PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION

 

In line with data protection regulations, we would like to inform you of how we will process your data.

For the most part, we do not process your information in-house, but give it to third party processors for processing. For example, when PayPal takes your payment information, they are a third party processor. They process your payment and remit the funds to us. So in many instances, it will be necessary for us to transmit your information to a third party processor, as we do not have the capability to perform these functions. More detail on third party processing is detailed below.

However, we may, from time to time, process your data internally. We may process the following data:

• Data associated with your account, such as your name, address, email address and payment information

• Data about your usage of our website, such as your IP address, geographical information, and how long you accessed our website and what you viewed.

• Data related to your personal profile, such as your name, address, profile picture, interests and hobbies, or employment details.

• Data that you provide us in the course of using our services.

• Data that you post on our website, such as comments or responses to blogs.

• Data that you submit to us when you make an inquiry regarding our website or offerings.

• Data related to your transactions with us, including your purchase of our goods or services. This information may include contact details and payment information.

• Data that you provide to us when you subscribe to our emails or newsletters, including your email address and contact information.

• Data that you submit to us via correspondence, such as when you email us with questions.

• Any other data identified in this policy, for the purpose of complying with our legal obligations, or to protect the vital interests of you or any other natural person.
