Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc.. They offer us an online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.
Your data is stored through Shopify's data store, databases, and general Shopify applications. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete the purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the PCI-DSS data security standard for the payment card industry. Your purchase transaction data is stored only during the time required to complete the purchase transaction. After completion, your purchase transaction information will be deleted.
All direct payment gateways follow the standards set by PCI-DSS managed by the PCI Security Standards Committee, which is a joint effort of Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure that our stores and their service providers handle credit card information safely.

Section 5-Third-party services
In general, we use third-party providers to collect, use and disclose your information only when necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, some third-party service providers(such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors) have their own privacy policies for the information we need to provide for your purchase related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies to see how these providers handle your personal information.
Remember, in particular, that some providers may be located or have jurisdiction different from yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to continue transactions involving the services of a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the law of the jurisdiction in which the service provider or its facilities are located.
For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is handled by a payment gateway located in the United States, the personal information you use to complete the transaction may be disclosed under U.S. law, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store's website or are redirected to a third-party site or application, you will no longer be bound by this privacy policy or the terms of our website service.
