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. They store your data on a secure server  behind a firewall.  Payment: 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.

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.

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.
