PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Neko Deco Craft Shop Inc. website 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. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. We may also hire third-party companies to perform business functions on our behalf. We may collect, receive, and develop the following categories of personal information:

  • Contact Information, such as your first and last name, email and mailing addresses, phone number, professional title, and company name.
  • Account/Registration Information, such as your username and password, order history, and preferences when using products or services. 
  • Demographic Information, such as your age, gender, and income. 
  • Information About Others for whom you purchase an item or gift, such as name, delivery address, and phone number. 
  • Correspondence Information, such as information you provide when you contact us with questions, feedback, survey responses, or otherwise communicate with us.
  • Payment Information, such as your credit card or debit card number, expiration date, card verification number, and billing address if you make a purchase. 
  • Internet and Network Activity Information, such as your IP address, device identifiers, websites you came from, websites you leave to, and website interaction information (e.g., search terms entered, and products or content viewed or clicked on).
  • Other Information that we may collect which is not specifically listed here, but which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.


HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect and obtain personal information:

  • From you.  We collect personal information when it is provided to us, such as when you send an email to us, register for an account, make a purchase, refer friends or others to contact us, or connect with us on social media or through one of our partners. For example, you may see a “Log in with…” button, which means we request personal information from a partner to streamline the login process. You will likely be presented with a “request for permission” screen by a third party asking to share additional information, such as a list of your friends or connections and your email address. 

    When you make a purchase on our website using a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through 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. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
    All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like 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.
