SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?


When you purchase something from our store, we collect personal information such as your name, address, and email address as part of the buying and selling process. Additionally, when you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s IP address to help us understand your browser and operating system. If applicable, with your permission, we may also send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

SECTION 2 - CONSENT


How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply your consent to collect and use it for that specific reason only. If we request 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 do I withdraw my consent?

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information at any time by contacting us at jarrod@melonzeyewear.com.

SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE


We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY


Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data, encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After completion, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of brands 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 insight, please refer to Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES


In general, the third-party providers we use will collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent necessary 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 regarding the information we must provide to them for purchase-related transactions. We recommend reading their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. Therefore, if you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that service provider or its facilities are located. For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a U.S.-based payment gateway, your personal information used in completing that transaction 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 governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

When you click on links on our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

SECTION 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 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.
