Privacy Policy

SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give 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 to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

SECTION 2 - CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at:
info@begumstudio.com | 306-688-6923

SECTION 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.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with an 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 a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify securely stores your credit card data, encrypted under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your payment details are stored only as long as necessary to complete your order, then deleted.

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), ensuring secure handling of your credit card information by Begum Studio and its service providers.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by Begum Studio 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 processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide for your purchase-related transactions.

We recommend that you read their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled. Some providers may operate in or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than you or Begum Studio. If you proceed with a transaction involving such a provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) 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 in the United States, your information may be subject to U.S. laws, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, this Privacy Policy and Begum Studio’s Terms of Service no longer apply.

Links: When you click links on our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY

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

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption.

Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.

SECTION 7 - AGE OF CONSENT

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website.

If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to sell products to you.
