach of our Terms and Conditions and result in the suspension of your account and privileges.   Our ability to prosecute abusers of our Terms and Conditions may be inadequate after your Personal Information has been used in an inappropriate or illegal manner, and we may not be able to protect unauthorized use of Personal Information by anyone who breaches our Terms and Conditions.

 

Our Site and Online Store is Hosted by Shopify’s E-Commerce Platform.  

 

When you are visiting ElizabethMott.com, you are visiting a website hosted on the Shopify e-commerce platform, which is subject to its own terms and conditions and privacy policy.  Our Site also features a number of other apps and software provided by third-party vendors and hosted by third-party websites and servers. 

ElizabethMott.com data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and Shopify’s own websites and its own third-party vendors providing storage, hosting and other services.  Please review the Shopify Privacy Policy which provides additional information as to how your Information and Personal Information will be collected, tracked, sorted, analyzed and used by Shopify. 

 

You may be asked to provide your Personal Information any time you are in contact with Elizabeth Mott, Shopify or any respective affiliated company or third-party vendor.   Each of Elizabeth Mott, Shopify and its respective affiliates or third-party vendors may share this Personal Information with one another.   We may also combine Personal Information with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.  

 

 

Passive Collection of Information; Online Tracking by Third Parties.

 

In addition to the Personal Information that you actively provide to us, we, together with our third party service providers, and our business partners may use a variety of technologies to automatically collect certain information about your use of the Site.  Some of these vendors may include payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, which have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. 

 

We may also collect technical information to help us identify your device for fraud prevention and diagnostic purposes. 

 

This information may be used, among other things, to help us compile website metrics and analytics, and thereby improve and customize your experiences on the Site, to target advertisements for products and services in which you might be interested based on your visits to the Site, to prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times, or to conduct research regarding the usefulness of certain advertisements to you.  We may share information about visitors to our Site with third party companies for the same purposes.

 

For these third party providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.  As technology advances and as our business develops and scales, we may change our third party vendors from time to time.   Some of these third party vendors currently include: Shopify, Smile.io, Google Analytics, Facebook, Stamped.io, PushOwl, Sumo, Klaviyo, and Route.io.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of each jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your Personal Information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our Site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, including the websites of some payment processors or third party advertisers, for example, dojomojo.com, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Site’s Terms and Conditions.  Any third party may use their own tracking technologies to track your Personal Information and other data.  See the discussion below entitled “Third Parties’ Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.”
