Privacy Policy 

Section 1 – How Do We Handle Your Personal Information?

When you purchase products from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide to us, such as your name, address, and email address.

We also automatically receive your Internet Protocol (IP) address when you visit our store. This helps us learn about your browser, operating system, and how you interact with our website.

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

Section 2 – Consent

How do we obtain your consent?
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction—such as verifying your credit card, placing an order, arranging delivery, or returning a purchase—we imply that you consent to our collecting and using it for that specific purpose only.

If we ask for your information for a secondary purpose, such as marketing, we will either request your explicit consent or provide you with the option to decline.

How do you withdraw consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at: haybarbie.com@gmail.com, or by writing to us at the address provided at the end of this policy.

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 our products and services to you.

Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and general applications. Your information is stored on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payments:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, your credit card data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase. Once complete, the information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (a joint effort by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover).

Section 5 – Third-Party Services

In general, third-party service providers we use will collect, use, and disclose your information only as needed to perform the services they provide.

However, certain third-party providers—such as payment processors—have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your purchase transactions.

We recommend that you review their privacy policies to understand how they will handle your personal information.

Please note: some providers may be located in, or operate under, jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you choose to proceed with a transaction involving a third-party provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that provider operates.

Section 6 – Security

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to prevent it from being lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide credit card details, the information is encrypted using SSL technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards.

Section 7 – Legal Age of Consent

By using this site, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority and have given us consent to allow any minor dependents to use this site.

Section 8 – Changes to Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on the website.

If we make significant changes, we will notify you here, so you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it.

In the event that our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue providing products and services to you.
