ARTICLE 2 - CONSENT
How do we get your consent?
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, or arrange for a delivery, 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.

ARTICLE 3 - SHOPIFY & PAYMENT SECURITY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our Panini cards to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, 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.
ARTICLE 4 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES & DISCLOSURE
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 (e.g., shipping carriers and payment processors).
Disclosure for Legal Reasons:
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service. This includes requests from US administrative or law enforcement agencies.
ARTICLE 5 - 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 AES-256 encryption.
