PRIVACY POLICY

PRIVACY STATEMENT

SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you make a purchase from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect personal information that you provide to us, such as your name, address, and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address, which helps us gather data on your browser and operating system.
Email Marketing (if applicable): With your consent, we may send you emails about our store, new products, promotions, and other updates.

SECTION 2 – SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the online e-commerce platform that enables us to sell our products and services to you.
Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage systems, databases, and the general Shopify application. All data is securely stored on servers protected by firewalls.

Payment Information:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. This data is encrypted according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only for as long as necessary to complete the transaction, and it is deleted once the transaction is finalized.
All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, an organization formed by major brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
PCI-DSS standards ensure the secure handling of credit card information by both our store and its service providers.
For more detailed information, we encourage you to review Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

SECTION 3 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
We recommend reading their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers.
Please note that some providers may be located in or have facilities in jurisdictions other than your own. Therefore, if you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that provider or its facilities are based.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

Links
When you click on links within our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to review their privacy statements.

SECTION 4 – SECURITY
We take reasonable precautions and adhere to industry best practices to ensure your personal information is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, we follow PCI-DSS standards and implement additional widely accepted industry practices to protect your data.
