SECTION 4 – Wix and Ecwid by Lightspeed

Our store is hosted on Wix for our website and Ecwid by Lightspeed for our store. They provide us with a hosting platform to sell our products and services to you.

Your data is stored through their databases and the general Wix hosting environment. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose Lightspeed, Google Pay, or Paypal credit card processing services, your credit card data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as 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 our store and its service providers' secure handling of credit card information.

We never store your credit card data.

 

SECTION 5 – 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, our third-party service providers, such as Wix, Ecwid by Lightspeed, Lightspeed payment processing, and Paypal payment services, have their privacy policies concerning the information we are required to provide them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies to understand how they will handle your personal information.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than 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.

For example, if you are located in Canada, and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the United States. Your personal information 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.

When you click on links on our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
