Depending on how you interact with the Services, your location, and applicable laws, we may collect or process the following categories of personal information, including information inferred from such data:



Sources of Personal Information

How We Use Your Personal Information


Depending on how you interact with us or the Services you use, we may use your personal information for the following purposes:

Providing, customizing, and improving the Services. We use your personal information to provide the Services to you, including fulfilling contracts with you, processing payments, completing orders, remembering your preferences and items of interest, sending account-related notifications, processing purchases, returns, exchanges, or other transactions, creating and managing your account, arranging shipping, assisting with returns and exchanges, enabling you to post reviews, and creating a personalized shopping experience (such as recommending items related to your purchases). This may include using your personal information to better tailor and improve the Services.


Marketing and advertising. We use your personal information for marketing and promotional purposes, such as sending you marketing, advertising, and promotional communications via email, and displaying online advertisements for products or services on the Services or other websites—including advertisements based on items you have previously purchased or added to your cart, as well as other activities on the Services.


Security and fraud prevention. We use your personal information to verify your account, provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect, investigate, or address potential fraud, illegal, unsafe, or malicious activity, maintain public safety, and ensure the security of our Services. If you choose to use our Services and register an account, you are responsible for protecting your account credentials. We strongly recommend that you do not share your username, password, or other access information with anyone.


Communicating with you. We use your personal information to provide customer support, respond promptly to your needs, deliver efficient service, and maintain our business relationship with you.


Legal reasons. We may use your personal information to comply with applicable laws or respond to valid legal processes—including requests from law enforcement or government agencies—to investigate or participate in civil discovery, potential or actual litigation, or other adversarial legal proceedings, and to enforce or investigate potential violations of our terms or policies.



How We Disclose Personal Information


In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These circumstances may include:


Working with our service providers and other third parties (e.g., for IT administration, payment processing, data analysis, customer support, cloud storage, order fulfillment, and shipping).


Sharing your information with our business and marketing partners to provide you with marketing services and advertising. Our business and marketing partners will use your information in accordance with their respective privacy statements. Depending on the laws of your location, you have the right to instruct us not to share your information for the purpose of displaying targeted advertisements and marketing messages based on your online activity across different merchants and websites. You may opt out here.


When you instruct, request, or otherwise consent to our disclosure of certain information to third parties—such as when shipping products to you, or through your use of social media widgets or login integrations.


Working with our affiliates or other companies within our corporate group.


In connection with business transactions such as mergers or bankruptcies; to comply with applicable legal obligations (including responding to subpoenas, search warrants, and similar requests); to enforce applicable terms of service or policies; and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.



Third-Party Websites and Links


The Services may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you click a link to visit a website not affiliated with or controlled by us, please carefully review its privacy and security policies as well as other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee or assume responsibility for the privacy or security practices of such websites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the information found there. Information you provide in public or semi-public areas—including information shared on third-party social networking platforms—may also be viewed by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms, and neither we nor the third parties are subject to restrictions regarding the use of such information. Unless otherwise stated in the Services, our provision of such links does not imply endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators.



Children's Data


This Service is not directed at children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from any minors within your jurisdiction. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with personal information, you may contact us at vanta@szmoic.com to request the deletion of that information. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not anticipate "sharing" or "selling" (as defined by applicable law) the personal information of individuals under the age of 16.



Information Security and Retention


Please note that no security measures are perfect, and we cannot guarantee "absolute security." Furthermore, any information you send to us may be subject to risks during transmission. We advise against sending sensitive or confidential information to us via insecure channels.

The duration for which we retain your personal information depends on various factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, provide services to you, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.



Your Rights and Choices


Depending on your place of residence, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information. However, these rights are not absolute and may apply only in specific circumstances. In certain cases, we may deny your request to the extent permitted by law.


Right of Access/Right to Know. You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.

Right to Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete the personal information we hold about you.

Right to Correction. You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information we hold about you.

Right to Data Portability. In certain circumstances, you have the right to obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to request that we transfer such information to a third party, subject to certain exceptions.


You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising. Depending on the laws of your jurisdiction, you may have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, or to opt out of the use of your personal information for "targeted advertising" purposes as defined by applicable privacy laws. You may exercise your right to opt out. Please note that if you visit our website with the "Global Privacy Control" opt-out preference signal enabled, we will—depending on your location—automatically treat this as an opt-out request from the device and browser used to access the website. If we can associate the device sending the signal with a specific account, we will also apply this opt-out request to that account. Apart from "Global Privacy Control," we do not recognize other "Do Not Track" signals that your web browser or device might send.


Managing communication preferences. We may send you promotional emails; you can opt out of receiving such emails at any time via the unsubscribe link included in the emails. If you choose to opt out of promotional emails, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those regarding your account or orders.


If you reside in Hong Kong and meet the exceptions and limitations prescribed by local law, you may exercise the following rights in addition to those mentioned above:


Right to object to and restrict processing: You have the right to request that we stop or restrict the processing of your personal information for certain purposes.


Right to withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out based on your consent prior to the withdrawal.


You may exercise these rights by contacting us at the location specified within the Service.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights mentioned above. To the extent permitted or required by applicable law, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. Under applicable law, you may designate an authorized agent to exercise rights on your behalf. Before accepting a request from an agent, we will require proof that you have authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may require you to verify your identity directly with us. We will respond to your request in a timely manner as required by applicable law.
