Privacy Policy
Welcome to The Art of Diamond Painting!
We place great importance on maintaining your trust and take the protection of your privacy seriously. Our Privacy Policy serves as a comprehensive guide, detailing how we gather, utilize, disclose, and safeguard your personal information throughout your usage of our website or services.
By accessing or using our website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
SECTION 1 – WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
When you make a purchase in our store, we gather your personal information – your name, address and email address to make your buying process smoother.
As you explore our online store, we automatically collect your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address. This information aids us in gathering valuable data about your web browser and operating system.
SECTION 2 – CONSENT
How Do We Obtain Your Consent?
Your consent is essential to us, and we acquire it through various means:
- Transactional Consent: By providing personal information for a specific transaction, such as credit card verification or placing an order, you implicitly consent to us collecting and using that information solely for the purpose of that transaction.
- Secondary Purpose Consent: If we need your personal information for secondary purposes, such as marketing initiatives, we will ask for your direct consent.
How to Withdraw Your Consent?
To withdraw your consent for us to engage with you or for the ongoing collection, use, or disclosure of your information, please contact us at the support email provided.
SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE
In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to disclose your personal information due to legal requirements or if there is a violation of our Terms of Service.
SECTION 4 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
We collaborate with third-party service providers to enhance your experience, but it’s essential to understand their impact on your privacy:
- Collection and Usage: Some providers collect your information to offer services but are limited by agreements to use it only for that purpose.
- Payment Gateways: Payment processors may have separate privacy policies for your purchase data. Review these for clarity.
- Jurisdiction: Providers may operate under different laws. Transactions involving them could mean your data falls under their jurisdiction’s regulations. For example, if you’re in Canada and use a U.S. payment gateway, U.S. laws may apply, like the Patriot Act.
Post-Website: Our Privacy Policy doesn’t apply once you leave our site. Check the external service’s privacy policy.
Links: Clicking links on our site may take you to others with unique privacy practices. Review their policies.
SECTION 5 – SECURITY
To safeguard your personal information, we implement reasonable measures and adhere to the highest industry standards. Our goal is to prevent any unauthorized loss, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your data.
Rest assured that your credit card information is secure with us. We utilize secure socket layer technology to encrypt the data and store it using AES-256 encryption for maximum protection. 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.
SECTION 6 – AGE OF CONSENT
When you engage with this site, you are implicitly affirming that you have attained the legal age required in your state or province of residence. Additionally, if you are the legal guardian or parent of a minor, you confirm that you have explicitly granted consent for their use of this site.
