Privacy Policy

ARTICLE 1 – PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
When you make a purchase from our store, as part of our buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide to us, 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 allows us to obtain 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.

SMS marketing (if applicable): By entering your phone number during checkout, you agree to receive SMS messages (order tracking and abandoned cart reminders), as well as promotional offers. SMS messages will not exceed 4 per month. You may unsubscribe at any time by replying STOP.

ARTICLE 2 – CONSENT

How do we obtain your consent?
When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange delivery, or return a purchase, we assume that you consent to our collecting and using your information 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 explicit consent or provide you with the opportunity to decline.

How can I withdraw my consent?
If after giving your consent you change your mind and no longer consent to us contacting you, collecting your information, or disclosing it, you may notify us by contacting us at arbeitkraftlimited@outlook.com.

ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law 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 through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and 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, Shopify will store your credit card data. This data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase. Once completed, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of companies such as 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 review Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

ARTICLE 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so you can understand how your personal information will be handled.

Please note that certain providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving a third-party provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider or its facilities are located.

For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to U.S. 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 Terms of Service.

Links
You may be directed away from our site by clicking on certain links. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

ARTICLE 6 – SECURITY
To protect your personal data, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed improperly.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
