Cookies may allow us and our service providers or advertising partners to understand how visitors interact with our website and may help us provide relevant advertising.

You may be able to control or disable certain cookies through your browser settings or through cookie or privacy controls made available on our website. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Services.

Third-Party Websites and Links

Our Services may contain links to websites or online platforms operated by third parties.

If you follow a link to a website that is not affiliated with or controlled by Unsalted Seas, you should review that site's privacy and security policies and other terms.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information collected or provided by third-party websites or platforms.

Information you provide on public or semi-public platforms, including third-party social networking platforms, may be viewable by other users of those platforms and may be used by those platforms in accordance with their own policies.

Our inclusion of a third-party link does not, by itself, imply endorsement of that website, platform, content, or its owner or operator.

Our Services are not directed toward children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of majority in their jurisdiction.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information provided below so that we can review the request and, where appropriate, delete the information.

Security and Retention of Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no security system is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Information transmitted over the internet may not be completely secure while in transit.

We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain personal information depends on factors such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, fulfill orders, provide Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or maintain appropriate business and financial records.
