We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

We use your “Personal Information” to provide our services to you, which includes: offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfillment of your order, and keeping you up to date on new products, services, and offers.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are also talking both about “Device Information” and “Order Information”

CONSENT:  When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase if applicable, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

DISCLOSURE:  We may disclose/share your personal information if we are required by law and regulations to do so, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights, or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SHOPIFY:  Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services 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 behind a firewall. Payment: If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
