Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve the Services. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and certain third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside, to help provide and enhance the Services. Shopify may also make use of personal information collected about your interactions with this store, other merchants, and Shopify to provide enhanced features and services. 

In those circumstances, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information and for responding to your requests to exercise rights over that information where applicable. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and any rights you may have, please visit the **Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy** at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy and the **Shopify Privacy Portal** at https://privacy.shopify.com/en. 

Third-Party Websites and Links

The Services may include links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow a link to a site not affiliated with or controlled by Das Motel, you should review that site’s privacy and security policies and terms and conditions. Das Motel is not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, or for the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found there. 

Information that you provide in public or semi-public venues, including on third-party social networking platforms, may be viewable by other users of the Services and/or those platforms, without limitation as to its use by Das Motel or others. Inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply endorsement of the content or the owners or operators of those platforms, except as expressly disclosed in the Services. 

Children’s Data

The Services are not intended for use by children, and Das Motel does not knowingly collect personal information about children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, you may contact Das Motel to request deletion of that information. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, Das Motel does not have actual knowledge that it “shares” or “sells” personal information of individuals under 16 years of age, as those terms are defined in applicable law. 

All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties. 

Security and Retention of Your Information

Commercially reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures are used to protect your personal information; however, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and “perfect security” cannot be guaranteed. Information you send may not be secure in transit, so you should avoid using unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential details. 

Retention of personal information depends on factors such as whether it is needed to maintain your account, provide Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce applicable contracts and policies. 

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights listed below in relation to your personal information, subject to legal limitations and exceptions:

You can exercise certain opt-out rights (including for targeted advertising and data “sharing”) via tools or links provided on the Services where available. If you visit the website with a **Global Privacy Control (GPC)** opt-out preference signal enabled, Das Motel will treat this as a request to opt out for the device and browser you use, and, where possible, for any associated Shopify account.

**Managing communication preferences.** Promotional emails may be sent to you, and you can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link included in the emails.

You may exercise these rights where indicated on the Services or by contacting Das Motel using the contact details below. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information and any rights you may have related to data processed by Shopify, please visit https://privacy.shopify.com/en.

Das Motel will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. Identity verification may be required before processing a request, as permitted or required under applicable law, and you may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf under certain conditions.
