Privacy Policy

At Athena's Rose, your privacy is very important to us. We believe in transparency, and we are committed to being upfront about our privacy practices, including how we treat your personal information. Accordingly, we have developed this policy for our users and customers to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose, and use personal information.

OUR PRIVACY POLICY: 

This privacy policy covers Athena's Rose, which operates in the United States. It applies to the personal information Athena's Rose obtains in various contexts, both online and offline, including when you access or use our website(s), native mobile applications (if any), or any other applications or services that link to this privacy policy, communicate with us, shop with our third-party partners, engage with us on social media, or participate in any of our programs or events. 

Our websites may include links to websites and/or applications operated and maintained by third parties. Please note that we have no control over the privacy practices of websites or applications that we do not own. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of those third parties.

We process your personal information to run our business and provide our users with the Services. By accepting our Terms of Use or Terms of Conditions (and in some jurisdictions, by acknowledging this policy), you confirm that you have read and understand this policy, including how and why we use your information. If you do not want us to collect or process your personal information in the ways described in this policy, you should not use the Services. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies or practices of third-party websites and apps.

OUR PRACTICES: 

• Before or at the time of collecting personal      information, we will identify the purposes for which the information is necessary.      We will only retain personal information as long as required to fulfill      those purposes.
• The types of personal information we obtain about you      depend on how you interact with us and our products and services. When we      use the term "personal information," we refer to information      that identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with you. 
• We collect or receive your personal information in      a few different ways. We obtain the categories of personal information      listed below from the following sources: directly from you, for example,      from forms you complete or during registration; indirectly from you based      on your activity and interaction with our Services, or from the device or      browser you use to access the Services; from services you may interact      with (such as, for example, for payments or customer support), and from      our third-party advertising and marketing partners. Often, you choose what      information to provide, but sometimes we require specific information to      provide you the Services.
• Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for     which it is to be used and, to the extent necessary for those purposes,      should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
• We will protect personal information by reasonable      security safeguards against loss or theft and unauthorized access,      disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
• We will make readily available to customers information      about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal      information.

When you access or use the Services, we collect, use, share, and otherwise process your personal information for the purposes described in this policy. We rely on several legal bases to use your information in these ways. These legal bases include where:

· Necessary to perform the contractual obligations in our Terms of Use and in order to provide the Services to you;

· You have consented to the processing, which you can revoke at any time;

· Necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, a court order, or to exercise or defend any impending or asserted legal claims;

· Necessary for the purposes of our or a third party's legitimate interests, such as those of visitors, members, or partners (described in more detail below);

· You have expressly made the information public;

· Necessary in the public interest, such as to prevent crime; and

· Occasionally essential to protect your vital interests or those of others (in rare cases where we may need to share information to avoid the loss of life or personal injury).

We are committed to conducting our business according to these principles to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.

OUR HOST GODADDY:

Our shop is hosted on GoDaddy. They provide us with an online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

Your data is stored through GoDaddy's data storage, databases, and any GoDaddy application. GoDaddy follows generally accepted standards to store and protect the personal information they collect, both during transmission and once received and stored, including utilization of encryption where appropriate.

GoDaddy retains personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the Services you have requested and for various legitimate legal or business purposes. These might include retention periods:

· mandated by law, contract, or similar obligations applicable to business operations;

• for preserving, resolving, defending, or enforcing our legal/contractual rights; or
• needed to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records.

If you have any questions about the security or retention of your personal information, you can contact them at privacy@godaddy.com.

PAYMENT:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, GoDaddy or Square Up (a platform we also use) 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 our store and its service providers' secure handling of the credit card information.

For more insight, you may also want to read GoDaddy's Terms of Service (https://www.godaddy.com/legal/agreements/universal-terms-of-service-agreement) or Privacy Statement (https://www.godaddy.com/legal/agreements/privacy-policy).

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 with 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 to understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities 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.

For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, 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.

"Links"

When you click on links on our shop, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

SECURITY:

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information and follow industry best practices to ensure it 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 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. 

(Please also see the policies listed for the payment(s) you reserved to use.)

AGE OF CONSENT:

By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY:

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. Suppose we make material changes to this policy. In that case, we will notify you that it has been updated so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to sell products to you.
