Your data is stored through Shopify's data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. Your data is stored on a secure server protected by a firewall.

If you complete your purchase through a direct payment gateway, Shopify will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted according to the data security standard established by the payment card industry (PCI-DSS). Information related to your purchase transaction is kept as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is finalized, the information related to the purchase transaction is deleted.
All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure processing of credit card data by our store and its service providers.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent 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 concerning the information we must provide to them for your purchase transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you carefully read their privacy policies so you can understand how they will handle your personal information.
Remember that some providers may be located or have facilities located in a jurisdiction different from yours or ours. If you decide to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party provider, your information may be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or those of the jurisdiction in which its facilities are located.
For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information belonging to you that was used to complete the transaction could be disclosed 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.
