TuneHugs Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
TuneHugs respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently and securely.
This Privacy Policy explains how TuneHugs collects, uses, stores and shares personal information when you visit tunehugs.com, purchase a TuneHugs product, submit information for personalization, communicate with us, or otherwise use our website, products and services.
TuneHugs is powered by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce infrastructure used to operate our online store.
For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and UK GDPR, the data controller is:

1. Personal Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with TuneHugs.
When you purchase or use our Services, we may collect your name, email address, billing information, country or region, transaction information and information necessary to process and support your order.
Because TuneHugs creates personalized products, we may also collect information that you voluntarily provide for personalization. This may include names, relationships, memories, personal stories, occasions, places, dates, preferences, emotions, creative preferences and other details concerning the recipient or other people mentioned in your order.
We may also collect communications that you send to us, including customer support requests, revision requests and other correspondence.
When you use our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, website interactions and information collected through cookies or similar technologies.
Payment card information is primarily processed by Shopify, Shopify Payments and other authorized payment providers. TuneHugs does not normally receive or store your complete payment-card number. We may receive transaction information, payment status and limited billing information necessary to process and support your purchase.
2. Personalization and Memory Information
A central part of the TuneHugs service is the creation of personalized content from information provided by the customer.
When you submit memories, names, relationships, stories or other personal information, we use this information for the purpose of creating, reviewing, delivering and supporting the personalized product you purchased.
You should provide only information that is reasonably necessary for the creation of your TuneHugs product.
If you provide personal information relating to another person, including the recipient of a gift, you are responsible for ensuring that you are permitted to provide that information to us.
3. Sensitive Personal Information
TuneHugs does not ask customers to provide sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely relevant and appropriate for the requested personalization.
Please avoid providing information concerning health, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions, sexual orientation, biometric information or other highly sensitive information unless it is genuinely necessary to the story you wish to tell and you are legally permitted to provide that information.
Where sensitive information is voluntarily provided, we will process it only where permitted by applicable law and only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide the requested personalized service.
We may choose not to use certain information if we consider it unnecessary, inappropriate or legally problematic.
4. How We Use Personal Information
We use personal information to operate TuneHugs and provide the products and services you request.
This includes processing orders and payments, creating personalized songs and dedications, creating associated images and digital materials, operating private Memory Pages where included with a purchase, communicating about your order, providing customer support, handling revisions or corrections, preventing fraud and abuse, maintaining the security of our systems and complying with legal and regulatory requirements.
We may also use information to understand how customers use our website and to improve our products, website and customer experience.
Where permitted, we may send marketing communications or use advertising and analytics technologies. Where applicable law requires consent, such processing will occur only after the required consent has been obtained.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR or similar data protection laws apply, TuneHugs processes personal information only where there is an appropriate legal basis.
We primarily rely on performance of a contract when processing information necessary to accept your order, create your personalized product, process payment, provide your digital deliverables, operate purchased services such as a Memory Page and provide customer support.
We rely on legal obligations where information must be processed or retained for accounting, tax, regulatory or other legal requirements.
We may rely on our legitimate interests where reasonably necessary to operate, secure and improve TuneHugs, prevent misuse and fraud, maintain business records, understand the performance of our Services and protect our legal rights, provided those interests do not override your fundamental privacy rights.
We rely on consent where applicable law requires it, including for certain marketing communications, non-essential cookies, tracking technologies and personalized advertising.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.
6. AI and Creative Technology
TuneHugs uses technology and artificial-intelligence-assisted tools as part of the creative production process.
Depending on the product purchased, information submitted with an order may be processed by technology providers used for tasks such as text generation and editing, music creation, image creation or editing, quality control, cloud processing, storage and delivery.
We seek to limit the information provided to these services to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant production task.
Where these providers act on our behalf as service providers or processors, we use appropriate contractual, organizational and technical safeguards as required by applicable law.
Certain technology providers may also process information according to their own applicable terms and privacy notices.
TuneHugs does not use customer personalization information for unrelated advertising purposes.
7. Children
TuneHugs purchases are intended to be made by adults.
However, TuneHugs products may be purchased by a parent, guardian or other authorized adult as a personalized gift for a child. In such cases, the adult customer may provide limited information concerning the child, such as their name, age, interests, family relationships or memories relevant to the personalized product.
We process this information only for purposes reasonably necessary to create and deliver the requested product and in accordance with applicable law.
You should not provide personal information about a child unless you are legally permitted to do so.
If you believe personal information about a child has been provided to TuneHugs improperly, please contact us at hello@tunehugs.com.
8. Sources of Personal Information
We collect personal information directly from you when you complete an order, provide personalization information, contact us or otherwise interact with TuneHugs.
We also receive certain information automatically through our website, cookies and similar technologies.
We may receive information from Shopify, payment providers, fraud-prevention services, analytics providers and other service providers involved in operating the TuneHugs service.
9. How We Share Personal Information
We disclose personal information only where reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide your purchased product, comply with legal obligations or protect our legitimate interests.
This may include disclosure to Shopify, payment processors, hosting and cloud providers, email delivery providers, technology and AI service providers, analytics providers, security and fraud-prevention providers, professional advisers and other vendors supporting the operation of TuneHugs.
