SQUARESPACE
Our Site is hosted on Squarespace Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your information is stored through Squarespace’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your information on a secure server behind a firewall. Payment: Squarespace stores your credit card information. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction information 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.
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. At times, this may include personally-identifiable information. Your information may also be shared in order to prevent, investigate, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Caroline Ventura’s Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law. Personally-identifiable information may also be shared with a buyer or anticipated buyer in connection with the sale or anticipated sale of all or a portion of Caroline Ventura. 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. However, Caroline Ventura is not responsible for personally-identifiable information that is transferred to a third party for processing. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which they handle your information. In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. 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. Once you leave our Site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Site’s Terms of Service. Links: When you click on links on our Site, they may direct you away from our Site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect against the loss, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your information. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, Caroline Ventura cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services. You use the Site at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Please do not divulge your password to anyone. Caroline Ventura will never ask you for your password by unsolicited phone call or unsolicited email. Also remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your work to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place, such as a library or Internet café. We are not liable for any breach of our systems or interception of our transmission, and we hereby disclaim, to the fullest extent provided under law, any liability associated with any claim relating to a breach of security, data or information.
