Privacy Policy
SECTION 1 - INFORMATION USAGE
When you make a purchase 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 internet protocol (IP) address, which provides us with information about your browser and operating system. With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and updates.
SECTION 2 - CONSENT
By providing us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, you consent to our collection and use of that information for the specified purpose. If we require your personal information for secondary purposes, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your express consent or provide you with the opportunity to decline. You may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or use your information for further collection or disclosure at any time by contacting us at sales@alorair.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 by Shopify Inc., which provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored in Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. They store your data 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. It is 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 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, you may also want to read Shopify’s [Terms of Service](https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or [Privacy Statement](https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).
SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, 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 regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. We recommend that you read their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities located in different jurisdictions than either you or us. So if you proceed with a transaction that involves a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the United States, 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.
Links:
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.
Google Analytics:
Our store uses Google Analytics to help us learn about who visits our site and what pages are being viewed.
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 secure socket layer technology (SSL) 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.
