These providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.
We may also publish and syndicate customer reviews as described in the reviews section above, which means review content and star ratings may appear publicly on our Site and on third-party platforms such as Shopify and the Shop app, Google, Meta, and TikTok.
We may also share data: to comply with legal obligations; to protect our rights, property, or safety; and in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

We use Judge.me (operated by Judge.me Ltd, a UK company) to collect, host, display, and syndicate customer reviews, ratings, photos, and videos. Judge.me acts as our sub-processor and is the provider of the review functionality on our Site. Judge.me processes review-related personal information on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions and its own privacy policy, available at https://judge.me/privacy.
Information collected through reviews. When you submit a review or respond to a review request, we and Judge.me may collect: your name or chosen display name; your email address; your order and product information, including data that links your review to your purchase ("Link Data"); the content of your review, including any photos or videos you upload; and technical information such as your IP address, device, and browser.
Reviews are public. Reviews you submit — together with the display name and any images or video you include — are published on our Site and may be visible to anyone. Please do not include information in a review that you do not want to be public.
Review requests by email and SMS. After a purchase, we may send you a review request and related reminders by email and/or SMS text message. We send these only to customers who have been age-verified as 21 or older. You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email, by replying STOP to any text message, or by contacting us. Standard message and data rates may apply to SMS.
Where your reviews appear (syndication). To help other shoppers and improve our visibility, your reviews and star ratings may be shared with and displayed on third-party platforms, including: Shopify and the Shop app; Google (including Google Shopping listings and star ratings in Google Search results); Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram, including shops); and TikTok Shop. We share Link Data with Shopify and the Shop app so that reviews can be matched to the correct products. Once your review is displayed on these platforms, it is also subject to their respective privacy policies and terms.
Advertising and marketing. We and our partners may use reviews, ratings, and related engagement data to promote our products and measure the performance of our marketing, including through advertising and analytics services. Personal information you provide to Judge.me may also be processed by Judge.me for its own purposes as described in the Judge.me privacy policy, which can include analytics and the creation of advertising audiences (for example, by sharing hashed identifiers such as email addresses with advertising platforms).
Age restriction. Submitting a review and receiving review communications are restricted to customers who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, publish, or syndicate review content from anyone under 21. If we learn that we have collected such content, we will remove it promptly.
Your choices and rights for reviews. You can edit or delete a review you submitted through the controls in your Judge.me reviewer profile, or by contacting us, and we will pass your request to Judge.me. Please note that where your review and Link Data have already been shared with Shopify or the Shop app, we may not be able to delete that data from those platforms unilaterally; in that case we will pass your deletion request to the relevant party.
Data security and international transfer. Judge.me maintains SOC 2 Type 2 certification and hosts data on Amazon Web Services. Because Judge.me is based in the United Kingdom and uses service providers in other countries, your review information may be processed in the UK, the United States, and elsewhere.
