The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes certain information as a data controller. Please review their Privacy Policy for details on how Shopify uses your information and your available rights.
Third-Party Websites and Links
Our Services may contain links to other websites not operated by Atlanta Mahjong Studio. We are not responsible for their privacy or security practices.
Children’s Data
Our Services are not directed toward children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us for removal.
Security and Retention of Your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect your information; however, no system is perfectly secure. Do not share sensitive or confidential data via unencrypted channels.
