Shopify may collect and process personal information when customers browse, interact with, or purchase products through Shopify-powered websites.
Depending on the services and privacy settings enabled, Shopify may also process information for its own purposes, including security, fraud prevention, service improvement, and enhanced shopping features.
Some Shopify services may involve processing information across multiple Shopify-powered stores.
For more information about Shopify's handling of personal information, please review:
Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy
Where Shopify independently controls certain processing activities, relevant privacy requests may also be directed to Shopify.
10. Data Security
Cartixa takes reasonable steps to protect customer information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
We rely on appropriate technical and organizational safeguards, including security measures provided by our e-commerce platform and relevant service providers.
However, no online service, transmission method, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Customers should protect their account credentials and avoid sharing sensitive information through unsecured communication channels.
If you believe your personal information or account has been compromised, please contact us promptly.

Returns and refund handling
-
Legal and tax obligations
-
Fraud prevention

Dispute resolution
-
Other legitimate business requirements
When information is no longer reasonably required, we will take appropriate steps to delete, anonymize, or securely retain it where legally necessary.

13. Children's Privacy
Cartixa's online shopping services are not specifically directed toward children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances prohibited by applicable law.
Customers who are not legally permitted to make purchases independently should use the Services with the appropriate involvement of a parent or legal guardian.
If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information improperly, they may contact us to request appropriate action.
14. International Data Transfers
Although Cartixa primarily serves customers in Pakistan, our website uses Shopify and may use other service providers that operate internationally.
As a result, certain personal information may be stored, transferred, or processed outside Pakistan.
Where required by applicable law, we will rely on appropriate legal mechanisms and safeguards for international data transfers.
Different countries may have different data protection laws.
We encourage customers to review Shopify's privacy documentation for additional information about its data processing activities.
15. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to external websites, social media platforms, or other independently operated services.
These third parties may have their own privacy policies and data processing practices.
Cartixa does not control all activities conducted by independent third-party websites.
We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before submitting personal information.
The inclusion of a third-party link does not necessarily indicate an endorsement of that website or its services.
16. Customer Reviews and Public Content
If you submit a review, rating, testimonial, or other public content through our website, certain information you provide may be displayed publicly.
This may include your chosen display name, review content, rating, and any media you voluntarily submit.
Please avoid including sensitive personal information in public reviews.
Where a third-party review application is used, its data processing practices may also apply.
You may contact our support team with questions about reviews or requests concerning your personal information.
