ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE

ARTICLE 4 – SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell you our services and products. Your data is stored in 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 make your purchase through a direct payment gateway, then Shopify will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted in accordance with the data security standard established by the payment card industry (PCI-DSS standard). The information related to your purchase transaction is retained as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is completed, the information related to the purchase transaction is deleted. All direct payment gateways comply with the PCI-DSS standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which results from the joint effort of companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

The requirements of the PCI-DSS standard ensure the secure processing of credit card data by our store and its service providers. For more information, please refer to Shopify's Terms of Use here or the Privacy Policy here.

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, some 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 them for your purchase transactions.

Regarding 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 noted that some providers may be located or have facilities located in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. So if you decide to proceed 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 those of 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 U.S. legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store's site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions of Use of our website.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it will be encrypted using the SSL security protocol and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS standards and implement additional standards generally recognized by the industry.
