address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and
operating system.

new products, and other updates.
SECTION 2 - CONSENT
How do you get my 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, we imply that you consent to our
collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask
you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
How do I withdraw my consent?
If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you,
for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at

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 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.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your
information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment
transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to 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 you can understand
the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located
in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that
involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject
to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment
gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that
transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
