PART 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 provide, 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. Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

PART 2 - CONSENT

How do I give 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 agree that we will only collect and use that information for that specific reason. If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your express consent or give you the opportunity to say no.

How can I withdraw my consent?

If you change your mind after registering, you can withdraw your consent to further collect, use, or disclose your information at any time by contacting us at info@avery-jones.com.

PART 3 - DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law or if you violate our terms of use.

PART 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 general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment: If you choose to use a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. Once the transaction is complete, your transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, which are managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a collaboration of brands such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

The PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. For more information, you can also read Shopify's Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Policy (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

PART 5 - KLARNA

In order to offer you Klarna's payment methods, we may pass to Klarna certain aspects of your personal information, such as contact and order details, in order for Klarna to assess whether you qualify for their payment methods and to tailor the payment methods for you. Your personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and in accordance with the information in Klarna's privacy policy.

Billpay/Klarna's payment options: In order to offer you the payment options of Klarna and to be able to assess whether you qualify for their payment options and to tailor the payment options to you, we may share your personal data in the form of contact and order data with Klarna and Billpay when checking out. Your personal data will be treated in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and as set out in Klarna's Privacy Policy and Billpay's Privacy Notice.

PART 6 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

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

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other 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 so that you can understand how your personal information is handled by them.

Please note that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States 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 website's Terms of Service.
