7. Cookies
Cookies are small files saved to your device when you visit the Site. We use:
- Necessary cookies to run the store, such as your cart, checkout, login and region.
- Analytics cookies to understand how the Site is used (Shopify and Google Analytics).
- Marketing cookies to personalise and measure advertising (Meta, TikTok, Google, Pinterest, Klaviyo, Awin and ReferralCandy).
Most cookies expire between 30 minutes and two years after they’re set. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our cookie banner. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works. We don’t currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals.
8. Automated decision-making
We don’t make decisions that have a legal or similarly significant effect on you solely by automated means.
Our platform, Shopify, uses automated tools to help protect against fraud. These tools use order, payment, device and IP address information to assess the risk of a transaction. They may temporarily block IP addresses or cards linked to repeated failed transactions, and may flag orders for review. Flagged orders may be held or cancelled. If you think an order was wrongly declined, contact us at hello@rowiethelabel.com.
9. How long we keep it
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy, including to meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations. After that, we delete or de-identify it.
10. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmitting information online is completely secure.

- California and other US state residents: know what we collect, and request access, correction or deletion. You can also use an authorised agent by contacting us.
