YOUR INFORMATION

When you buy from our store or stores managaged by us at the time of purchases, we gather personal details like your name, address, and email, as part of the transaction. Additionally, when you visit our site, we automatically receive your computer's IP address to understand your browser and operating system. If you opt in, we may also send you emails regarding our store, new products, and relevant updates.

When you share personal information with us to finalize a purchase, confirm your credit card, make an order, arrange delivery, or process a return, you are consenting to us using that information solely for those purposes. If we require your personal details for additional reasons, such as marketing, we will directly seek your explicit consent or provide you with the option to decline. How can I revoke my consent? If you decide to change your mind after opting in, you have the right to withdraw your consent for us to contact you or to continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information at any time. You can do this by contacting us at help@rottweilermerch.com.

DISCLOSURE

We might share your personal information if it's mandated by law or if you breach our Terms of Service.

SHOPIFY (Our Stores)

Our stores operate on Shopify Inc.'s platform, enabling us to offer our products and services online. Your information is securely stored using Shopify's data storage, databases, and platform. Shopify employs robust security measures, including storing your data on secure servers behind firewalls. Regarding payments, if you opt for a direct payment gateway, Shopify encrypts your credit card information in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase data is retained only as long as necessary to complete the transaction, after which it is promptly deleted. All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards overseen by the PCI Security Standards Council. These standards ensure the safe handling of credit card details by our store and its partners. For further details, you can review Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Statement.

SQUARESPACE (Our Site)

Our website, www.rottweilermerch.com, is hosted by Squarespace Inc. Your information is securely stored using Squarespace’s data storage, databases, and platform, which are all protected by a firewall. For additional details, please refer to Squarespace’s Terms of Service and Privacy Statement.

SECURITY

We employ reasonable precautions and adhere to industry best practices to safeguard your personal information, aiming to prevent its inappropriate loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. When you provide credit card details, we encrypt the information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and store it with AES-256 encryption. While no transmission method over the Internet or electronic storage is entirely foolproof, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and adopt additional widely accepted industry standards to enhance security.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Typically, the third-party providers we engage with only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to facilitate the services they offer to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other transaction processors, maintain their own privacy policies regarding the information required for your purchase transactions. We advise reviewing their privacy policies to understand how they handle your personal data. It's important to note that some providers may operate in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. Therefore, if you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that provider operates. For instance, if you're in Canada and your transaction is processed by a US-based payment gateway, your personal data may be disclosed under US legislation, including the Patriot Act. Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party site or application, you're no longer governed by our Privacy Policy or Terms of Service. Regarding links on our site, clicking on them may redirect you elsewhere. We don't control the privacy practices of these external sites and recommend reviewing their privacy statements. Additionally, our store employs Google Analytics to better understand our site visitors and which pages they engage with.
