When you choose to buy from our store, we want to assure you that we handle your personal information with care. As you go through the purchasing process, we collect details like your name, address, and email address. Additionally, while you explore our store, we automatically receive your computer's internet protocol (IP) address to better understand your browser and operating system.
With your permission, we may also reach out to you through email to share updates about our store, introduce new products, and keep you informed. Your trust means a lot to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to enhance your shopping experience.
Section 2 - Consent
When you share personal information with us to finalize a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, or organize a delivery or return, we consider this as an implicit agreement for us to collect and use your information solely for that specific purpose.
If we ever seek your personal information for a secondary purpose, such as marketing, we will either directly request your explicit consent or offer you the opportunity to decline.
How can you revoke your consent?
Should you have a change of heart after opting in, you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.

SECTION 3 - Disclosure
We might need to share your personal information if it becomes necessary by law or in the event of a violation of our Terms of Service.
Section 4 - Shopify
Our store is proudly hosted on Shopify Inc., which furnishes us with a robust online e-commerce platform, facilitating the sale of our products and services to you.
Your data is securely stored through Shopify's data storage, databases, and the overall Shopify application, all of which are housed on a secure server protected by a firewall.
Payment:
If you opt for a direct payment gateway to finalize your purchase, Shopify securely stores your credit card data, employing encryption in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is retained only for the necessary duration to complete the transaction. Once the transaction is finalized, your purchase information is promptly deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the stringent standards outlined by PCI-DSS, overseen by the PCI Security Standards Council, a collaborative effort involving major brands such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. These requirements ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
For a deeper understanding, we invite you to peruse Shopify's Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy). Your trust is of utmost importance to us, and we want you to feel confident in the security measures implemented to protect your information.
Section 5 - About third-party services we work with
At our core, we prioritize transparency and your privacy. Typically, the third-party providers we engage with collect, use, and disclose your information solely to perform the services they offer us. However, it's essential to note that specific third-party service providers, like payment gateways and transaction processors, have their own privacy policies concerning the information required for purchase-related transactions.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how they handle your personal information. It's worth mentioning that some providers may operate in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you decide to proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. For instance, if you're in Canada and your transaction is processed by a U.S.-based payment gateway, your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you navigate away from our store's website or are redirected to a third-party site or application, please be aware that you are no longer governed by our Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service on our website.
