ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Sale and Use.

ARTICLE 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 in Shopify's data storage system and databases, and in Shopify's general application. Your data is stored on a secure server protected by a firewall.

If you make a direct payment purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card information. This information is encrypted according to the payment card industry data security standard (PCI-DSS). Information related to your purchase transaction is stored for as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is finalized, information related to the purchase transaction is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the PCI-DSS security standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is the joint effort of companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

The requirements of the PCI-DSS standard ensure the secure processing of credit card data by our store and its service providers.

ARTICLE 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers we use 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 regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase transactions.

Regarding these providers, we recommend that you carefully read their privacy policies so that you can understand how they will treat your personal information.

It should be remembered that some providers may be located or have facilities located in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. So if you decide to pursue a transaction that requires the services of a third-party provider, your information may be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or the jurisdiction in which its facilities are located.

For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information belonging to you that was used to complete the transaction may be disclosed under U.S. law, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store's website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Sale and Use.
