Privacy Policy
At CybeArt Inc. (“CybeArt”, “we” or “us”), we respect the privacy rights of individuals and we are committed to keeping personal information accurate, confidential, and secure. We have adopted the following privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) to ensure that we continue to meet our commitment to privacy. Please review our Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we collect, use, protect and handle your personal information.
Introduction
We sell online gaming chairs, desks, phone cases, mousepads and related products that are branded with licensed trademarked logos using an online web-based store. In the course of selling these products and providing ancillary services, we may collect, with consent, certain personal information about you. We are responsible for the personal information of our customers that we collect, use or disclose.
“Personal Information” means information about an identifiable individual. This may include, without limitation, the individual's name, home address, age, income, health or financial information. Personal Information does not include the name, title, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization.
This Privacy Policy describes the principles that we follow to ensure that we protect Personal Information that we receive, collect, use or disclose in the course of carrying on our business. All of our employees who have access to Personal Information must adhere to this Privacy Policy and related procedures. To this end, we have appointed a Chief Privacy Officer to ensure compliance by all CybeArt employees and to address privacy concerns.
By submitting your Personal Information to us through your use of our website or otherwise, you signify your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not provide any Personal Information to us through the website or any other manner.
Accountability
We have designated a Chief Privacy Officer. The Chief Privacy Officer is ultimately responsible for Personal Information under our control and is accountable for compliance with the terms and procedures of this Privacy Policy. Any individual that has questions regarding our procedures or wishes to make a complaint about our Personal Information handling practices should contact the Chief Privacy Officer. For contact information, please refer to the heading “Questions, Concerns and Complaints” below.
What do we do with your Information?
- When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address, as well as other information that we believe may enhance or improve the shopping experience we offer to our customers.
- 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.
- Email marketing: With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, your order(s), new products or services and other updates.
- Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc. on that company’s servers or the servers of parties with whom they contract. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall. If you have questions regarding Shopify’s privacy policies and terms, please visit the Shopify website at www.shopify.com.
- 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.
