When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

ECOMMERCE SOFTWARE

Our store is hosted on a cloud-based third party e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

We always use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our website and third-party providers. Your data is stored on secure servers behind a firewall. All secure data is encrypted with a 2048 bit encryption strength Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate using SHA2 hash. Our ecommerce software meets or exceeds the latest requirements set forth by the PCI Security Standards Council as they pertain to computer networks and systems, virtual and physical, which reside under the physical control of our ecommerce partner.

PAYMENT:

We can accept payment using Visa, Discover or Mastercard on our website. Payment will be taken immediately upon our acceptance of your order. We use Paypal Pro to process our online transactions. As a result, all financial or credit card data you supply will be processed and stored by Paypal. For direct credit card payments data security and privacy would fall under the Paypal’s privacy policy https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

You can also pay using the Paypal Express Checkout. If you choose to pay using Paypal Express Checkout, the payment would fall under the Paypal User Agreement https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full#3.

Paypal complies with the Payment Card Issuer (PCI) requirements on data security, and any payment card information and other financial details collected by Paypal will be stored and used in accordance with those security standards. 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.

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.

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 website’s Terms of Service.

SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with 2048 bit encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
