5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.
Cookies are small data files that websites store or access through your browser or device.
We may use these technologies to:
• keep our website functioning properly;
• remember shopping-cart contents and preferences;
• enable checkout and account features;
• protect against fraud and abuse;
• understand how visitors use our website;
• measure website performance;
• improve our services;
• measure marketing campaigns; and
• provide or measure advertising where permitted.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function.
Other cookies, including certain analytics or advertising cookies, may be subject to your consent or opt-out choices depending on where you live.
Where available, you may manage certain cookie and privacy preferences through the privacy controls provided on our website.
You can also adjust cookie settings through your browser. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of our website.
6. Advertising and Analytics
We may use analytics and advertising services to understand how customers use our website and to measure or improve our marketing.
These services may receive information such as:
• IP address;
• device or browser identifiers;
• cookie identifiers;
• pages or products viewed;
• interactions with our website;
• purchases or conversion events; and
• other online activity.
Depending on the technologies we use and applicable law, certain disclosures of personal information for advertising purposes may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for “targeted advertising.”
Where required by applicable law, we provide customers with an opportunity to opt out of these activities.
7. Your Privacy Choices
You may have several ways to control how personal information is used.
Marketing Emails
If you subscribe to promotional emails, you may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link contained in the marketing email.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from sending transactional or service-related messages, such as:
• order confirmations;
• shipping notifications;
• return or refund communications;
• account notices; or
• customer service responses.
Cookies and Advertising Choices
Where applicable, you may adjust your cookie or privacy preferences using the privacy controls available on our website.
You may also use browser settings or other privacy tools to limit certain cookies.
8. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
Some U.S. privacy laws use specific definitions of the terms “sale,” “sharing,” and “targeted advertising.”
These definitions may include certain disclosures of online identifiers or browsing activity to advertising or marketing partners, even when personal information is not exchanged for money.
If our use of advertising or analytics technologies constitutes a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under an applicable privacy law, eligible consumers may have the right to opt out.
Where required, we will provide an appropriate method for exercising this choice, such as a data-sharing opt-out or privacy preferences page.
Global Privacy Control
Certain browsers and browser extensions allow users to send a Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal indicating a preference to opt out of certain sale or sharing of personal information or targeted advertising.
Where applicable law requires us to recognize a qualifying GPC signal, we will treat it as an opt-out request for the browser or device sending the signal, subject to applicable legal requirements and available technology.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, and whether the applicable privacy law applies to Meadowa, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include the right to:
• request information about the personal information we collect, use, or disclose;
• access personal information we maintain about you;
• request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• request deletion of certain personal information;
• obtain a portable copy of certain personal information;
• opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information;
• opt out of certain targeted advertising;
• limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information where applicable;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• appeal certain decisions concerning a privacy request where applicable; and
• exercise privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to exceptions under applicable law.
For example, we may need to retain certain information to:
• complete transactions;
• maintain required business records;
• prevent fraud;
• comply with legal obligations;
• resolve disputes; or
• exercise or defend legal claims.
10. How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights
You may submit a privacy request by contacting us at:
Please clearly describe the privacy right you wish to exercise and provide sufficient information for us to locate the relevant records.
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
Verification may require us to confirm information reasonably connected to your account or previous interactions with Meadowa.
We will use information submitted for verification only as reasonably necessary to verify and process your request.
Where applicable law permits the use of an authorized agent, we may require evidence that you authorized the agent to act on your behalf and may ask you to verify your identity directly.
We will respond to verified privacy requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.
11. U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under state consumer privacy laws.
The specific rights available to you depend on:
• your state of residence;
• the law applicable in that state;
• the type of personal information involved; and
• whether that law applies to Meadowa.
Where an applicable U.S. state privacy law provides you with additional rights, Meadowa will process eligible requests in accordance with that law.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to restrict privacy rights that cannot legally be waived.
12. Sensitive Personal Information
Meadowa does not intentionally seek to collect sensitive personal information unless it is reasonably necessary to provide our services, comply with law, protect our business, or otherwise disclosed to you.
Certain information used in transactions, such as payment information, may qualify as sensitive information under some privacy laws.
Payment information is generally processed through Shopify and authorized payment providers rather than being stored directly by Meadowa in complete payment-card form.
We ask that you do not provide sensitive personal information through customer service messages or other communications unless it is reasonably necessary for us to assist you.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business, legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, or regulatory purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.
For example, we may retain certain:
• order and transaction records;
• tax and accounting records;
• customer service communications;
• return and refund records;
• fraud-prevention information;
• consent and marketing preference records; and
• records needed to establish or defend legal claims.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and our business practices.
14. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, loss, or disclosure.
We also rely on trusted service providers, including Shopify and payment processors, to maintain safeguards for information they process.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For this reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for keeping any account credentials confidential and should contact us if you believe your Meadowa account or personal information has been compromised.
15. Children's Privacy
Meadowa's website and online store are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 in circumstances where parental consent would be required under applicable law.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to Meadowa, please contact us.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete or otherwise address that information.
16. International Visitors
Meadowa is based in the United States.
If you visit our website from outside the United States, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where Shopify and our service providers operate.
Privacy and data-protection laws in these jurisdictions may differ from those in your country of residence.
Where applicable law requires additional protections for international transfers, we and our service providers may use appropriate safeguards.
17. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, wildlife organizations, educational resources, or other services that Meadowa does not operate.
This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of independent third parties.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites and services before providing personal information to them.
The inclusion of a third-party link does not necessarily mean that Meadowa endorses or controls that third party's privacy practices.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:
• our business practices;
• products or services;
• technology;
• service providers;
• privacy practices; or
• applicable laws and regulations.
When we make changes, we will post the revised Privacy Policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date.
Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
