Welcome to Sticky Sparkle Slime! Your trust means the world to us, and we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you shop with us, explore our sparkly site, or reach out to our slime experts. (Yes, we’re slime lovers just like you!) By using our website, you agree to the practices outlined here.

• Communicate about your order or any slime emergencies (yes, those happen!).
• Personalize your shopping experience with recommendations.
• Improve our website, advertising, and your overall happiness.
• Detect and prevent fraud (because slime thieves are the worst!).

3. Sharing Your Information

Sticky Sparkle Slime loves to share slime, not your data. But sometimes, we need to share certain information with trusted third parties:

• Shopify: To power our online store and process your orders. Read Shopify’s privacy policy.
• Advertising Partners: To show you the coolest slimes based on your interests. (You can opt-out; see below!)
• Legal Obligations: To comply with laws, subpoenas, or requests from government authorities.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies? Yes, but not the edible kind (sorry). These tiny files improve your shopping experience by remembering your preferences and tracking what you like.

Types of Cookies We Use:

1. Necessary Cookies: To make the site work.
2. Performance Cookies: To track what’s popular and what could use a little more sparkle.
3. Advertising Cookies: To show you products you’ll love.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but it might make your experience less magical.

For Our Friends in the EEA (Under GDPR):

• You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal data.
• You can object to how we process your data.

For Our California Buddies (Under CCPA):

6. Data Retention

We’ll keep your personal information as long as we’re still besties (aka while you’re shopping with us). If you’d like us to delete it, just let us know.
