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 information is collected and used.

SECTION 1 - HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address.

When you browse our store, 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.

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

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 and/or if required by law.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide 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. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data only as long as 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 wish to read Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

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 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.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

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, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.


SECTION 6 - SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it 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. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.

SECTION 7 - COOKIES

A 'cookie' is a small data file stored by your web browser on your computer's hard drive. It allows us to recognize your computer ( but not specifically who is using it ) upon entering our website by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other customer information you have provided us. That customer information is stored on our secured database. We use cookies to keep track of what you have in your shopping cart and to remember you when you return to the web site, as well as to identify the pages you click on during your visit to our website.
