Privacy
PRIVACY STATEMENT
Protection of your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy is posted in order to explain our information collection practices and the choices you have regarding how your personal information is collected and used.
SECTION 1 - YOUR INFORMATION
We implement procedures to ensure that your personal information is handled in a safe, secure, and responsible manner.
Generally, you may browse the website without providing any personally identifiable information. However, we may ask you to provide personally identifiable information at various times and places on this website, such as when you make a purchase.
When you purchase something from our online store, we collect the personal information that you provide such as your name, address and email address, as part of the buying and selling process.
When you visit the website, our web server automatically collects anonymous information such as log data and IP addresses. We may use this anonymous information for a number of purposes such as improving our site design, product assortments, and customer service.
SECTION 2 - CONSENT
When you provide us with your personal information to place an order, complete a transaction and/or arrange for delivery of a purchase, you provide your implied consent for our collection and use of your personal information in connection with that purpose only.
With your consent, we may send you occasional emails about our new products, exclusive promotions or other updates.
You may withdraw your consent to receive our promotional emails at any time by contacting us via the CONTACT PAGE on our website or by clicking the "unsubscribe" link contained in each of our promotional emails.
SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE
We will not share your personal information with any third-parties, except in cases where we may disclose your personal information if you have violated our Terms of Service.
SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. Shopify provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. Shopify stores your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
If you choose the direct payment gateway to complete your purchase then Shopify stores your credit card data only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. Credit card data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). After the purchase transaction is completed, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of 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.
For more information, you may read Shopify’s Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).
SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the 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 third-party payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
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.
When you click on links on our store, these links may direct you away from our website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
SECTION 6 - SECURITY
We take precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information and make sure that your personal information is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. We follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
