Our Services are powered by Shopify.
Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services to provide and improve Shopify services and our Store.
Information submitted through our Store may be transmitted to Shopify and other service providers located in countries other than your country of residence.
We may also use Shopify features that use information from interactions with our Store and, depending on the Shopify services enabled, interactions across Shopify services to support personalization, measurement, fraud prevention, analytics, or advertising.
For certain processing activities, Shopify may be independently responsible for processing your personal information and responding to requests relating to that processing.
You can learn more through Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy and Shopify Privacy Portal.
9. ADVERTISING, SALE, SHARING, AND TARGETED ADVERTISING
We do not knowingly sell personal information in exchange for money.
However, privacy laws in certain U.S. states define terms such as "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly.
As a result, disclosures involving advertising, analytics, cookies, pixels, or cross-context behavioral advertising may be treated as a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under applicable law even when no money is exchanged for personal information.
Where applicable, you may opt out through our privacy choice page:
https://westmere.online/pages/data-sharing-opt-out
Where required by law, we also recognize supported browser-based opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control ("GPC").
If you visit our Store with a valid GPC signal enabled and applicable law requires recognition of that signal, we will treat the signal as an opt-out request for the browser or device from which the signal is sent.
Where Shopify is able to associate that device with a customer account, the opt-out may also apply to the associated account according to Shopify's privacy functionality.
10. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
We and our service providers may use:
• Cookies

EEA AND UK CONSENT
In the EEA, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions requiring prior consent, non-essential cookies and pixels will be subject to the consent mechanisms provided through our Store.
You may manage or withdraw cookie preferences through the cookie or privacy preference controls available on our Store.
Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent the use of essential shopping functionality, although certain optional functions may become less personalized.

You can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link contained in the message.

13. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Aldebaran Commerce Business LLC is based in the United States, and we use service providers, suppliers, fulfillment partners, carriers, and technology providers located in multiple countries.
As a result, personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries other than the country in which you reside.
Those countries may have privacy and data-protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.
Where applicable law requires additional safeguards for transfers from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or United Kingdom, we rely on recognized lawful transfer mechanisms, which may include:
• Adequacy decisions
• Approved Standard Contractual Clauses
• UK-approved transfer mechanisms
• Valid contractual safeguards
• Other transfer mechanisms recognized by applicable law
We may also implement supplementary safeguards where appropriate.

These may include:

Verification may involve information already associated with your account or transaction, such as:

• Other reasonably necessary verification information
We will not request more information than reasonably necessary to verify a request.
Where permitted by applicable law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf. We may require evidence that the agent is authorized to act for you and may also verify your identity directly.

You are not required to contact us before filing a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, although we encourage you to contact us so that we have an opportunity to address your concern.
18. U.S. STATE PRIVACY DISCLOSURES
Depending on how you interact with the Store, during the preceding 12 months we may have collected categories of information including:

We collect these categories from the sources described in this Privacy Policy and use them for the purposes described above.
We may disclose relevant categories to the service providers and partners described in this Privacy Policy.
Certain disclosures involving identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, approximate location, or inferences for advertising or analytics may constitute "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under broad definitions in certain U.S. state privacy laws.

• Know
• Access
• Delete
• Correct
• Opt out of certain sale or sharing
• Opt out of targeted advertising
• Limit certain uses of sensitive information
• Receive nondiscriminatory treatment

19. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL AND DO NOT TRACK
Where legally required and technically supported, we recognize a valid Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out request regarding covered sale, sharing, or targeted advertising for the relevant browser or device.
Because there is currently no single universally recognized standard for traditional "Do Not Track" browser signals, our Store may not respond to all older Do Not Track signals.
This does not affect our handling of legally recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control where applicable.
20. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Our Store and Services are not directed to children under 13 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

A parent or legal guardian who believes that a child has provided personal information to us may contact:
gabrieldamasceno0244@gmail.com
21. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, applications, social-media platforms, payment services, embedded content, or other online services.
If you follow a link to a third-party service, that service may collect and process personal information according to its own privacy policy.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, accuracy, or content of independent third-party services.
