Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 1, 2025
SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you purchase something from our store, we collect the personal information you provide — such as your name, address, and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer's IP address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.
Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
SECTION 2 – CONSENT
How do you get my consent?
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, we imply your consent to collect and use it for that specific reason only.
If we ask for your information for a secondary reason (e.g., marketing), we will ask directly for your express consent or provide an opportunity to decline.
How do I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by contacting us at:

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 store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services.
Your data is stored securely through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and application, behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you use a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data encrypted via PCI-DSS. Your transaction data is only stored as long as necessary to complete the transaction.
All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover).
SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Third-party providers will only collect, use, and disclose your information as needed to perform their services.
However, they may have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them for how your data is handled.
If located in a different jurisdiction, your information may be subject to their local laws.
Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY
We follow industry best practices and take precautions to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Credit card information is encrypted using SSL and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method is 100% secure, we follow PCI-DSS requirements and other accepted standards.
