Section 1 – What Do We Do With Your Information?

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information 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 internet protocol (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 we obtain your consent?

By providing personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, you consent to our collecting and using it for that specific purpose only.

If we request your information for a secondary purpose, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your explicit consent or provide you with the opportunity to opt out.

Section 3 – Disclosure

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

Section 4 – WooCommerce

Our store is hosted on WooCommerce, which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services.

Your data is stored through WooCommerce’s secure data storage, databases, and application servers—all protected behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, WooCommerce stores your credit card data, which is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). This data is retained only as long as necessary to complete the transaction, after which it is deleted.

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (including brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover). These standards ensure secure handling of credit card information.

Section 5 – Third-Party Services

Third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform services on our behalf.

However, certain providers (e.g., payment gateways) have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how your data is handled.

Be aware that some providers may be located in, or operate from, different jurisdictions. If you choose to proceed with a transaction involving such a provider, your information may be subject to that jurisdiction’s laws.

Example: If you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a U.S.-based gateway, your data may be subject to U.S. laws such as the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store or are redirected to a third-party website or app, this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service no longer apply.

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 websites and encourage you to read their policies.

Section 6 – Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

If you provide credit card information, it is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we adhere to all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional security practices.
