4. Digital Product Delivery
Hidden Systems primarily sells digital products.
When you purchase a digital product, information associated with your order may be processed through Shopify and Shopify's digital-product functionality or related services in order to provide access to your purchased content.
We use this information only as reasonably necessary to process and fulfill your order, provide the purchased product, maintain transaction records, provide customer support, and operate our business.

If you subscribe to our emails, we may use your email address to send you news, product information, announcements, promotional offers, and other marketing communications from Hidden Systems.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing messages.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent us from sending transactional or service-related communications when necessary, such as order confirmations or communications concerning a purchase.
Shopify provides merchants with tools for managing customers' marketing preferences and consent.
6. Cookies and Analytics
We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, understand Site usage, maintain security, process transactions, and analyze store performance.
At this time, we use Shopify's platform and analytics functionality and do not independently use advertising pixels such as Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or Google Analytics.
If our analytics, advertising, or tracking practices change, we may update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
Where applicable, you can manage available cookie preferences through the Cookie Settings link provided on our Site.
Shopify provides customer privacy controls that can restrict certain cookie-based collection depending on the visitor's region and consent choices.
7. How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to service providers and other parties where reasonably necessary to operate our business and provide the Services.
These may include:
Shopify, which hosts and powers our online store and provides ecommerce infrastructure and related services.
Payment processors, including Shopify Payments and PayPal, where applicable, to process transactions and prevent fraudulent activity.
Digital fulfillment providers, used to deliver purchased digital products.
Technology and service providers that assist with hosting, analytics, security, communications, customer support, or other operational functions.
We may also disclose personal information when required by law, legal process, or governmental request; to protect our rights or the rights and safety of others; or in connection with a business transaction such as a sale, transfer, merger, or restructuring.
8. Shopify
Our store is hosted and powered by Shopify.
As a result, Shopify collects and processes certain personal information relating to visitors and customers in order to provide its services to us and operate the ecommerce platform.

You can learn more through the PayPal Privacy Statement.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing our Services, maintaining transaction and business records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, enforcing agreements, and complying with applicable legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.
11. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore use appropriate care when providing information online.

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information. These may include the right to request access to personal information we maintain about you, request correction or deletion of certain information, obtain a copy of certain information, or opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information.
