When you make a purchase from our store, we collect the personal details you provide, such as your name, address, and email, as part of the transaction process.

Section 2 - Consent
How do we obtain your consent?
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment details, place an order, or arrange a delivery, we assume your consent to collect and use this information for that specific purpose only. If we request your personal information for other purposes, such as marketing, we will either seek your explicit consent or provide an opportunity to decline.

Section 3 - Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if legally required to do so or if you breach our Terms of Service.
Section 4 - Shopify
Our store operates on the Shopify platform, which provides us with an online e-commerce solution to sell our products and services. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application, which are securely maintained behind a firewall.
Payments: If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify will store your credit card details. This data is encrypted in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete the transaction and then deleted.
All direct payment gateways follow the PCI-DSS standards, as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes major brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. These standards help ensure secure handling of credit card data by our store and its service providers. For more information, please refer to Shopify's Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.
Section 5 - Third-Party Services
The third-party service providers we work with will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary for them to perform the services they offer us.
However, some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other transaction processors, have their own privacy policies governing the information we must provide to them for purchase-related transactions. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how your personal data will be handled.
Additionally, certain providers may be located in different jurisdictions than you or us. Consequently, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information could be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that provider or its facilities are located. For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a U.S.-based payment gateway, your personal information may be subject to U.S. legislation, such as the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party site or application, this Privacy Policy and our website’s Terms of Service no longer govern your interactions.
Links: Clicking on links within our store may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Google Analytics: Our store utilizes Google Analytics to gather insights about our site’s visitors and the pages they interact with.
Section 6 - Security
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to safeguard your personal information from being inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure, we adhere to all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
