SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?
When you purchase something from our online store, we collect the personal
information you provide, such as your name, address and email address, as part
of the buying and selling process to verify buyer authenticity.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s
internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us
learn about your browser and operating system.

With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products
and other updates.

SECTION 2 - 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, you
are consenting to the use of that information for the reason specified only. If we
ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, we will ask you directly
for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

If you opt-in and then change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for
us to contact you and for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your
information at any time, by contacting us at info@coveredgoods.com

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

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce
platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data
is stored using Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify
application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, 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.

For more information, read Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose
your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services
they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and
other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect
to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related
transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you
can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by
these providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities
that are located in a different jurisdiction. So if you elect to proceed with a
transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your
information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that

service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed
by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal
information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure
under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or
application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s
Terms of Service.

are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to
read their privacy statements.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow
industry best practices to make sure your information is not inappropriately lost,
misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted
using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with an AES-256

storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement
additional generally accepted industry standards.
