The information below explains our policy regarding your privacy and the www.someshiningstuff.com website.

SECTION 2 — WHAT WE COLLECT

When you visit our website and 3rd party websites, such as shopify or others, you may provide us with personal information (such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone numbers and/or credit/debit card information) that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis for various purposes. These purposes include purchases, registering to receive e-mail newsletters or other materials, requesting further information, submitting a form on our website, or simply asking a question. We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. This information is retained and used in accordance with existing laws, rules, regulations, and other policies. SSS does not collect personal information from you unless you provide it to us. If you choose not to provide any of that information, we may not be able to fulfill your request or complete your order, but you will still be free to browse the other sections of the websites owned and administered by SSS. This means that you can visit our site without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself.

SECTION 3 — THE WAY WE USE INFORMATION

As a matter of principle, SSS collects the minimum amount of data required to respond to your request, complete your transaction or otherwise serve your needs. When you supply information about yourself for a specific purpose, we use the information for only that purpose. We do not share this information with 3rd parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

You can register with our website if you would like to receive newsletters and marketing emails on our products and services. Information you submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you fill out the form. We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. SSS will take reasonable measures to obtain e-mail consent from you expressly seeking you to opt out.

In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) from the European Union, we will ask for your consent to receive or to continue to receive communications from SSS. When you request your email and/or data to be removed from our database, we will remove you from all our servers to the best of our ability.

SECTION 4 — OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY

Personally identifiable information is stored on our server and is not publicly accessible. Further, personally identifiable information is only accessed by SSS personnel on a “need to know” basis. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Additionally, sensitive data such as credit card numbers are encrypted using SSL and other industry standard measures, to provide an additional level of security.

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 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.
