Section 1 – Information we collect

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect the personal information you provide as part of the buying and selling process. This may include your name, billing and shipping address, email address, and payment details.

When you browse our website, we automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to help us understand your browser, device, and operating system.

With your permission, we may also send you marketing emails about our store, new products, promotions, or updates.


Section 2 – Consent

How do we obtain your consent?

When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange delivery, or return an item, you consent to our collection and use of that information for those specific purposes only.

If we request your personal information for any secondary purpose—such as marketing—we will ask for your express consent or provide you with the option to decline.

How can you withdraw your consent?

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent at any time for us to contact you or for the continued use or disclosure of your information.

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 online store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

Your data is stored securely on Shopify’s servers behind a firewall.

Payments

If you choose a direct payment method, Shopify stores your credit card data. This information is encrypted using Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) protocols. Your purchase information is retained only as long as necessary to complete the transaction, after which it is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of major brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
These standards ensure the secure handling of credit card information.

Section 5 – Third-Party Services

We may engage third-party providers to assist with various aspects of our operations. These providers collect, use, and disclose your information only as needed to perform their services.

Certain third-party providers (such as payment gateways) have their own privacy policies regarding the information we share with them. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how your personal data is handled.

Please note that some providers may operate in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you engage in a transaction that involves a third-party provider located elsewhere, your information may become subject to that country’s laws.
For example, if you are located in Canada and a U.S.-based provider processes your payment, your personal 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 platform, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of any external sites you visit.

Additionally, by using our website, you consent to third parties processing your IP address for currency conversion purposes. This data may be stored in a temporary session cookie to keep currency selections consistent while you browse.


Section 6 – Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

When you provide payment information, it is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption.
Although no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and apply additional industry safeguards.


Section 7 – Age of Consent

By using this website, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority and have given consent for your minor dependents to use this site.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on our website. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we collect, use, and protect your information.

If we make material updates, we will post a notice here to inform you of the changes.

In the event our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so we can continue serving you.
