Our website and Shopify use cookies and similar technologies. Cookie and customer privacy preferences are handled by Shopify's built-in customer privacy settings. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.
Data retention
We keep order and transaction records for as long as necessary to provide the service, handle returns and refunds, and comply with legal, tax and accounting obligations. Contact messages and marketing subscriptions are kept until they are no longer needed or until you ask us to delete them.
Your privacy rights
Depending on the US state you live in, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information, to opt out of certain uses such as targeted advertising or the sale or sharing of personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@nessiepets.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Where available on your device, you can also use the privacy controls Shopify provides on the website.

Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Payments and account data are handled through Shopify's secure, encrypted infrastructure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
