12. California Privacy Notice
This section supplements the rest of this Privacy Policy for California residents. It is intended to address the California Online Privacy Protection Act and, to the extent applicable to our business, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA").
Categories of Personal Information
During the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers and customer-record information; commercial and transaction information; internet or other electronic network activity; approximate geolocation information; audio, electronic, visual, or similar information, including watch photos you submit; and inferences drawn from preferences or interactions. The specific examples, sources, purposes, and recipient categories are described in Sections 2 through 5 above.
Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We may allow Shopify or analytics and marketing partners to process identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity to measure marketing or provide advertising. Depending on applicable law, some of these activities may be considered "selling," "sharing," or targeted advertising. California residents may opt out through our Data Sharing Opt-Out page. Where required, we also treat a recognized Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out request for the browser or device sending the signal. We do not respond to other browser "Do Not Track" signals.
Sensitive Personal Information
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you. Payment information is processed by payment providers and is used to complete transactions, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations.

Subject to applicable law and exceptions, California residents may have the right to:
- Know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected, the sources, purposes, and categories of recipients.
- Request deletion of personal information we collected from you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and certain targeted advertising.
