5. Selling or Sharing Personal Information (CPRA)
Under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and similar laws in other states, “selling” personal information includes sharing it for monetary consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing it for cross-context behavioral (targeted) advertising.
NautiCovers does not sell your Personal Information for money.
However, information shared with Meta (Facebook/Instagram Pixel), Google Analytics, and Google Ads is considered “sharing” under these laws because it may be used for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising.
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Utah, and residents of other states with similar privacy laws can opt out of this “sale” or “sharing” at any time by:
• Clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the site footer, or by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser.
We automatically honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out request. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
6. Retention of Personal Information
We retain Personal Information only as long as reasonably necessary. Listed below are expected retention periods. These are approximate and subject to change.
• Order, payment, and account data: 7 years (tax and accounting requirements)
• Customer service records: 3 years
• Marketing subscribers: until you unsubscribe or 24 months of inactivity
• Analytics data: follows each provider’s settings (e.g., Google Analytics default 26 months)
You may request deletion earlier, subject to legal obligations.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies help us improve and personalize your browsing experience. Types of cookies used include:
• Functional
• Performance

Cookie Consent (GDPR)
Visitors from the EEA, UK, California, and other jurisdictions requiring consent are shown a cookie consent banner on first visit. Analytics and advertising cookies are placed only after you grant consent.
8. Do Not Track Signals
There is currently no industry standard for handling Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Therefore, we do not alter our data practices in response to these signals.
9. Data Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Personal Information, including:
• Encrypted payment processing (Shopify PCI-DSS Level 1)
• Secure data transfer protocols (HTTPS)

No online system is 100% secure, but we take measures consistent with industry standards.

We do not engage in automated decision-making that produces legal or significant effects.
Shopify may use limited automated tools for fraud prevention, such as:

• Temporary credit card blacklisting
These measures do not create significant effects on customers.
