Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 6, 2026

Torytale operates this store and website, together with all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, in order to provide you with a personalized and high-quality shopping experience (collectively, the “Services”).

Torytale uses Shopify as its e-commerce platform, which enables us to provide the Services.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, store, and disclose your personal information when you visit or use our Services, make a purchase or other transaction, or otherwise communicate with us.

If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy concerning the collection, processing, or disclosure of personal information, this Privacy Policy will control.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the personal information practices described in this policy.

Personal Information We Collect or Process

Our Relationship With Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify.

Shopify collects and processes certain personal information relating to your access to and use of the Services in order to provide, maintain, and improve its platform and features.

Information you provide through our store may be transmitted to Shopify and certain third parties that are necessary to provide and improve the Services. These recipients may be located in countries other than your country of residence.

We may also use certain Shopify features designed to protect, develop, and improve our business. Some of these features may use information derived from your interactions with our store, with other merchants using Shopify, and with Shopify.

In certain circumstances, Shopify may act independently as a controller of personal information for specific processing activities.

For more information about how Shopify uses personal information and the rights that may be available in relation to Shopify's processing activities, you may review the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and the Shopify Privacy Portal.

Third-Party Websites and Links

The Services may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.

If you access a website that is not affiliated with Torytale or that we do not control, we recommend that you review its privacy, security, and terms of use policies.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third-party websites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information available on those sites.

Information you post in public or semi-public areas, including on third-party social media platforms, may be visible to others and subject to the policies of those platforms.

The inclusion of external links does not necessarily mean that Torytale endorses the operator, content, or practices of the relevant website.

Children's Data

The Services are not intended for use by individuals under the applicable legal age in their jurisdiction, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from such individuals.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, you may contact us using the details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy to request deletion.

As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share, as those terms may be defined under certain privacy laws, personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Security and Retention of Information

We use reasonable measures designed to protect personal information.

However, no security system or measure can guarantee absolute protection, and we cannot guarantee perfect security.

Information transmitted over the Internet may also be exposed to risks during transmission. We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to send us particularly sensitive or confidential information.

How long we retain personal information depends on various factors, including:

  • The need to maintain your account.

  • The provision of our Services.

  • Compliance with tax, accounting, or legal obligations.

  • Fraud prevention.

  • Dispute resolution.

  • Claims management.

  • Enforcement of contracts and policies.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purposes and for any additional period required or permitted by applicable law.

Subject to the conditions and exceptions set out in applicable law, individuals in the EEA may have the following rights.

Right of Access

You may request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and obtain access to the personal data we maintain about you.

Right to Rectification

You may request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete personal data.

Right to Erasure

You may request restriction of the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.

For example, this right may apply while we verify the accuracy of certain data or while we assess an objection you have submitted.

Right to Data Portability

Where a valid objection applies, we will stop the relevant processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds to continue or the processing is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Right to Object to Direct Marketing

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

If you object to direct marketing, we will stop using your personal information for that purpose.

You may also unsubscribe from promotional emails using the link included in those communications.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Rights Relating to Automated Decision-Making

Where applicable, you may have certain rights in relation to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where those decisions produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you.

Where we use this type of processing in circumstances regulated by applicable law, we will provide the information and safeguards required by law.

How to Exercise Your Rights in the EEA

To exercise your data protection rights, please contact us:

Email: service@torytalestore.com

Please clearly identify the right you wish to exercise and provide sufficient information for us to identify the relevant account, order, or personal information.

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before processing a request.

We will respond to valid requests without undue delay and generally within one month, in accordance with applicable law.

In certain circumstances, this period may be extended where permitted by law, for example if a request is particularly complex or if multiple requests have been submitted.

If an extension applies, we will inform you as required by applicable law.

Exercising GDPR rights is generally free of charge.

However, where permitted by law, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Marketing, Advertising, and Cookies in the EEA

Where those controls are available, you may modify or withdraw your consent preferences at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

International Transfers

Torytale operates outside the EEA and uses service providers that may process personal data in countries other than the country in which you reside.

Where we transfer personal data outside the EEA and applicable law requires specific safeguards, we will use a legally recognized transfer mechanism.

Depending on the destination country and the circumstances, these mechanisms may include:

  • An adequacy decision issued by the European Commission.

  • The European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

  • Other transfer mechanisms or safeguards permitted under applicable data protection law.

Where applicable to transfers from the United Kingdom, we will similarly use transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable UK data protection law.
