Midnight Fae operates this store and website using Shopify to provide you with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase through the Services or otherwise communicate with us.

Please read this policy carefully. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood it.

  • With Shopify and service providers who perform functions on our behalf (payment processing, shipping, data analytics, cloud storage)
  • With business and marketing partners for advertising purposes — you may opt out of targeted advertising here
  • When you direct or consent to disclosure, such as through social media integrations
  • Within our corporate group or affiliates
  • In connection with a business transaction, legal obligation, or to protect our rights and the rights of our users

5. Our relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which processes personal information to provide and improve the Services. Information you submit may be shared with Shopify and third parties in other countries. Shopify is responsible for processing your personal information in connection with its enhanced features. To learn more, visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy or exercise your rights via the Shopify Privacy Portal.

6. Third-party websites and links

The Services may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy or security practices. Information shared on public or semi-public platforms may be visible to others beyond our control.

7. Children's data

The Services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us and we will delete it. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under 16.

8. Security and retention

No security measure is perfect. We recommend you do not share sensitive information over unsecure channels. We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to maintain your account, provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:

  • Access / Know — request access to personal information we hold about you
  • Delete — request deletion of your personal information

If you reside in the UK or EEA, you additionally have the right to:

  • Object to or restrict processing of your personal information
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@midnightfae.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. Authorised agents may act on your behalf with appropriate proof of authorisation.
