PRIVACY STATEMENT


SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you purchase from our store, we collect 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.
If you consent, 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 personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, you consent to our collecting and using it for that specific reason only. If we ask for your information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will ask you directly for your explicit consent or provide an opportunity to decline.

How do I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at support@thebeardstruggle.com, or by mail at:
The Beard Struggle, 8385 St George St Unit 5, Vancouver, BC V5X4P3


SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.


SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the online e-commerce platform that enables us to sell 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 use a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data, encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as needed to complete your purchase. Afterward, your information is deleted.
For more, review Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.


SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party providers will collect, use, and disclose your information only as necessary to perform the services they provide to us.
Certain third-party service providers, like payment gateways, have their own privacy policies. We recommend you read their policies to understand how your personal information will be handled.
Your information may be transferred to jurisdictions other than yours. For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed in the United States, your personal information may be subject to U.S. legislation.

When you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

Links:
Our site may direct you to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.


SECTION 6 – SECURITY

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
If you provide us with credit card information, it is encrypted using SSL technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we comply with PCI-DSS and implement additional standards.
