We may also collect information automatically through cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies when you visit our website.

Shopify processes certain personal information on our behalf to support transactions, payment processing, and website functionality.

5. How We Use Personal Information
We use personal information to process and fulfill orders, provide customer service, operate and maintain our website, improve website functionality and performance, administer our loyalty program, send marketing communications (where permitted), personalize advertising, measure advertising effectiveness, and prevent fraud and maintain security.
6. Advertising, Audience Matching & Data Sharing
We work with advertising and marketing partners to promote our products and measure advertising performance. Partners may include Meta, Google, Pinterest, Criteo, impact.com, connected television advertising platforms, PostPilot (direct mail), and Attentive (SMS marketing).
We may share hashed identifiers such as email addresses or phone numbers with advertising platforms to create custom audiences, deliver targeted advertising, and measure advertising effectiveness.
These activities may be considered “sharing” for cross‑context behavioral advertising under California law. We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation.
California residents may opt out by visiting our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page.
7. Email Marketing
If you subscribe to receive marketing emails, we process your email address and engagement data to send promotional communications, product updates, loyalty program notifications, and brand news.
You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in any email or by contacting shop@katinusa.com.
Transactional emails related to orders or account activity may still be sent even if you opt out of promotional emails.
8. SMS Marketing
If you opt in to receive SMS communications, we may collect and process your phone number and interaction data to send promotional and transactional messages through our SMS provider.
You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message or by contacting shop@katinusa.com. Message and data rates may apply.
9. Loyalty Program & Financial Incentive Disclosure
Katin offers a loyalty program called Katin VIP which allows members to earn points and rewards.
Participation in the program may involve providing personal information such as name, email address, and purchase history.
Under California law, loyalty programs may be considered a financial incentive because rewards are provided in exchange for personal information. Participation is voluntary and you may withdraw at any time by contacting vip@katinusa.com.
10. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, analyze site performance, personalize user experiences, and support marketing activities.
These technologies may include cookies, pixels, tags, and similar tracking technologies provided by analytics and advertising partners.
Types of cookies may include Required Cookies, Analytics Cookies, Marketing Cookies, and Personalization Cookies.
Cookies may be placed automatically when you visit our website. In jurisdictions such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we request consent before placing certain non‑essential cookies through a cookie consent banner.
California residents may opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information associated with advertising cookies by visiting our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page or by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in a supported browser.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data under the lawful bases of contractual necessity, legal obligations, legitimate interests, and consent (for marketing communications and cookies).
12. International Data Transfers
Because we operate in the United States, personal information may be transferred outside the European Economic Area or United Kingdom. Where required, we rely on safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
