PRIVACY POLICY

When you purchase something from my shop, as part of the buying and selling process, I collect the personal information you give me such as your name, address and email address. 

When you browse my shop, I also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide me with information that helps me learn about your browser and operating system.

Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, I may send you emails about my shop, new products and other updates.

When you provide me with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, it is implied that you consent to my collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If asked for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, I will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for me to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting me directly.

I may disclose your personal information if I am required by law to do so.

My online shop is hosted on Squarespace. They provide me with the online e-commerce platform that allows me to sell my products and services to you.  Your data is stored through Squarespace’s data storage, databases and the general Squarespace application.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by me will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to me.  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 I am required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, I 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 I. 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 my shop’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or my website’s Terms of Service. When you click on links on my shop, they may direct you away from my site. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

I use Stripe.com as my payment gateway, please refer to their privacy policy for more information.
