REVELATION

We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law or if our terms of service have been violated.

SHOPIFY

Our online store is hosted on Shopify Inc. The company provides us with an online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to our customers.
Your personal information is stored on Shopify Inc storage media, databases and applications. The data is stored on a secure server behind a 'firewall'.

Payments:
If you choose a direct payment method to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card information. It is encrypted through the 'Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard' (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored for the time necessary to complete the purchase process. Once it is completed, your purchase data is deleted.
All direct payment methods adhere to the standards required by 'PCI-DSS' and administered by the 'PCI Security Standards Council', which is a joint effort of brands such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.
The 'PCI-DSS' requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information at our store and its service providers.
For more details, you can read 'Shopify's Terms of Service' (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or the privacy notice (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

THIRDPARTY SERVICES

In general, the service providers used by us only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to provide their services to us.
However, some service providers, such as payment receivers and processors of other payment transactions, have their own privacy policies with respect to the information we are required to provide to them for transactions related to purchases you make with us.
For those providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so that you can understand how your personal data is handled by these service providers.
In particular, remember that some providers may be located or have offices located in jurisdictions different from ours or yours. In case you decide to proceed with transactions that involve third party services, then your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where these service providers are located.
As an example, if you are located in Mexico and your transaction is processed by a payment processor located in the United States, then your personal information used to complete that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States law, including 'Patriot Act'.
Once you leave our store site or are redirected to third party sites, you are no longer bound by these privacy policies or our website's terms of service.

SECURITY

If you provide us with credit card information, the information is encrypted using 'secure socket layer technology' (SSL) and stored with 'AES-256' encryption.
