When you make a purchase from our store, as part of our buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide to us, such as your name, address, and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol address, or IP address, which allows us to obtain more details about the browser and operating system you are using.
Email marketing, if applicable: With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
ARTICLE 2 - CONSENT
How do you obtain my consent?
When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange a delivery, or return a purchase, we assume that you consent to our collecting your information and using it for that specific purpose only.
If we ask you to provide your personal information for another reason, such as for marketing purposes, we will ask you directly for your explicit consent, or we will give you the opportunity to refuse.

ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you violate our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.
ARTICLE 4 – SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our services and products to you.
Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage system and databases, and in the general Shopify application. Your data is kept on a secure server protected by a firewall.
Payment:
If you complete your purchase through a direct payment gateway, Shopify will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI-DSS. The information relating to your purchase transaction is kept for as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order has been completed, the information relating to the purchase transaction is deleted.
All direct payment gateways comply with the PCI-DSS standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is the result of a joint effort by companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
The requirements of the PCI-DSS standard help ensure the secure processing of credit card data by our store and its service providers.

ARTICLE 5 – SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES
In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary 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.
With regard to these providers, we recommend that you carefully read their privacy policies so that you can understand how they will handle your personal information.
It should be remembered that certain providers may be located, or have facilities located, in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. Therefore, if you decide to continue with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party provider, your information may then 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 United States legislation, 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 by the Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use of our website.
