For marketing purposes, we will either ask for explicit consent or provide you with an option to decline.

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., which provides the e-commerce platform we use to sell our products. Your data is stored securely on Shopify’s servers, protected by a firewall.

Payments:
When you choose a direct payment method, Shopify securely stores your credit card data, encrypted according to PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). This ensures your information is protected and only stored as long as necessary to complete your purchase. Once finalized, your payment details are deleted.

For more details, refer to Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We only share your personal data with third-party service providers as needed to fulfill orders, process payments, and enhance our services.

However, payment gateways and other financial transaction processors have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them to understand how they handle your personal data.

International Data Transfers:
If a service provider is located in a different country, your data may be subject to that country’s laws. For example, transactions processed in the United States may fall under U.S. regulations such as the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our website or interact with a third-party application, our Privacy Policy no longer applies.

External Links:
Our website may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY
We take security seriously and follow industry best practices to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

If you provide payment details, they are encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and stored using AES-256 encryption. While no online transmission is 100% secure, we comply with PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional safeguards.

SECTION 7 - AGE OF CONSENT
By using this site, you confirm that you are at least the legal age of majority in your state or country. If you allow minor dependents to use our site, you are providing consent on their behalf.

SECTION 8 - CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will take effect immediately upon being posted here. If significant modifications are made, we will notify you accordingly.

If our business is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to continue providing services.
