Our website is hosted on the Shopify platform, which provides the online infrastructure that allows us to publish and operate this site.
Shopify may automatically collect and process certain technical or usage data (such as IP address, browser type, and interactions) to maintain and improve its platform.
In these cases, Shopify may act as a data processor or independent controller, depending on the data and purpose.

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law:
-
Newsletter data — until you unsubscribe

Restrict or object to processing

11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.
However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. International Data Transfers
Because we use global service providers such as Shopify, Google, and Klaviyo, your data may be processed outside your country of residence.
Where required, we rely on legal mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards for cross-border transfers.
13. Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for general audiences and is not directed toward children under 16 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Our site may contain links to external websites or embedded content. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. You should review their policies before engaging with them.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes.
We will post the revised version with an updated “Last Updated” date.
Continued use of the site after changes are posted signifies acceptance of the revised terms.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Thailand, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Any dispute arising from this Policy shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Bangkok, Thailand, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
