**PRIVACY STATEMENT**

**ARTICLE 1 – PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED**
When you make a purchase on our site, 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, which allows us to obtain more details about the browser and operating system you are using.
Email Marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

**ARTICLE 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, schedule a delivery, or return a purchase, we assume you consent to our collecting your information and using it for that specific purpose only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, 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, collect your information, or disclose it, at any time by contacting us through the contact page.

**ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE**
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

**ARTICLE 4 – Hosting**
The site host is: Hosty – HLHinvest – 651 N Broad St, New Castle 19709. Your data is stored in the data storage system and databases of Hosty.

**Payment:**
If you make your purchase through a direct payment gateway, in this case, Stripe (the payment processor) will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted using the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase. Once your purchase is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the PCI-DSS standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of companies 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.

**ARTICLE 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES**
In general, third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide them for your purchase transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand how your personal information will be handled.
Keep in mind that some providers may be located or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you decide 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 our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
Links: You may be directed away from our site by clicking on certain links on our site. We assume no responsibility for the privacy practices exercised by these other sites and recommend that you carefully read their privacy policies.

**ARTICLE 6 – SECURITY**
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed inappropriately.
If you provide us with your credit card information, it will be encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
