Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
Shopify and Data Storage
Our online store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the secure e-commerce platform we use to sell our products.
Your data is stored through Shopify’s secure servers, databases, and application layers, all protected behind firewalls.
Payment Processing
If you use a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your encrypted credit card data under PCI-DSS standards.
Transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase and is then deleted.
All direct payment gateways follow PCI-DSS requirements managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover).

Third-party providers only collect or use your information as necessary to perform services for us.
Some providers—such as payment processors—have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them to understand how they manage personal information.
Be aware that certain third-party providers may operate in different jurisdictions. If you engage with a provider located outside your country, your data may become subject to that jurisdiction’s laws (e.g., U.S. Patriot Act).
Once you leave our store or are redirected to an external website, this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service no longer apply.
