SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if 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 enables us to sell products and services to you.

Data storage

Your information is stored securely within Shopify’s databases and servers behind a firewall.

Payments

If you choose a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Transaction data is stored only as long as needed to complete your purchase, then deleted.

All direct payment gateways follow PCI-DSS standards maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

For additional details, you may review Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, or disclose your information as required to perform the services they provide.

However, certain providers, such as payment gateways, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we provide to them. You should review their policies to understand how your data is handled.

Some providers may operate in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you proceed with a transaction involving such a provider, your information may become subject to the laws of that jurisdiction. For example, if you are in Canada and your payment is processed in the United States, your data may be subject to U.S. laws such as the Patriot Act.

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

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from being lost, misused, accessed without authorization, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide credit card information, it is encrypted via SSL and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, we comply with PCI-DSS and implement additional security measures.
