Section 2 - Consent
How do you obtain my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange a delivery or return a purchase, we understand that you consent to our collecting and using it for that specific purpose only.
If we ask you for personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.

Section 3 - Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
Section 4 - Shopify
Our online store is hosted by Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products 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 protected by a firewall.
Payment
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. Once the transaction is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways comply with the standards set by PCI-DSS, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure processing of credit card information by our online store and its service providers.

Section 5 - Third-party services
In general, the third-party providers we work with will collect, use and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding 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 that you can understand how your personal information will be handled by them.
In particular, please remember that certain providers or their facilities may be located in a jurisdiction other than ours or yours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third-party provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider or its facilities are located.
For example, if you are located in France and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used to complete that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States law, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party application or website, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms and Conditions.
