Privacy Policy

ARTICLE 1 – PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect the personal information you provide to us, such as your name, address, and email address. Additionally, when you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which helps us obtain more details about the browser and operating system you are using.

Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

ARTICLE 2 – CONSENT

How do you obtain my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, schedule a delivery, or return a purchase, we assume that you consent to our collecting and using your information for that specific purpose only. If we request your personal information for another reason, such as marketing, we will ask you directly for your explicit consent or provide you with the opportunity to decline.

How can I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you, collect your information, or disclose it by contacting us at hello@shoppesco.com.

ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our General Conditions of Sale and Use.

ARTICLE 4 – SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our services and products to you. Your data is stored in Shopify's data storage system and databases, and in the general Shopify application. Your data is stored on a secure server protected by a firewall.

Payment

When you make a purchase through our direct payment gateway, Shopify securely stores your credit card information. This data is encrypted according to the PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). Information related to your purchase transaction is retained only as long as necessary to complete your order.

Once the transaction is finalised, this data is promptly deleted. All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, overseen by the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes major credit card companies like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. These standards ensure the secure processing of your credit card information by our store and its service providers. For more details, refer to Shopify's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

ARTICLE 5 – SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES

Our third-party providers typically collect, use, and disclose your information solely to fulfil services they provide to us. However, certain providers, such as payment gateways, have their own privacy policies regarding your purchase-related information. We recommend reviewing these policies carefully to understand how your personal data will be handled.

Please note that some providers may operate under different jurisdictions than yours or ours. Therefore, when you engage in transactions requiring third-party services, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which those providers operate.

ARTICLE 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal data, we implement reasonable precautions and adhere to industry best practices to prevent unauthorised access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Credit card information you provide is encrypted using SSL security protocol and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is entirely secure, we comply with PCI-DSS requirements and industry standards.
