By providing personal information to us, such as for completing a transaction, verifying a credit card, placing an order, arranging delivery, or returning a purchase, you are giving us consent to collect and utilize that information solely for the intended purpose.
In the event that we require your personal information for additional purposes such as marketing, we will either directly seek your consent or offer you the option to decline.

SECTION 3 - DISCLAIMERS
Your personal information may be disclosed in the following circumstances: when mandated by law or if you breach our Terms of Service.
SECTION 4 - WIX
Wix Inc is the hosting platform for our store, enabling us to offer our range of products and services for online purchase.
Wix securely stores your data using its data storage, databases, and the Wix application. They employ a firewall to ensure that your data remains safe and store it on a server with high-security measures in place.
Payment:
When you opt for a direct payment gateway to finalize your purchase, Wix automatically saves your credit card information. This data is encrypted following the highest security standards - the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Rest assured that your purchase transaction information is retained only for the duration required to complete the transaction. Once the process is finished, your purchase transaction details are promptly deleted.
The standards set by the PCI Security Standards Council, a collaboration of major brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover, are followed by all direct payment gateways. These gateways ensure adherence to the PCI-DSS guidelines. PCI-DSS requirements are in place to ensure that our store and its service providers handle credit card information securely.
SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
With third-party services, we mean any services, applications, or content provided by a third-party that are integrated into our platform.

These services may include, but are not limited to, payment processors, social media integration, analytics tools, and content management systems.
When you use our platform, you understand and agree that some of your information may be shared with these third-party service providers. The information shared is limited to what is necessary for the proper functioning of the third-party service and is always in accordance with our privacy policy.
Please note that these third-party services have their own terms of service and privacy policies. We recommend reviewing these policies before using any third-party services integrated into our platform. We do not have control over the practices and policies of these third-party service providers.
Any interactions or transactions you have with third-party services are solely between you and the third-party service provider. We are not responsible for any issues, damages, or liabilities arising from your use of third-party services.
In the event that a third-party service becomes unavailable or terminates their integration with our platform, we may choose to remove or replace the service without prior notice. We will make reasonable efforts to minimize any inconvenience caused by such removal or replacement.
To the extent permitted by applicable laws, we disclaim all warranties, representations, and liabilities related to the use of third-party services. We encourage you to exercise caution and use your own judgment when engaging with third-party services on our platform.

Typically, the third-party providers we utilize will only gather, utilize, and reveal your information to the extent required for them to carry out the services they offer us.
However, please note that certain third-party service providers, including payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we need to share with them for your purchase transactions.
We advise you to go through the privacy policies of these providers to gain insight into how they will handle your personal information.
Please bear in mind that some service providers may operate in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you choose to proceed with a transaction that involves a third-party service provider, your personal information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that service provider or its facilities are located.
For instance, if you live in Canada and your transaction is handled by a payment gateway situated in the United States, your personal information utilized to complete that transaction could potentially be exposed according to United States laws, such as the Patriot Act.
