You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the relevant email.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending necessary non-promotional communications relating to orders, deliveries, accounts, returns, refunds, security, or customer-service requests.

Security and Fraud Prevention

We use personal information to authenticate transactions, secure the website and checkout, detect and investigate suspected fraud or misuse, prevent unlawful or malicious activity, and protect our customers, business, systems, and service providers.

Legal and Regulatory Purposes

We may use personal information to comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, customs, consumer-protection, product-safety, and regulatory obligations; respond to lawful requests and legal processes; establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and enforce our terms and policies.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable data-protection law requires us to identify a legal basis, we process personal information on one or more of the following bases:

• Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to accept, process, deliver, or administer an order, payment, account, return, refund, or other requested service.
• Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with tax, accounting, customs, consumer-protection, product-safety, fraud-prevention, or other legal requirements.
• Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests or those of a service provider, including operating and improving the Services, securing transactions, preventing fraud, responding to enquiries, and administering our business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
• Consent: where you consent to email marketing, non-essential cookies, personalised services, advertising-related processing, or another specific use. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and Shopify use cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the website, maintain your cart and checkout, remember preferences, understand website use, personalise the shopping experience, and, where permitted, support marketing and advertising.

These technologies may include:

• Necessary technologies required for core website, cart, checkout, security, account, payment, and privacy functions.
• Analytics technologies used to understand website performance and how visitors interact with the Services.
• Personalisation technologies used to remember choices and provide a more relevant experience.
• Advertising technologies used, where permitted, to measure or provide advertising based on online activity.

Where consent is legally required, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be used according to your consent choices.

You can review or change your choices at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the website footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to the following categories of recipients:

• Shopify, which hosts and operates our commerce platform and provides store, checkout, payment, account, messaging, Shop, fraud-prevention, analytics, personalisation, and related services.
• Payment providers that process transactions and payment information.
• Delivery, postal, courier, fulfilment, customs, and logistics providers involved in delivering orders and managing cross-border shipments.
• Technology and service providers that support hosting, storage, communications, translation, localisation, security, customer support, and website operation.
• Professional advisers, including accountants, legal advisers, insurers, and other advisers where reasonably necessary.
• Government authorities, regulators, courts, law-enforcement bodies, or other parties where disclosure is required by law, valid legal process, or necessary to protect legal rights.
• A purchaser or successor in connection with a lawful sale, transfer, restructuring, or reorganisation of all or part of the business, subject to appropriate safeguards.

We may also disclose information when you request, direct, or consent to the disclosure.

Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify. Shopify collects and processes personal information relating to your access to and use of the Services in order to provide, secure, improve, and personalise Shopify services.

Information submitted through the Services is transmitted to Shopify and may also be disclosed to Shopify service providers and other parties located in countries other than the country in which you reside.

Shopify Network Intelligence

Shopify Network Intelligence is enabled for our store. Shopify may securely use information from your interactions with HUIGON YOON together with information from your interactions with Shopify and other Shopify merchants to provide services known as Enhanced Services.

Enhanced Services may include improved personalisation, store performance, fraud prevention, product features, and advertising-related services.

Other Shopify merchants cannot directly access personal information from our store through Shopify Network Intelligence.

For certain Enhanced Services, Shopify determines how personal information is processed and is responsible for responding to requests relating to that processing.

You can learn more about Shopify’s processing and exercise rights relating to information controlled by Shopify through:

• Shopify’s Consumer Privacy Policy
• Shopify’s Privacy Portal

Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.

However, certain disclosures or uses involving Shopify Network Intelligence, personalisation, or advertising may be defined as a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under some privacy laws, even where no money is exchanged.

Where applicable, you may opt out through our Your Privacy Choices page.

Where required by applicable law, Global Privacy Control signals sent by supported browsers or devices may also be treated as an opt-out request.

Third-Party Websites and Services

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

We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their privacy, security, content, or practices. When you follow a third-party link or use a third-party service, you should review that party’s privacy notice and terms.

International Transfers

HUIGON YOON is established in Japan. Shopify and our other service providers may process personal information in Japan, Canada, the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other countries in which they or their service providers operate.

Those countries may have data-protection laws that differ from the laws of your country.

Where required by applicable law, international transfers are carried out using an applicable lawful transfer mechanism, which may include an adequacy decision, contractual safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, or another recognised transfer mechanism.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Services, maintain transaction and accounting records, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.

The appropriate retention period depends on factors including:

• The nature and sensitivity of the information
• The purpose for which it was collected
• Whether an account or ongoing customer relationship exists
• Applicable tax, accounting, customs, consumer, and legal requirements
• The need to resolve complaints, disputes, or potential legal claims

When personal information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable law and our technical capabilities.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communication channels.

Children’s Personal Information

The Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children who are below the age at which they may lawfully provide consent in their jurisdiction.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
