PRIVACY POLICY

ARTICLE 1 – PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
When you make a purchase in our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address.

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

Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

Text message marketing and notifications (if applicable):
By entering your phone number at checkout and initiating a purchase, you consent to receive SMS notifications (about your order, including cart reminders) and promotional text messages.
Marketing messages will not exceed 5 per month. You can unsubscribe from these messages by replying STOP to 36007.

ARTICLE 2 – CONSENT

How do you obtain my consent?
When you provide your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we assume that you consent to us collecting and using it for that specific reason only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will ask you directly for your explicit consent or provide you with the opportunity to decline.

How can I withdraw my consent?
If, after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information by contacting us at:
📧 support@de-laurier.com

ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service or Terms and Conditions of Sale.

ARTICLE 4 – SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc.
They provide us with the e-commerce platform that enables us to sell our products and services.

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

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

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council — a joint effort of companies 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.

For more information, please review Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

ARTICLE 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 perform the services they provide to us.

However, some third-party service providers (like payment gateways) have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide for purchase-related transactions.

We recommend that you read their privacy policies so you understand how your personal data will be handled.

Keep in mind that some providers may be located or have facilities in jurisdictions different from yours or ours.
For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a gateway in the U.S., your information may be subject to U.S. laws, 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.

Links:
You may be directed away from our site via certain links. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

ARTICLE 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 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption.
While no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow PCI-DSS requirements and implement other widely accepted industry standards.

ARTICLE 7 – AGE OF CONSENT
By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and that you have given us your consent to allow any minor dependents to use this site.

ARTICLE 8 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently.
Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website.
If we make material changes, we will notify you here so you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it.

If our store is acquired by or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so we can continue to sell products to you.

ARTICLE 9 – QUESTIONS AND CONTACT INFORMATION
If you would like to access, correct, amend or delete any personal information we have about you, make a complaint, or simply want more information, contact our Privacy Compliance Officer at:
