PRIVACY STATEMENT - Version 5.0 1/14.2021
We protect your privacy to the fullest extent of GDPR and other U.S. laws pertaining to identity and data protection. We will provide you with a copy of all personal data that either we or our partners have pertaining to you and we will transfer this data to other entities only upon your written request. Herein also, we explain how we use your personal data so you may rest assured we use it solely for the purpose of transacting business with you and for you as our customer.
SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.
Whether you purchase a product directly from our store or through one of our sales channels such as eBay, Pinterest, Wanelo, Facebook, Instagram, Google etc., as part of the buying and selling process, we collect your personal information such as name, address, email address and payment information, solely for the purpose of transacting business with you. This data (with the exception of your payment information) also serves as inputs to our business analytics so we may monitor our store's performance. For example, in addition to the information you provide our store, we capture the date and time of the transaction, the internet platform that introduced you to us, such as Facebook, Pinterest etc., and we store this data offline in our company files to support business analysis. For example, since we provide a wide range of products for all genders and all ages, we like to know how many men versus women shop at our store, what day of the week most of our customers place orders, what sizes of a particular item are most popular with our customers.
SECTION 2 - CONSENT
How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, you must consent to our storing this information and using it for that specific reason.
If we ask for your personal information for other reasons such as marketing our products, we will either ask you directly for your expressed written consent, or we will provide you with the opportunity to say no in our communications.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify 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 Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payments:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify 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. More information on this is available in Shopify’s Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).
SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
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.
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.
