PRIVACY POLICY

SECTION 1 - WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT? 
When you purchase from our store, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address. Additionally, when you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s IP address to provide information about your browser and operating system. 
With your permission, we may also send you emails about our store, new products, and updates.

SECTION 2 - CONSENT 

How do we obtain your consent? 
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to us collecting and using it for that specific reason only. 
For any secondary purposes (e.g., marketing), we will ask for your explicit consent or provide you with an opportunity to opt out.

How can you withdraw your consent?
If you opt-in and later change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or to collect, use, or disclose your information at any time by contacting us at Lifestylespecialshq@gmail.com.

SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE 
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY 
Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the online platform for us to sell our products and services. Your data is securely stored through Shopify's data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application, all behind a firewall.

Payment: 
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data, which is encrypted using the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is only stored for as long as necessary to complete your transaction, after which it is deleted. 
For further information, you can read Shopify’s [Terms of Service] (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) and [Privacy Statement] (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information as necessary to perform services for us. 
However, third-party service providers (e.g., payment gateways) have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide for purchase-related transactions. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled. 
Please note, certain providers may be located in different jurisdictions. Therefore, your data may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the provider or its facilities are located.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY 
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information. When you provide sensitive information (such as credit card details), it is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we comply with PCI-DSS and implement additional industry standards.

We use cookies to enhance your experience. Below are some cookies we use: 
- _session_id: Unique token, sessional. Allows Shopify to store information about your session (referrer, landing page, etc.). 
- _shopify_visit: No data held. Persistent for 30 minutes from the last visit. Used by our provider’s internal stats tracker.

SECTION 9 - CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY 
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Any changes will take effect immediately upon posting. If material changes are made, we will notify you here. 
In the event our business is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners.

SECTION 10 - TEXT MARKETING 
By entering your phone number during checkout, you agree to receive text notifications about your order (e.g., abandoned cart reminders) and text marketing offers. You will not receive more than five text marketing messages per month, and you can unsubscribe by replying "STOP." Standard message and data rates may apply.
