Section 2 – Consent
How do I give my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange delivery, or return a purchase, you consent to our collecting and using that information for that specific purpose only.
If we request your personal information for a secondary purpose, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with the opportunity to decline.
How can I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind after giving consent, you may withdraw your consent for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information at any time by contacting us at info@victoria-boutique.com.

Section 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 through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your payment information. This information is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
Your purchase transaction information is stored only as long as necessary to complete your transaction. After completion, your transaction information is deleted.
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 read Shopify’s

Section 5 – Third-Party Services
In general, the third-party providers we use will collect, use, and share your information only to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us.
Certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and payment processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information required to complete purchase-related transactions. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to better understand how your personal information is handled.
Please note that some providers may be located in a different jurisdiction than you or us. As a result, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider operates.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service.

When you provide your payment information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption.
