If you have any questions regarding this information or our privacy practices, please contact use via the methods set out in the How to Contact Us section at the end of this Privacy Policy.

User-Generated Content
If you contact us, such as through email, we may collect any personal information that you share with us in your message. If you choose to leave a product review, we collect the content of your review, the rating that you assign to the product, and the date you submitted the review.
Device Information
We may collect device information when you visit our Site. Device information may include your computer and mobile device type, browser type, online identifiers, IP address, and geolocation information.
Internet Activity
We may collect information concerning your interaction with our Site, including when you access the Site and your browsing activity on the Site (such as which pages you visit, in what order, and for how long). This may include “traffic data” or tracking information provided by the Site’s host or similar providers (e.g., Google Analytics) that may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the Service.
You are not required to provide all personal information identified in this Privacy Policy to use our Service or to interact with us, but certain functionality will not be available if you do not provide certain personal information. For example, if you do not provide certain personal information, we may not be able to respond to your requests, allow you to register an account, or provide you with promotional notices that we believe you may find valuable.
- Cookies
We store certain information that gets collected automatically at our end through cookies and other similar technologies. A cookie is a small string of information that a website that you visit transfers to your browser for identification purposes. Cookies can be used to follow your activity while using a website or across websites, and that information helps companies understand your preferences and tendencies, as well as improve and personalize your website experience. Some cookies are necessary to operate a website, while others can be functional, analytical, or used for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising (as discussed in more detail below). Cookies on our Site are generally divided into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. These are required for the operation of our Site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into password-protected portions of our Site and cookies that save items in your online shopping cart.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of users on our Site and understand how such users navigate through the Site (e.g., when and which pages are visited, in what order the pages are visited, and where a user is located). This helps improve how the Site works, for example, by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily.
We use Google Analytics for part of this process. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt-out of Google Analytics’ collection and use of data generated by your use of the Site by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Functional Cookies. These improve the functional performance of the Site and make it easier for you to use. For example, cookies are used to remember that you previously visited our Site and asked to remain logged into it (e.g., this saves your username). These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device for us to use during your next visit to on our Site.
- Marketing Cookies. These are used to track visitors across websites. These cookies are used to display ads that are relevant and engaging to you.
In addition, Shopify uses certain strictly necessary cookies to enable the online store to function properly as well as analytical/performance cookies. For more information regarding Shopify’s cookies, visit https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.
You can prevent the use of certain cookies by modifying your Internet browser settings, typically under the sections “Help,” “internet Options,” or “Settings.” If you disable or delete certain cookies in your Internet browser settings, you may still access our Site, however, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of our Site (such as the shopping cart feature), and you may, for example, be required to re-enter your log-in details.
Do-Not-Track Signals
At this time, Sundree does not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include “do-not-track” instructions.

As such we have no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any such websites. Please note that these other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information, and we encourage you to review their policies before engaging with these third-party sites.
