Our website prioritizes user safety. On our hosted servers (Hetzner), we do not store or process sensitive data relating to credit card payments. All transactions are handled securely by an external company through a payment gateway (Stripe or PayPal).

Section 5 – third party services

In general, the third-party providers we use collect, use and disclose information only to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, some 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 you can understand how your personal data will be handled by these providers.
In particular, please remember that some providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a jurisdiction other than yours or ours. So, if you decide to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which such service provider or its facilities are located. 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. Links
When you click on links in 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 policies.

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 your credit card information, the information is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer Technology (SSL) and stored with an AES-256 encryption. While 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.
