Privacy Policy
PRIVACY STATEMENT
ARTICLE 1 – PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
When you make a purchase from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer's internet protocol (IP) address, which provides us with more details about the browser and operating system you are using.
Email Marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
ARTICLE 2 - CONSENT
How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we assume that you consent to us collecting your information and using it for that specific purpose only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your express consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
How can I withdraw my consent?
If, after giving us your consent, you change your mind and no longer consent to us contacting you or collecting your information, you can notify us by contacting us at contact@bemybabee.com.
ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if the law requires us to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
ARTICLE 4 – SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide 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 system and databases, and in the general Shopify application. Your data is stored on a secure server protected by a firewall.
Payment:
If you make your purchase through a direct payment gateway, then Shopify stores your credit card data. This information is encrypted using 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. Once your purchase 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 information, please see Shopify's Terms of Service [here](https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement [here](https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).
ARTICLE 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable 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 them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand how they will handle your personal information.
Keep in mind that some providers may be located in or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you decide to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of 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.
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.
ARTICLE 6 – SECURITY
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed inappropriately.
If you provide us with your credit card information, it will be 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.
