Information we Collect
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. 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. We do this to help us to make our website as easy to navigate and user-friendly as possible.
Payment: We use Paypal and Shopify to process your payments. Joe’s Toes does not have access to your passwords, credit card numbers or other sensitive financial information.
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. based in Canada and Ireland. 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.
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. For example a shipping company needs only know shipping details such as name, destination and origin address, contents, customs declaration for overseas shipments weight and dimension and does not need to know payment information.
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.
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. For example if you choose to pay via Paypal your transaction will be governed by their policies.
