DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
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 through Shopify's data storage, databases and the general
Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is
encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). 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.
For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify's Terms of Service here or Privacy Statement here.
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.
For these
providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal
information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in
or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with
a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject
to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if
you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then
your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure 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 our website's Terms of Service.

These advertising companies serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated websites, and some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on personal information collected about your visits to our websites and elsewhere over time. Other companies may also use such technology to advertise on our websites.
