Some cookies are necessary for the website and online store to function. Other cookies may be used for analytics, personalization, or advertising.

Google Analytics, for example, may use first-party cookies such as the _ga cookie to distinguish visitors and measure website activity.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be able to manage certain cookie and tracking preferences through the privacy or cookie controls made available on our website or through your browser settings.

Shopify

Our online store is hosted and powered by Shopify.

Shopify collects and processes certain personal information in connection with your access to and use of our online store in order to provide its commerce services. Information submitted through our website may be transmitted to Shopify and other service providers that help facilitate your transaction and our Services.

Shopify may also process information about interactions with Shopify-powered stores and Shopify consumer services in accordance with its own privacy policies.

For additional information about Shopify's privacy practices and the rights that may be available to you, please review Shopify's Consumer Privacy Policy and Privacy Portal.

Google Analytics

Katy Trail Collections uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google.

Google Analytics helps us measure and understand how visitors interact with our website. Depending on our configuration and your consent choices, Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as website sessions, pages viewed, interactions with our website, browser and device information, approximate geographic information, and other usage information.

We use these reports to evaluate website performance, understand customer interests, improve navigation and content, and evaluate our marketing efforts.

Google provides privacy controls relating to Google Analytics, and visitors may also have options for limiting analytics collection through applicable cookie controls, browser settings, or Google's available privacy tools.

Third-Party Websites and Links

Our website may contain links to websites, social-media platforms, or other online services operated by third parties.

When you follow a link to a third-party service, its privacy and security practices are governed by that third party's policies rather than this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites and services before providing personal information.

Our inclusion of a link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the third party, its website, content, or privacy practices.

Children's Privacy

Our website and Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to 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 improperly, please contact us so that we can review the matter and, where appropriate, delete the information.

Security and Retention

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communication channels.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our Services, maintaining appropriate business and transaction records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and enforcing agreements and policies.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include:

• Access or Know: You may have the right to request information about personal information we maintain about you.

• Correction: You may have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.

• Deletion: You may have the right to request deletion of certain personal information.

• Portability: You may have the right to obtain a copy of certain personal information in a portable format.

• Opt Out of Certain Data Uses: Depending on applicable law and how our website is configured, you may have the right to opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information for targeted advertising, sharing, or activities legally defined as a “sale.”

• Marketing Preferences: You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing emails.

These rights are not absolute and may apply only in certain circumstances. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided to you by applicable law.

Global Privacy Control and Browser Signals

Where required by applicable law and supported by our website platform, we may recognize certain legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”).

Other browser-based “Do Not Track” signals may not be recognized because there is not currently a universally accepted standard governing how such signals should be interpreted.

International Data Processing

Some of the companies that provide services to Katy Trail Collections, including Shopify, Google, and other technology providers, operate internationally.

As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside your state, province, or country of residence. Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our business practices, technologies, Services, or legal and regulatory requirements.

When we update this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version on our website and update the “Last updated” date above. Additional notice will be provided when required by applicable law.
