At DharmaMart.shop, we value and respect your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our store. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled responsibly and transparently.

SECTION 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information that you provide us, such as your name, address, and email address. We also collect your IP address to help us understand your browser and operating system for website optimization.

If you opt-in to receive marketing emails, we may use your email address to send you updates about our store, new products, and promotions.

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 powered by Shopify Inc., which provides us with an online e-commerce platform to sell our products and services. Shopify stores your data securely on their servers behind a firewall.

Payment Information: If you use a direct payment gateway for your purchase, Shopify will store your credit card details in an encrypted format (via PCI-DSS standards) until the transaction is complete. After the transaction, your payment data is deleted.

For more details on Shopify’s security and data handling, please review their Terms of Service and Privacy Statement.

We may work with third-party service providers to help us operate our store and provide services to you. These providers will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform their services.

Please review the privacy policies of third-party service providers (e.g., payment gateways) to understand how they manage your data. Keep in mind that some providers may be located in different jurisdictions, so your information could be subject to local laws.

If you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party site, their privacy policies will apply.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to track site usage and visitor activity. This helps us optimize our website and improve the user experience.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data from misuse, loss, unauthorized access, and destruction. For payment information, we use secure socket layer (SSL) technology and AES-256 encryption. While no method is 100% secure, we follow PCI-DSS standards and industry best practices to safeguard your data.
