Privacy Policy
When you browse BeautifullyBookish.com, your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address is automatically received in order to provide information about your browser and operating system. Your use of this website signifies your consent to collection and use of personal information, in accordance with this privacy policy:
Your information:
In order to make a purchase via BeautifullyBookish.com, you will need to share some personal information such as your name, contact and payment details. This information is used to to process your order, personalise communication with you and improve your overall experience.
A record is kept of the purchases you make so I can deal with any queries or problems you may have.
You can revise what you have agreed to, withdraw your consent or have your data removed at any time by contacting jess@beautifullybookish.com
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
