Tallow Oasis Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [Insert date]

At Tallow Oasis, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from our store. By using our website and services, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address.

In addition, when you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address, which helps us learn more about your browser and operating system.

Email marketing (if applicable):

With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

Text marketing (if applicable):

With your consent, we may send text messages regarding our store, new product launches, and important updates, including Checkout Reminders. Webhooks may trigger these reminder messages.

SECTION 2 - CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply your consent to our collection and use of this information for the specific purpose. If we request your information for any secondary reasons (e.g., marketing), we will ask for your explicit consent or provide you an option to decline.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If you change your mind after opting in, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you or to continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information by emailing us at info@tallowoasis.com.

SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform allowing us to sell our products to you.

Your data is stored on Shopify’s secure servers, and their infrastructure follows best practices to ensure your data is protected.

Payment:

If you choose to use a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card information in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your payment data is encrypted and securely stored. Transaction information is stored only as long as necessary to complete the transaction and is deleted afterward.

All direct payment gateways follow PCI-DSS standards, ensuring the secure handling of credit card data. For more information, you can review Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Statement.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, third-party providers will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary for them to provide the services to us.

However, some third-party providers, like payment gateways, have their own privacy policies regarding the data we share with them for transactions. We recommend reviewing these policies for a better understanding of how your data will be handled.

Remember that some providers may be located outside of your jurisdiction, and if you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your data may be subject to the laws of the provider’s location. For example, if you are located in Canada and a transaction is processed by a provider in the U.S., your data may be subject to U.S. laws, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party site, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website's Terms of Service.

Links to Other Sites

Our store may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track and understand how visitors interact with our site, including which pages are most frequently viewed.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

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