Privacy Policy

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 the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to gain insights about your browser and operating system.

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

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

How do you obtain my consent?

When you give us personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we take this as your consent for us to collect and use that information solely for those purposes.

If we request your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask for your explicit consent or give you an option to decline.

How can I withdraw my consent?

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information at any time by reaching out to us at [email protected].

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if legally required or if you breach our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – PAYMENT

When using a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, your credit card information is encrypted using the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is stored only as long as needed to process your purchase, and it is deleted once the transaction is complete.

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

Your data is stored on a secure server protected by a firewall.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Generally, third-party providers we use only collect, use, and disclose your information as necessary to perform their services for us.

However, certain third-party service providers, like payment gateways and other transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we provide for your transactions. We advise reviewing their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled.

Certain providers may operate in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you engage in transactions involving a third-party provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the provider’s jurisdiction.

For instance, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the U.S., your personal information might be disclosed under U.S. law, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party site or application, you are no longer governed by our Privacy Policy or website’s Terms of Service.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from being lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide credit card information, it is encrypted using secure socket layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no online transmission or storage method is completely secure, we adhere to PCI-DSS requirements and additional industry standards.
