Privacy policy
SECTION 1 - OUR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
Whenever you make a purchase from our store, we gather personal information that you provide, such as your name, address, and email address, as a necessary part of the buying and selling process.
As you navigate our store, we automatically collect your computer’s IP address. This assists us in gathering information that aids us in understanding your browser and operating system preferences.
Email Communications: Subject to your consent, we may send you emails about our store, including information about new products and other updates.
SECTION 2 - CONSENT MANAGEMENT
How is Your Consent Obtained?
Your consent is presumed when you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, confirm your credit card, place an order, arrange a delivery, or manage a return. If we require your personal information for a secondary purpose, like marketing, we will either request your explicit consent or provide you with an option to decline.
Withdrawing Consent
If you decide to withdraw your consent after opting in, you can do so at any time. To withdraw your consent for us to contact you or for the ongoing collection, use, or disclosure of your information, please contact us at uniqueflooringgta@gmail.com.
SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE
Your personal information may be disclosed if required by law or if you breach our Terms of Service.
SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY
Our store is powered by Shopify Inc., providing the e-commerce platform necessary for our product and service sales.
Your data, stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application, is secured on a server protected by a firewall.
Payment Information:
If you select a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify will store your credit card data. It is encrypted per the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is only retained for the duration necessary to complete your purchase. Post-transaction, this information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards of PCI-DSS, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a collaborative effort of companies like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
PCI-DSS standards ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
For more details, consider reviewing Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.
SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Our third-party service providers will only use your information as necessary to perform services for us.
Note that certain providers, like payment gateways and other transaction processors, have their privacy policies concerning information we must provide for your transaction-related purchases.
It’s advisable to read their privacy policies to understand how they will handle your personal information.
Be aware that some providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than you or us. Therefore, if you engage in a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where the provider or its facilities are located.
Cross-Border Transactions:
For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed through a payment gateway in the United States, your personal information used in that transaction could be subject to disclosure under U.S. law, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party site or application, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service no longer apply.
