PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: August 13, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Weekend Bear Club (“Weekend Bear Club,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores and discloses your personal information when you visit {{shop_domain}}, purchase our products, create an account, subscribe to our communications, contact us or otherwise interact with our services.
In this Privacy Policy, “you” and “your” refer to any customer, website visitor or other individual whose personal information we process. By using our website or services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy when our business practices, services, technology or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Where required by applicable law, we may provide additional notice or request your consent before making a material change.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with Weekend Bear Club. Personal information generally means information that identifies you, relates to you or can reasonably be associated with you.
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE DIRECTLY
Contact information: Your name, email address, telephone number, billing address, shipping address and other information you provide when placing an order or contacting us.
Order information: Products purchased, selected sizes and colours, order value, discounts, transaction history, shipping method, delivery status, returns, refunds and exchanges.
Payment information: Payment confirmation, billing details and limited transaction information. Complete payment-card information is normally collected and processed directly by Shopify Payments or another authorized payment processor rather than stored by Weekend Bear Club.
Account information: Login credentials, saved addresses, order history, account preferences and other information connected to your customer account.
Customer-service information: Messages, photographs, order details and any other information you provide when contacting us about an order, return, complaint or product question.
Marketing information: Your email address, communication preferences and information about how you interact with promotional messages.
Reviews and submitted content: Product reviews, photographs, comments, survey responses, contest entries or other content you voluntarily submit.
INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY
When you access our website, we and our service providers may automatically collect information about your device and use of the website. This may include your IP address, device type, browser, operating system, network connection, approximate location, referring website, pages viewed, products considered, search activity, shopping-cart activity, checkout activity and the dates and times of your interactions.
This information may be collected through cookies, pixels, tags, web beacons, local storage, software development kits and similar technologies. Some of this information may be linked to your customer account or purchase history where permitted by law.
INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM THIRD PARTIES
We may receive personal information from companies that help us operate our store and provide our services. These companies may include Shopify, payment processors, fraud-prevention providers, shipping carriers, print-on-demand and fulfilment partners, analytics providers, advertising platforms, customer-service tools and email or communication providers.
For example, a payment processor may provide payment confirmation, a shipping carrier may provide delivery updates, and an advertising platform may provide information about whether an advertisement led to a website visit or purchase.
HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Providing products and services: We use personal information to process payments, confirm orders, produce customized products, arrange shipping, provide delivery updates, manage customer accounts and complete returns, exchanges or refunds.
Customer support: We use personal information to respond to questions, investigate delivery problems, resolve complaints and communicate with you about your orders or account.
Marketing and promotions: Where permitted by law, we may use your contact information and shopping activity to send product announcements, promotions, abandoned-cart reminders and other marketing communications. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time.
Personalization and advertising: We may use information about your interactions with our store to recommend products, improve website content, measure advertising performance and show relevant advertising on our website or third-party platforms.
Website improvement: We use information to understand how customers use our website, evaluate store performance, test features, correct technical problems and improve our products and services.
Security and fraud prevention: We may process information to verify transactions, detect suspicious activity, prevent unauthorized account access and protect our customers, business and service providers.
Legal and operational purposes: We may use personal information to maintain business and tax records, enforce our policies, manage disputes, respond to lawful requests and comply with applicable legal obligations.
LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING
Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis, we process personal information because it is necessary to perform a contract with you, because you have provided consent, because processing is required by law or because we have a legitimate business interest that is not overridden by your privacy rights.
Our legitimate interests may include operating and improving our store, preventing fraud, protecting our legal rights, responding to customers and measuring the effectiveness of our services and advertising.
COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our Shopify store, remember your preferences, maintain your shopping cart, support checkout, analyze website traffic, prevent fraud and measure marketing performance.
Essential cookies: These cookies support necessary functions such as navigation, account access, shopping-cart activity, checkout, security and fraud prevention.
Preference cookies: These cookies remember selections such as language, region and other website preferences.
Analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand website traffic, customer interactions and store performance.
Advertising cookies: Where permitted, these cookies may be used to measure advertising, limit repeated advertisements and provide advertising based on your interests or website activity.
You can control cookies using your browser settings and any cookie-consent tools displayed on our website. Blocking essential cookies may prevent portions of the website, shopping cart or checkout from working correctly.
Information about cookies used by Shopify is available at Shopify’s Cookie Policy.
GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL AND DO NOT TRACK
Where required by applicable law and supported by our website technology, we recognize Global Privacy Control signals as a request to opt out of qualifying data sharing or targeted advertising for the browser or device transmitting the signal.
Because there is no consistent legal or technical standard for other browser-based “Do Not Track” signals, our website may not respond to those signals.
HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may disclose personal information to service providers and other parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business, complete your order or comply with legal obligations.
Shopify: Our online store is hosted by Shopify. Shopify processes customer and website information to provide ecommerce, checkout, account, security, analytics and other services.
