Depending on where you live and how our services are configured, certain disclosures for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under applicable privacy laws. You may have the right to opt out of those uses as described in the “Your rights and choices” section below.
Relationship with Shopify
Our online store is hosted by Shopify. Shopify collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of our website and services in order to help provide, support, protect, and improve the services.
Information you submit through our website may be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and other third parties that may be located in countries other than where you live. Shopify may process personal information as our service provider or processor, and in some circumstances Shopify may process certain information as an independent controller, depending on the feature or service.
We may use certain Shopify features that incorporate information obtained from your interactions with our store, other merchants, and Shopify. These features may support fraud prevention, analytics, advertising, personalization, or other enhanced services. In those circumstances, Shopify may be responsible for certain processing of your personal information, including responding to certain requests to exercise privacy rights.
To learn more about how Shopify processes personal information and the privacy choices Shopify provides, you may visit Shopify’s privacy portal at https://privacy.shopify.com/en.
Third-party websites and links
Our website may include links to websites, apps, platforms, or services operated by third parties. This may include payment providers, resale or giveback services, social media platforms, product review tools, shipping carriers, or other third-party services.
If you follow links to websites or services that are not operated or controlled by Wildhaven Wools, you should review their privacy policies, terms, and security practices. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or practices of third-party websites or services.
Our inclusion of a link does not, by itself, imply endorsement of the linked site, service, operator, or content, except as otherwise disclosed on our website.
Children’s privacy
Wildhaven Wools sells children’s products, but our website and services are intended for adults, including parents, guardians, gift-givers, and other adult customers. Our website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Parents or guardians may voluntarily provide limited information about a child when needed for product sizing, fit guidance, product recommendations, customer support, returns, exchanges, or similar purposes. For example, a parent or guardian may provide a child’s age range, clothing size, measurements, activity preferences, or fit needs. Please do not provide a child’s full name, birthdate, school, precise location, photo, or other unnecessary personal information.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information directly to us, please contact us at info@wildhavenwools.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete the information.
As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we “sell” or “share,” as those terms are defined under applicable privacy laws, personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
Security and retention of personal information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee perfect security. Information transmitted over the internet may not be secure while in transit. Please do not use unsecure channels to send sensitive or confidential information to us.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain business records, prevent fraud, and protect our rights. The length of time we retain personal information depends on the type of information, our relationship with you, legal requirements, and our business needs.

You may exercise available rights by contacting us at info@wildhavenwools.com or by using the privacy choices available on our website.
If you visit our website with the Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, we will treat that signal as a request to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising for the browser or device you use, where required by applicable law and supported by our systems. If we are able to associate the device or browser with your Shopify account, the opt-out may also apply to the account. Other than Global Privacy Control, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals that may be sent by some browsers or devices.
We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests, as permitted or required by law. Verification may require us to request information that allows us to reasonably confirm you are the person about whom we collected personal information.
You may designate an authorized agent to make a privacy request on your behalf where permitted by law. We may require the agent to provide proof that you authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may require you to verify your identity directly with us.
We will respond to privacy requests within the time required by applicable law.
Communication preferences
You may opt out of promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us at info@wildhavenwools.com. We may still send non-promotional messages, such as order confirmations, shipping updates, account notices, customer service messages, or other transactional communications.

Right to object to processing, including certain processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
