SECTION 5 – RETENTION

We will retain your Personal data for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the Websites or offerings to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the Websites or offerings); (ii) whether there is a legal or business obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); or (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position.

SECTION 6 – THIRD PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by us 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 in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.  In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.  As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the USA PATRIOT Act.  Once you leave our Websites or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Policy or our Website Terms of Service.  When you click on links on our Websites, they may direct you away from our Website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

As communicated to us by STRIPE, your data is stored through STRIPE’s data storage, databases and the general STRIPE application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then STRIPE stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is 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 read Stripe’s representations regarding “Safe & Secure online payment” (https://stripe.com/help/security) and Privacy Policy (https://automattic.com/privacy/).

SECTION 7 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a 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.  We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or securities measures contained on our website.

SECTION 8 – DATA TRANSFERS

We may transfer to, and store the data we collect about you in, countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected, specifically the United States. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you provided the data. When we transfer your data to other countries, we will protect the data as described in this Policy and comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate protection for the transfer of data to countries outside the EEA.

If you are located in the EEA, we will only transfer your personal data if:

• the country to which the personal data will be transferred has been granted a European Commission adequacy decision;

• the recipient of the personal data is located in the US and has certified to the US-EU Privacy Shield Framework; or

• we have put in place appropriate safeguards in respect of the transfer, for example we have entered into EU standard contractual clauses with the recipient, or the recipient is a party to binding corporate rules.

You may request more information about the safeguards that we have put in place in respect of transfers of personal data by contacting us as described below.

SECTION 9 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the Websites. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.
