When you make a purchase on our site, as part of our buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide us, such as your name, address and email address.

Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our shop, new products and other updates.
ARTICLE 2 – CONSENT
How do you obtain my consent?
When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, schedule a delivery or return a purchase, we assume that you consent to our collecting your information and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask you to provide us with your personal information for another reason, such as for marketing purposes, we will ask you directly for your explicit consent, or we will give you the opportunity to decline.

ARTICLE 4 – Hosting
The website host is: Hosty – HLHinvest – 651 N Broad St, New Castle 19709
Your data is stored in Hosty’s data storage system and databases.
Payment:
If you make your purchase through a direct payment gateway, Stripe (the payment processor) will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted in accordance with the data security standard established by the payment card industry (PCI-DSS). Information relating to your purchase transaction is retained for as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is complete, the information relating to the purchase transaction is deleted.
All direct payment gateways comply with the PCI-DSS standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
The PCI-DSS requirements ensure the secure processing of credit card data by our shop and its service providers.
ARTICLE 5 – SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES
In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary 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 with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so that you can understand how they will treat your personal information.
Keep in mind that some providers may be located or have facilities in a different jurisdiction from either you or us. So if you decide to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party provider, your information may then be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or where its facilities are located.
For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information you provided to complete the transaction may be disclosed under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our shop site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it will be encrypted using SSL security protocol and stored with AES-256 encryption.
