🔒 Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from our store.

SECTION 1 – What Do We Do With Your Information?

When you purchase something from our store, we collect the personal information you give us, such as your name, address, and email address, as part of the buying and selling process.
Additionally, when you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s IP address to help us understand your browser and operating system.

Email Marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

SECTION 2 – Consent

How do you get my consent?
By providing personal information to complete a transaction (e.g., verifying your credit card, placing an order, arranging delivery, or returning a purchase), you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we request your personal information for a secondary reason like marketing, we will ask you directly for expressed consent or offer you the opportunity to say no.

How do I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you can withdraw your consent for continued collection or use of your information at any time by contacting us at support@website.com.

SECTION 3 – Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – Shopify

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products to you.
Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage and secure databases, protected behind a firewall.

Payment:
If you use a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data, which is encrypted via the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). This data is retained only as long as necessary to complete your purchase.

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, governed by major brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
More details can be found in Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

SECTION 5 – Third-Party Services

Third-party providers used by us will collect and use your information only as necessary to perform the services they provide.

Some may operate in different jurisdictions. For instance, if your transaction is processed in another country, your data may be subject to that jurisdiction’s laws (e.g., U.S. Patriot Act).

Links:
Our store may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

SECTION 6 – Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access.
All credit card information is encrypted using SSL and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method is 100% secure, we follow PCI-DSS and industry standards.
