How do we protect visitor information?

We use an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate and use vulnerability scanning and/or scanning to PCI standards.

  • enters, submits, or accesses their information.

  • signs up for the e-mail list.

 

We use PayPal and Stripe as payment gateway providers.

​

Who on Our Team has Access:

Our company is small, and only a few of our team members interact with your data or have access to the information you provide us. For example, both Administrators and Shop Managers can access:

​

  • Order information like what was purchased, when it was purchased and where it should be sent, and

  • Customer information like your name, email address, and billing and shipping information.

 

Our team members have access to this information to help fulfill orders, process refunds and support you. All team members are contractually committed to confidentiality and discretion, and all are educated and regularly updated on best-practices in managing and protecting all data.
