Section 1 - What Do We Do With Your Information?
When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address. When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.
Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
Section 2 - Consent
How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we request your personal information for a secondary purpose, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
How do I withdraw my consent?
If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information at any time by contacting us at info@soleyateas.com.
Section 3 - Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
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.
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 transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase. After completion, the data is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).
For more information, please read Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.
Section 5 - Third-Party Services
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information as necessary to perform the services they provide.
However, certain providers, such as payment gateways and other transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide for your transactions. We recommend you read their privacy policies to understand how your data will be handled.
If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which they or their facilities are located.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party site, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our site’s Terms of Service.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to help us understand who visits our site and which pages are viewed.
Section 6 - Security
To protect your personal information, we follow industry best practices to ensure it is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
If you provide your credit card information, it is encrypted using SSL technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and apply additional generally accepted industry standards.
