To protect, expand and improve our business, we also use certain enhanced Shopify features that incorporate data and information from your interactions with our store, with other merchants and with Shopify. To provide these enhanced features, Shopify may use personal data collected about your interactions with our store, other merchants and Shopify. In these circumstances Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal data, including responding to your requests to exercise your rights regarding the use of your personal data for these purposes.
