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
reason only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing,
we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with
an opportunity to say no.

SECTION 4 – Amazon and Stripe
Our store is hosted on Amazon Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce
platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.
Your data is stored through Amazon data storage, databases, and the general Amazon
application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway (Stripe) to complete your purchase, then
our payment gateway provider stores your credit card data. It is encrypted
through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your
purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is 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 the secure handling of credit card information
by our store and its service providers.

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, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other
payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to
the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related
transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you
can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by
these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have
facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either 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.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed
by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal
information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure
under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
