ARTICLE 1 - PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED

When you make a purchase on our store as part of our 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, which allows us to gather more details about the browser and operating system you are using.

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

ARTICLE 2 - CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, schedule a delivery, or return a purchase, we assume you consent to us collecting your information and using it for that specific purpose only.

If we ask for your personal information for another reason, such as marketing, we will either directly ask for your explicit consent or provide you with the opportunity to refuse.

How can I withdraw my consent?

If, after giving us your consent, you change your mind and no longer wish for us to contact you, collect your information, or disclose it, you can notify us by contacting us at contact.wcks@gmail.com or by mail at: WICKS, 17 allée des vetivers, Nantes, 44300, France.

ARTICLE 3 - DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

ARTICLE 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 in Shopify's data storage system and databases and the general Shopify application. Your data is kept on a secure server protected by a firewall.

Payment:

If you make a direct payment transaction, Shopify will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Information related to your purchase transaction is stored for as long as needed to complete your order. Once your order is finalized, information related to the purchase transaction is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards, managed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

For more information, please refer to Shopify's [Terms of Service here](https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or [Privacy Policy here](https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

ARTICLE 5 - SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES

In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable 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 transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so you can understand how they will handle your personal information.

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

For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the personal information used to complete the transaction may be subject to United States law, 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 Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it will be encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with a 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.
