PRIVACY

SECTION 1 - How We Use Your Information

When you make a purchase from our store, we want you to know that we treat your personal information with care. We collect details like your name, address, and email address to ensure a smooth buying and selling experience. Additionally, while you're exploring our store, we automatically gather your computer's IP address. This helps us understand your browser and operating system better. If you choose to receive them, we may also send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

SECTION 2 - Your Consent Matters

We respect your privacy, and your consent is important to us. When you provide personal information for a transaction, whether it's to complete a purchase, verify your credit card, arrange delivery, or return a product, we'll use it solely for that specific purpose. If we ever need your personal information for something else, like marketing, we'll always ask for your clear permission or provide an option for you to decline.

Changing your mind is absolutely okay. If you decide later that you'd like to withdraw your consent for us to contact you or use your information, you can do so anytime by reaching out to us at supmojo@bigpond.com.

SECTION 3 - Disclosure Matters

Your privacy is paramount. We may disclose your personal information only if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 - Trusting Shopify

Our online store is hosted on Shopify Inc., a trusted platform that enables us to offer our products and services. Your data is securely stored through Shopify's robust infrastructure, including data storage, databases, and their general application, all protected behind a strong firewall.

Payment information is handled with the utmost care. If you opt for a direct payment gateway, Shopify ensures your credit card data is encrypted according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is retained only for as long as necessary to complete your purchase securely. Rest assured, all direct payment gateways adhere to the rigorous standards of PCI-DSS, established by reputable brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. These standards help ensure the secure handling of your credit card information by our store and its service providers. For more details, you may also want to refer to Shopify's Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

SECTION 5 - Third-Party Services

We use third-party providers to assist us in delivering our services. They collect, use, and disclose your information only as needed to perform their services. While most third-party service providers have their own privacy policies, especially payment gateways and transaction processors, it's wise to read their policies to understand how they handle your personal information.

Please be aware that certain providers may operate in different jurisdictions from you or us. So, when you engage in transactions involving third-party service providers, your information may be subject to the laws of their location. For example, if you're in Canada and your transaction involves a U.S.-based payment gateway, your personal information may be subject to U.S. 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 bound by our Privacy Policy or our website's Terms of Service.

Links on our store may direct you to external sites with their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy statements before proceeding.

SECTION 6 - Your Security Matters

We take the security of your personal information seriously. We've implemented industry best practices and reasonable precautions to safeguard your data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

When you provide us with your credit card information, it's encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, rest assured that we follow PCI-DSS requirements and adhere to generally accepted industry standards.
