Privacy Notice

SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

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

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to gather information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

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

SECTION 2 - CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific purpose only. If we ask for your personal information for a secondary purpose, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your explicit consent or provide you with an opportunity to opt out.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If, after opting in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, as well as for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information. You can do this at any time by contacting us at willowandzoeyboutique@gmail.com with the subject line "E-mail OPT Out" or by unsubscribing through the link provided in our promotional emails.

SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE

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

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

Your data: Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. It is stored on a secure server protected by a firewall.

Payment: If you use a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. This data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After the transaction is complete, your payment information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards, as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a collaboration of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

For more information, you may want to review Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, third-party providers used by us will collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent necessary for them to perform the services they provide.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide for your purchase-related transactions.

We recommend that you review their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Jurisdiction: Some providers may be located in or have facilities in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that provider or its facilities are located.

For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the United States, your personal information may be subject to disclosure under U.S. 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.

Links: 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 review their privacy statements.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide your credit card information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we adhere to PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards.
