Terms

SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you purchase something from our store, we collect the personal information you give us—such as your name, billing and shipping address, and email address—as part of the buying and selling process.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to help us learn about your browser, device, and operating system.

With your permission, we may send you emails about new products, updates, and store-related news.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

How do you get my consent?
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify your card, place an order, arrange a delivery, or request a return, we imply your consent to collect and use that information for that specific purpose.

If we ask for your information for an additional reason—such as marketing—we will ask directly for your express consent or provide the option to decline.

How do I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you and/or for the continued use of your information at any time by sending a message through the Write Conscious contact form on our website.

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. They provide the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell products and services to you.

Your data is stored securely through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application.

Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data. This data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase information is stored only as long as necessary to complete the transaction and then deleted.

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards governed by the PCI Security Standards Council (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover).

For more detail, see Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party providers used by us will only collect and use your information as needed to perform the services they provide.

Payment gateways and other processors have their own independent privacy policies. We encourage you to read them to understand how your data will be handled.

Some providers may be located in different jurisdictions. If you proceed with a transaction involving such providers, your information may be subject to the laws of their jurisdiction.

Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party site or service, this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service no longer apply.

Links on our store may direct you away from our site. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external sites.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure your personal information is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

Credit card information is encrypted using SSL technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, we comply with PCI-DSS requirements and widely accepted security practices.
