Section 1 – What Information Do We Collect?

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information such as your name, address, and email address as part of the buying and selling process.

Section 2 – Consent

How do we get your consent?
By providing your personal information to complete a transaction—such as verifying your payment method, placing an order, arranging delivery, or processing a return—you imply that you consent to our collecting and using it for that specific purpose.

If we need your personal information for any secondary purpose, like marketing, we will ask for your explicit consent or provide you the opportunity to decline.

How can you withdraw your consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at:

Section 3 – Disclosure of Information

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Section 4 – Payments

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council—an initiative supported by brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

These standards help ensure your credit card information is handled securely by us and our service providers.

Section 5 – Third-Party Services

Our third-party providers only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform their services for us.

For example, payment processors may have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how your data is handled.

Please note: If a third-party provider is based in a different jurisdiction than you, your data may be subject to that region’s laws.
Example: If you are in Canada and your payment is processed in the United States, U.S. laws (including the Patriot Act) may apply.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party site or application, our Privacy Policy no longer applies.

External Links
Links on our store may lead to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Section 6 – Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

If you provide credit card information, it is encrypted via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and stored using AES-256 encryption.
Although no method of data transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we adhere to PCI-DSS standards and apply additional security protocols.

Section 7 – Cookies

We will update this section if and when cookies are implemented on our site.

Section 8 – Age of Consent

By using this website, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your region, or that you are the age of majority and have given consent for any minor dependents to use this site.

Section 9 – Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. Updates take effect immediately upon being posted on our website.

If significant changes are made, we will notify you here, so you are aware of what data we collect and how we use it.

In the event of a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred to the new owners to continue providing you with our services.
