Section 4 – About Shopify

Our store is operated on the platform provided by Shopify Inc., which delivers the e-commerce infrastructure for us to supply products and services to you.

Your data is stored in Shopify’s data storage systems and databases via standard Shopify applications, and is kept on secure servers protected by firewalls.

If you select a direct payment gateway, your credit card information will be stored by Shopify in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).

Transaction data is retained only for the duration necessary to complete the purchase, and will be promptly deleted afterwards.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards established by the PCI Security Standards Council, jointly governed by card brands including Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. These standards ensure secure handling of credit card information by our store and affiliated service providers.

Section 5 – Third-Party Services

Third-party service providers engaged by us shall collect, use and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to perform their services.

Certain third-party providers, including payment gateways and payment processors, maintain their own independent privacy policies governing your transaction-related data. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of each relevant provider.

Please note that some service providers may be located or operate facilities in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. By conducting transactions via third-party services, your data will be subject to the laws of such jurisdictions.

For example, if you reside in Canada and your transaction is processed by a US-based payment gateway, your personal data may be disclosed in accordance with US laws including the USA PATRIOT Act.