Payment processors: Payment information is shared with Shopify Payments or other payment providers selected during checkout to authorize and complete transactions.
Production and fulfilment partners: We may share your name, order details, shipping address, telephone number and other necessary information with print-on-demand and fulfilment providers, including Tapstitch where applicable, so your products can be produced, packaged and shipped.
Shipping carriers: Delivery information is shared with postal services, couriers and logistics providers responsible for transporting and delivering your order.
Technology and business providers: We may disclose information to hosting, security, fraud-prevention, customer-support, accounting, analytics, email, data-storage and website-service providers.
Advertising and marketing partners: Subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements, we may disclose identifiers, transaction information and website-usage information to advertising or marketing platforms for campaign delivery, personalization and measurement.
Professional advisers: Information may be disclosed to accountants, insurers, auditors, lawyers and other professional advisers where reasonably necessary.
Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order or valid governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, enforce our terms or protect the safety and rights of Weekend Bear Club, our customers or others.
Business transactions: Information may be transferred as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, sale, restructuring, insolvency or transfer of some or all of our business or assets.
SHOPIFY’S PROCESSING OF YOUR INFORMATION
Because our store is powered by Shopify, Shopify may collect and process information about your interactions with our store. Shopify may also use information obtained through multiple Shopify merchants and services where permitted by its terms and your privacy choices.
Information about Shopify’s processing practices and your rights with Shopify is available through the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy.
SALE, SHARING AND TARGETED ADVERTISING
Weekend Bear Club does not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, some privacy laws may define certain disclosures to advertising or analytics partners as “selling,” “sharing” or processing for targeted advertising, even when no money is exchanged.
Where applicable, you may opt out using our cookie-consent controls, an available privacy-choices page or a recognized Global Privacy Control signal.
If enabled for our store, privacy choices may be submitted at Your Privacy Choices.
SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information unless it is necessary to provide a requested service, prevent fraud or comply with law. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about customers.
Please do not send government identification numbers, complete financial details, medical records or other unnecessary sensitive information through email or customer-service forms.
DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain your account, complete transactions, meet accounting or tax requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and enforce agreements.
Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected and applicable legal requirements. When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize or securely dispose of it.
SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, misuse or disclosure.
No electronic transmission, website or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you should avoid sending confidential information through unsecured communication channels.
If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and restricting access to your account. Please contact us if you believe your account or personal information has been compromised.
INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING AND TRANSFERS
Weekend Bear Club and its service providers may process or store personal information outside your province, territory or country, including in Canada, the United States and countries where Shopify, payment processors, technology providers, production facilities or shipping partners operate.
When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement authorities or government agencies in accordance with local law.
Where required, appropriate contractual or legal safeguards will be used for international transfers, including recognized contractual clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our services are not directed toward children under 13 or the minimum age established by applicable local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children without legally valid parental or guardian authorization.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 for targeted advertising. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided personal information to us may contact us to request its deletion.
YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning the personal information we maintain about you. These rights may include access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction of processing, withdrawal of consent and objection to certain uses or disclosures.
You may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, qualifying data sharing or qualifying sales of personal information, and the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right.
These rights are not absolute. We may decline or limit a request where permitted by law, including when information must be retained to complete a transaction, comply with law, prevent fraud, establish legal claims or protect the rights of others.
CANADIAN PRIVACY RIGHTS
Canadian residents may request access to personal information held about them, ask how it has been used or disclosed, request corrections and withdraw consent for future processing where consent is the applicable basis.
Withdrawing consent may prevent us from providing services that reasonably require the affected information. We will explain the consequences of withdrawal where appropriate.
If you have unresolved concerns about our privacy practices, you may have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the privacy authority responsible for your province or territory.
UNITED STATES PRIVACY RIGHTS
Residents of certain United States jurisdictions may have rights to know or access personal information, request correction or deletion, obtain a portable copy, opt out of targeted advertising or qualifying data sharing and appeal certain decisions.
Where required, authorized agents may submit requests on behalf of individuals. We may request proof of authorization and may require the individual to verify their identity directly.
EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, UNITED KINGDOM AND SWITZERLAND
Residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information; restrict or object to processing; withdraw consent; and lodge a complaint with their local data-protection authority.
Where we rely on consent, withdrawing consent does not affect processing lawfully completed before withdrawal. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object based on your particular circumstances.
HOW TO SUBMIT A PRIVACY REQUEST
You may exercise an applicable privacy right by contacting us using the information provided below. Please write “Privacy Request” in the subject line and clearly describe your request.
Before completing a request, we may need to verify your identity using information reasonably connected to your account or transactions. We will use verification information only to evaluate and respond to your request.
We will respond within the period required by applicable law. If we deny a request, we will provide an explanation where legally required and inform you of any available appeal process.
MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
