Privacy policy
Last updated: May 13, 2026
TeaseCode operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, services, and educational materials (collectively, the "Services"). TeaseCode is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the store Services to you. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction using the Services, or otherwise communicate with us. If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information.
ADULT CONTENT NOTICE AND CONSENT
The Services include adult‑oriented products (lingerie, sex toys, BDSM gear) and educational content (the TeaseCode Academy). By accessing or using the Services, you expressly acknowledge and consent to the collection and processing of your personal information in connection with the purchase and use of these adult products. You also consent to receive marketing communications related to such products unless you opt out. We take your privacy seriously and treat all information related to adult purchases with heightened confidentiality to the extent possible, but we cannot guarantee anonymity due to the involvement of third‑party service providers (payment processors, shipping carriers) and legal obligations.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described below.

How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose your personal information to:

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. However, under some U.S. state laws, sharing data with advertising partners may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" for targeted advertising. You have the right to opt out (see below).
