Section 6

Payment

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Stripe 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.

Section 7

Third Party Services

In general, the third-party providers we work with will only gather, use, and disclose your information as much as is required for them to carry out the tasks we’ve hired them to do.

However, some third-party service providers, such payment gateways and other financial transaction processors, have their own privacy policies with regard to the data we must send to them for your transaction-related transactions.

To further understand how these providers will treat your personal information, we advise you to read their privacy policies for each of these services.

Keep in mind that some providers may be situated in or have facilities situated in jurisdictions other than either you or us. Your information may so become governed by the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which the third-party service provider or its facilities are situated if you decide to move forward with a transaction that involves their services.

Your personal information used to complete the transaction, for instance, may be susceptible to disclosure under US law, such as the Patriot Act, if you are situated in Canada and the transaction is completed by a payment gateway in the US.

You are no longer subject to this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website after you leave our store’s website or are transferred to a third-party website or application.

Your credit card details are protected using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and saved with an AES-256 encryption if you provide us that information. Although there is no 100% secure method of electronic transmission or storage, we adhere to all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally recognised industry standards.
