Certain cookies may be necessary for the operation of the website, while others may be used for analytics, personalization, or advertising.

Payment providers, banks, payment processors, and card networks for processing and securing transactions.
Fulfillment and logistics providers, including warehouses, fulfillment centers, shipping carriers, postal operators, couriers, and logistics partners necessary to prepare, ship, track, and deliver orders.
Because Whoostrap serves customers worldwide and may use multiple fulfillment locations, information necessary to fulfill an order may be transmitted to logistics providers located in a country or region different from your own.

Information you submit through our store may be transmitted to Shopify and other service providers, including providers located in countries other than your country of residence.
Shopify may also process information obtained from your interactions with our store, other merchants, and Shopify in accordance with its own privacy practices and applicable law.
For information about how Shopify processes consumer personal information and the privacy rights available through Shopify, please consult Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy and privacy portal.
7. INTERNATIONAL FULFILLMENT AND DATA TRANSFERS
Whoostrap is a United States-based online store serving customers worldwide.
We may use fulfillment centers, warehouses, logistics providers, technology providers, and other service providers located in different countries and regions.
As a result, your personal information may be transferred, stored, or processed outside your country of residence where reasonably necessary to provide our Services, fulfill orders, process payments, prevent fraud, provide customer support, or operate our business.
Where applicable law requires specific safeguards for international transfers of personal information, we will rely on appropriate mechanisms recognized under applicable law.
For transfers from the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, these may include adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or other legally recognized mechanisms, as applicable.
8. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
Our Services may contain links to websites, social media platforms, applications, or other online services operated by third parties.
Whoostrap does not control these third-party services.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, availability, or practices of websites or services operated by third parties.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms applicable to any third-party service before providing personal information to it.
The inclusion of a third-party link does not, by itself, constitute an endorsement of that third party or its practices.
9. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed toward children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us at contact@whoostrap.com.
Where appropriate and legally required, we will take reasonable steps to delete the relevant information.
10. DATA SECURITY
We and our service providers use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet, electronic storage system, or security measure is completely secure.
Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal information.
Customers should avoid transmitting highly sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communication channels.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for notifying us if you reasonably believe that your account or information has been compromised.
11. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to:
- provide and maintain the Services;

- prevent fraud and abuse;
- resolve disputes;
- respond to chargebacks or claims; and
- establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, our legitimate business needs, and applicable legal requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable law.
12. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;

- request a copy or portability of certain personal information;
- object to or restrict certain processing;

These rights are not absolute. They may be subject to legal exceptions, verification requirements, retention obligations, fraud prevention requirements, or other limitations permitted by applicable law.
For example, we may be required or permitted to retain certain transaction information even after receiving a deletion request where necessary for tax, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or other legal purposes.
We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before processing a privacy request.
Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf, subject to reasonable verification of the agent’s authority and your identity.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
13. EEA AND UNITED KINGDOM USERS
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, applicable data protection law may provide additional rights concerning your personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information and, where applicable, receive your information in a portable format.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Where required, our processing will rely on an appropriate legal basis, which may include performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, legitimate interests, or consent.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority in your country.
14. UNITED STATES PRIVACY RIGHTS
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state privacy laws.
Depending on your state of residence and subject to applicable exceptions, these may include rights to access, correct, or delete personal information and rights relating to certain forms of targeted advertising, sharing, or sale of personal information as those terms are defined by applicable law.
Where these rights apply to Whoostrap, requests may be submitted using the contact information below or through privacy controls made available through our Services.
We may verify requests and deny or limit requests where permitted by applicable law.
15. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link contained in the relevant communication.
Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue to send non-promotional communications where necessary, including communications concerning your orders, payments, shipping, returns, account, security, or customer service requests.
16. FRAUD, CHARGEBACKS AND DISPUTES
Where reasonably necessary, we may retain, use, and disclose relevant personal information to investigate or respond to suspected fraud, unauthorized transactions, payment disputes, chargebacks, return abuse, or other disputes.
This may include providing relevant order information, transaction records, shipping information, tracking data, delivery confirmation, customer communications, and other appropriate evidence to Shopify, payment processors, financial institutions, card networks, carriers, insurers, legal advisers, or other parties involved in resolving the matter.
Any such processing will be carried out subject to applicable law.
