PRIVACY POLICY STORE AND PHYSICAL PRODUCTS

PRIVACY POLICY STORE AND PHYSICAL PRODUCTS

Last updated: 07 July 2026

Raccoon Machines (“Raccoon,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Raccoon Machines website and sells physical products through our online commerce and checkout services (collectively, the “Store Services”).

Our website may direct you to checkout services powered by Shopify. Shopify provides commerce infrastructure that enables us to process orders, accept payments, and support related checkout functions.

This Store Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information when you visit our website, interact with the Store Services, purchase or return a physical product, or otherwise communicate with us regarding an order or physical product.

This Store Privacy Policy does not apply to the Inspect mobile application, Inspect Pro, inspection media, cloud processing, or generated inspection reports. Those services are covered by our separate Privacy Policy — Inspect App & Services.

If there is a conflict between our Terms of Sale and this Store Privacy Policy regarding the collection, processing, or disclosure of personal information, this Store Privacy Policy controls.

Personal Information We Collect or Process

When we use the term “personal information,” we mean information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person.

Personal information does not include information collected anonymously or information that has been de-identified so that it cannot reasonably identify or be linked to you.

Depending on how you interact with the Store Services, where you live, and as permitted or required by applicable law, we may collect or process the following categories of personal information, including inferences drawn from this information:

  • Contact information, including your name, address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.

Relationship With Shopify

We use Shopify to provide checkout, order processing, payment-related commerce functionality, and other services related to purchases made through the Store Services.

When you proceed to a Shopify-powered checkout, information you submit through the checkout process may be collected and processed by Shopify in order to provide checkout and commerce services to you and to us.

Shopify may also collect and process information about your interaction with Shopify-powered checkout and commerce features.

We may use certain Shopify features that incorporate information from interactions with Shopify-powered commerce services to provide analytics, security, marketing, advertising, or enhanced commerce functionality.

For certain services and features, Shopify may process personal information for its own purposes and is responsible for that processing as described in the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy.

Information processed through Shopify may be transmitted to and processed in countries other than the country where you reside.

To learn more about how Shopify uses personal information and the privacy rights or choices that may be available to you, please review the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and Shopify Privacy Portal.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Store Services may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website and checkout, remember preferences, understand how the Store Services are used, provide security and fraud prevention, measure performance, and support marketing or advertising.

Cookies and similar technologies used on the Raccoon Machines website may differ from those used through Shopify-powered checkout and commerce services.

Our use of cookies and similar technologies may depend on your location, consent choices, browser settings, and available privacy controls.

Where required by applicable law, we provide mechanisms to manage applicable privacy or cookie choices.

Third-Party Websites and Links

The Store Services may provide links to websites or online platforms operated by third parties.

This includes Shopify-powered checkout and may include shipping carriers, payment services, social media platforms, or other third-party services.

If you follow a link to a third-party service that is not controlled by us, you should review that service's privacy and security policies and other applicable terms.

We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or practices of third-party websites or services.

Our inclusion of a third-party link does not, by itself, constitute an endorsement of that third party or its services.

Children's Data

The Store Services are not intended to be used by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of majority in the applicable jurisdiction.

If you are a parent or guardian of a child who has provided personal information to us, you may contact us using the information below to request deletion where applicable.

As of the effective date of this Store Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we “sell” or “share,” as those terms are defined under applicable privacy laws, personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Security and Retention of Personal Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.

However, no security measure, transmission method, or storage system is perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute or “perfect” security.

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

How long we retain personal information depends on factors including whether the information is needed to maintain customer account features, provide the Store Services, process and document transactions, fulfill orders, provide support, comply with legal, tax, or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or enforce our agreements and policies.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable legal requirements.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights described below regarding your personal information.

These rights are not absolute, may apply only in certain circumstances, and we may decline a request where permitted by applicable law.

  • Right to Access or Know. You may have the right to request access to personal information we maintain about you.

  • Right to Delete. You may have the right to request deletion of personal information we maintain about you.

If you visit the Store Services with a Global Privacy Control opt-out preference signal enabled, we may treat the signal as an opt-out request where required by applicable law and supported by the applicable website or Shopify privacy configuration.

Other than legally required or supported preference signals, we may not recognize other “Do Not Track” signals sent by a browser or device.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a privacy request, as permitted or required by applicable law.

Where permitted by applicable law, you may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We may require proof that the agent is authorized to act for you and may require you to verify your identity directly with us.

We will respond to verified requests within the time required by applicable law.

Communication Preferences

We may send promotional emails or other marketing communications where permitted by applicable law.

You may opt out of promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in those emails.

If you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue to send non-promotional communications relating to orders, transactions, shipping, customer support, product safety, or other service-related matters.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to appeal a decision regarding a privacy request or submit a complaint to an applicable data protection authority.

Where required by applicable law, recognized safeguards or transfer mechanisms may be used for international transfers of personal information.

For information processed by Shopify, Shopify maintains information regarding its international data transfer practices and applicable safeguards in its privacy and data protection materials.
