Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Transform 42 Inc., operating under the DBA Store 42 (“we”, “us”, or “our”), collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from our website. By using our site, you agree to the terms of this policy.

SECTION 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 personal information such as your name, billing/shipping address, payment details, email address, and phone number.

When you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.

If you opt in, we may also use your information to send you marketing emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

SECTION 2 – Consent

How do you get my consent?

When you provide personal information to complete a transaction (e.g., placing an order, verifying your payment method, arranging delivery, or processing a return), we imply your consent for us to collect and use it for that specific purpose only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason (such as marketing), we will ask you directly for expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.

How do I withdraw my consent?

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at contact@store42.co or by mail at:

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 on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the e-commerce platform that enables us to sell products and services to you.

Your data is stored through Shopify’s databases and application, on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data, which is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase, and then it is deleted.

For more information, please review: Shopify Terms of Service and Shopify Privacy Policy.

SECTION 5 – Third-Party Services

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

Some providers (such as payment gateways) may have their own privacy policies, which we recommend you review to understand how your information will be handled by them.

If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party application, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.

SECTION 6 – Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure your personal information is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide credit card information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure, we follow PCI-DSS requirements and implement generally accepted industry standards.

If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to sell products to you.
