Privacy Policy

SECTION 1 - HOW WE HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION
When you make a purchase on our store, we gather personal details like your name, address, and email to facilitate the buying and selling process. As you explore our store, we automatically receive your computer's IP address to help us understand your browsing patterns and operating system.

SECTION 2 - YOUR APPROVAL
How do you provide consent?
Whenever you provide personal information to complete a transaction, validate a credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, you're implying your agreement for us to collect and use that information solely for the stated purpose. If we need your personal information for a secondary purpose, such as marketing, we'll either directly ask for your express consent or give you an option to decline.

How can you withdraw your consent?
Should you change your mind after opting in, you have the freedom to withdraw your consent for us to contact you or for the ongoing collection, use, or disclosure of your information. Feel free to reach out to us anytime at info@selfcarecentral.com or by mail:

SECTION 3 - INFORMATION SHARING
We may reveal your personal information if legally required or if you breach our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 - POWERED BY SHOPIFY
Our online store operates on the Shopify platform, which equips us with an e-commerce platform to sell products and services to you. Your data is securely stored through Shopify's databases, data storage, and the general Shopify application on a server safeguarded by a firewall.

Payment:
Opting for a direct payment gateway involves Shopify storing your credit card data. This data is encrypted following the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction information remains stored only for the time necessary to complete the transaction before being deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards dictated by PCI-DSS, jointly managed by renowned brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. The PCI-DSS requirements guarantee the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. For a deeper insight, you might consider reviewing Shopify’s Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY ASSISTANCE
In most cases, third-party providers we employ will only access, use, and disclose your information as required to perform the services they provide us. However, certain third-party service providers, including payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, operate under their own privacy policies regarding the information we must supply to them for your purchase-related transactions. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with these providers' privacy policies to understand how they handle your personal information. Remember that specific providers might be located in or operate facilities in different jurisdictions than you or us. Opting for a transaction involving a third-party service provider may subject your information to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where the provider or its facilities are based. For instance, if you're in Canada and your transaction is processed by a US-based payment gateway, your transaction information may be disclosed 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:
Clicking on links within our store may redirect you to external sites. We do not oversee the privacy practices of these sites and recommend reviewing their privacy statements.

SECTION 6 - SAFEGUARDING YOUR DATA
We take reasonable precautions and adhere to industry best practices to protect your personal information from inappropriate loss, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. If you provide us with your credit card information, it's encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no online method is entirely foolproof, we strictly follow PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards.

If we make substantial changes, we'll provide notification here, keeping you informed about the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
