PRIVACY POLICY


----


ARTICLE 1 – PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED


When you make a purchase from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide to us, such as your name, address and email address.


When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, which allows us to obtain more details about the browser and operating system you are using.


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



ARTICLE 2 – CONSENT


How do you obtain my consent?


When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we presume that you consent to our collecting your information and using it for that purpose only.


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



How can I withdraw my consent?


If, after giving us your consent, you change your mind and no longer consent to us contacting you, collecting your information or disclosing it, you may notify us by contacting us at support@basedbodyworks-au.com.


ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE


We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you violate our General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.



ARTICLE 4 – 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. Your data is stored on a secure server behind a firewall.



Payment:


If you complete your purchase through a direct payment gateway, then Shopify will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Information relating to your purchase transaction is retained for as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is finalized, the information relating to the purchase transaction is deleted.


All direct payment gateways adhere to the PCI-DSS standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of companies such as 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 consult Shopify’s Terms of Service here or the Privacy Policy here.



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 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 with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase transactions.


With respect to these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so that you can understand how they will handle your personal information.


Remember that some providers may be located in, or have facilities located in, a different jurisdiction than you or us. So if you choose to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or in which its facilities are located.


For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used to complete the transaction may be disclosed 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 General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. 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.
