When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information such as your name, address, and email address as part of the transaction process. Additionally, when you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s IP address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.

For email marketing (if applicable), with your permission, 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 us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific purpose only. If we request your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.

If, after opting in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information at any time by contacting us at info@chopshopboutique.com.

SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE

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

SECTION 4 - SQUARESPACE

Our store is hosted on Squarespace, Inc., which provides us with the online e-commerce platform to sell our products and services. Your data is stored through Squarespace’s data storage, databases, and the general Squarespace application on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you use a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Squarespace stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase. After that, your transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards, which help ensure the secure handling of credit card information.

Squarespace APIs are used to share data with TikTok. The following customer data may be shared: Add Billing, Complete Payment, Search, Complete Registration, Phone Number, Data via Customer API, Add to Cart, Initiate Checkout, View Content, Email, and Data via Order APIs.

SECTION 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 perform the services they provide. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies.

If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the United States, your personal information may be subject to disclosure under U.S. legislation, including the Patriot Act.

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

SECTION 6 - SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. If you provide us with your credit card information, it is 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.
