Section 1: What Information Do We Collect?

When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address, email address, mobile number, and communication preferences. You may also be required to provide financial information before placing an order through our Website.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive certain information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns using automated data collection. This includes your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and details of your visit to our Website.

Further, we may collect and maintain records and copies of your correspondence if you contact us, if you respond to contest entries, and details of the transactions you carry out through our Website and of the fulfillment of your orders.

SMS marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you SMS messages via third-party software about our store, new products, sales, and other updates.

Section 2: How Do We Use Your Information?

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information in order to serve you in the best way possible. This includes the ability to present our Website and its contents to you, to provide you with information, products and Service that you request from us, to fulfill the purpose for which you provide it, to allow you to participate in the interactive features of our Website, and for any other purpose with your consent. Further, we may use your information to carry out our obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection.

Section 3 - 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 a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason 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, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at anytime, by contacting us at shop@stilllifeboutique.com or mailing us at: Still Life 120-560 Johnson St, Victoria , BC, V8W 3C6, Canada

Section 4: Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Section 5: Shopify

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify 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 is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands 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.

Section 5 - Third-party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect 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

Google Analytics:

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports

(non-personally identifiable) services traffic. Our store uses Google Analytics to help us learn about who visits our site and what pages are being looked at. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Website. This data is shared with other Google Services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the services available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.

Section 6 - Security

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption.
