Privacy

At AEREA STUDIO we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We collect your personal data when you place an order and sign up for our marketing communications, or browse our website.

The data we collect includes details you provide to us, such as your given name and surname and your shipping and billing addresses. We also collect data regarding your shopping habits and the pages and products you have viewed from your use of the website. We use this data to:

Take your orders, process your payments and deliver the items you have purchased; provide any additional services you have requested, such as our marketing communications; give you access to services reserved for registered users.

Provide you with help and assistance via our Customer Care team; personnalise your visit to the website and ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.

Under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), we must have a valid legal basis to process your data. In most instances, we will process your data because we have a contract with you e.g. to deliver your purchases. We use contact information to respond to your inquiries, send you information as part of the services, and send you marketing information (for as long as you do not opt-out). We use your email address to send you marketing (newsletters), unless you indicate a preference to opt-out and for general updates on your account. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in them.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

Know what personal data of yours we are processing, where that data came from and how we are using that data; ask us to update, correct or supplement the data we hold about you; withdraw consent for processing for a specified purpose; ask us to delete or erase your data from our systems; limit or oppose our processing of your data; ask us to supply the personal data we hold about you in an easy readable electronic format, or transfer that data direct to a third party nominated by you.

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 through 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, 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.

For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure 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.