We may also disclose information when required by law, court order or a valid request from a government or regulatory authority, or when reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
If TuneHugs undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable legal protections.
We do not sell personal information for money.
Depending on applicable privacy laws, certain disclosures associated with targeted advertising or advertising technologies may legally be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. Where applicable, customers may exercise the available opt-out rights through:
https://tunehugs.com/pages/data-sharing-opt-out
10. Shopify and Shopify Network Intelligence
Our online store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce infrastructure, checkout, payment, security, analytics and related services used to operate the TuneHugs store.
Shopify collects and processes personal information concerning your access to and use of the TuneHugs store in order to provide these services.
We currently use Shopify Network Intelligence and certain Shopify Enhanced Services. When these services are enabled, Shopify may securely use information about your interactions with TuneHugs together with information from your interactions with other Shopify merchants and with Shopify.
This processing may help TuneHugs and Shopify provide a more personalized shopping experience, improve store and service performance, understand how customers interact with our store and advertising, and provide more relevant advertising.
Information submitted through or generated by your interaction with the TuneHugs store may therefore be shared with Shopify and authorized third-party service providers. These parties may process information in countries other than the country in which you live.
No other Shopify merchant is permitted to directly access TuneHugs customer data through Shopify Network Intelligence.
Where applicable law requires consent, including in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, information collected through non-essential cookies or similar technologies will not be used for these purposes unless the required consent has been obtained. You may withdraw or change your consent through the privacy controls available on our website.
Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to opt out of processing that is considered targeted advertising, or the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable privacy laws. Where available, you can exercise these choices through our Your Privacy Choices page.
Shopify may act as an independent controller or business for certain processing connected with its Enhanced Services. You may learn more about Shopify's processing practices and your rights directly through the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and Shopify Privacy Portal.
If you request deletion of personal information through TuneHugs, applicable information associated with Shopify Network Intelligence will also be handled in accordance with Shopify's privacy processes and applicable law.
11. Cookies, Analytics and Advertising
TuneHugs and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain security, remember preferences, measure website performance and, where enabled, support analytics and advertising.
Essential cookies may be required for the operation of the store and checkout.
Where applicable law requires consent, non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking technologies will not be activated until the required consent has been obtained.
You can manage available privacy choices through the cookie and privacy controls presented on our website.
Where supported, TuneHugs also respects applicable Global Privacy Control signals.
12. Marketing Communications
If you choose to receive marketing emails from TuneHugs, we may send you information about our products, offers or other relevant updates.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link contained in our marketing emails.
Even if you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may still send transactional or service-related communications concerning an order, payment, delivery, security issue or customer-support request.
13. International Transfers
TuneHugs operates internationally and uses service providers that may process information outside your country of residence.
As a result, personal information may be transferred to, stored in or processed in countries outside the European Economic Area or United Kingdom.
Where applicable law requires additional safeguards for such transfers, we rely on recognized mechanisms such as adequacy decisions, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or other legally recognized safeguards.
14. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and to satisfy legal, accounting, tax, contractual and regulatory obligations.
Transaction and accounting information may be retained for the period required under applicable law.
Customer-support communications may be retained where reasonably necessary to resolve issues, document the service provided and protect our legal rights.
Personalization information and creative production materials are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to produce, deliver, support and, where applicable, re-access the purchased product.
Where a TuneHugs purchase includes long-term hosting of a private Memory Page or associated digital content, the relevant digital assets and information may be retained for the hosting period included with the purchase, which may be up to 10 years, unless the customer requests earlier deletion and no legal or contractual requirement prevents us from complying with that request.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete or anonymize it.
15. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
We also use appropriate access controls, security measures and service providers designed to support the confidentiality and integrity of personal information processed through TuneHugs.
However, no online system, electronic transmission or storage technology can guarantee absolute security.
You should avoid sending highly confidential or sensitive information through unsecured communication channels.
16. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
These may include the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of information, request restriction of processing, object to certain processing, receive certain information in a portable format and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You may also have the right to object to or opt out of certain forms of targeted advertising, sale or sharing of personal information.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions.
To exercise a privacy right, contact us at hello@tunehugs.com.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
17. Rights of Customers in the EEA and United Kingdom
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR.
These may include the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, request restriction of processing and lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
If processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
You may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the country where you live or work.
Because TuneHugs is operated from Greece, you may also contact the Hellenic Data Protection Authority.
18. United States Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.
Depending on your state, these may include rights to know or access personal information, request correction or deletion, obtain a portable copy of information and opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale or sharing activities.
Where required, you may exercise applicable advertising or data-sharing opt-out rights through:
https://tunehugs.com/pages/data-sharing-opt-out
We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right provided by applicable law.
19. Automated Decision-Making
TuneHugs does not currently use personal information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning customers.
We may use automated systems to assist with fraud prevention, security, personalization, creative production and quality-control processes, but these systems are not used to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you.
20. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
TuneHugs does not control the privacy or security practices of independent third parties. If you follow a link to another website or use a third-party service, you should review that provider's privacy policy and terms.
21. Complaints
If you have a concern about how TuneHugs handles your personal information, please contact us first at hello@tunehugs.com so that we can investigate and respond.
Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection or privacy authority.
22. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our Services, technology, service providers, business practices or applicable legal requirements.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date shown at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
