Privacy Policy

Section 1 – Your Data: What Happens Next

When you make a purchase, we collect essential details such as your name, address, and email to complete your order.
While you browse our site, we also gather non-personal information like your computer’s IP address to help ensure the site functions properly with your browser.

If you give us permission, we may also use your email to send you updates, newsletters, and special offers from Bennettvale.

Section 2 – Consent

Granting Access and Permissions
When you share personal information with us to complete a transaction — such as verifying your payment method, placing an order, arranging delivery, or processing a return — you consent to us using that data for that specific purpose only.

If we wish to use your personal information for any other reason (for example, marketing or promotional updates), we will always ask for your explicit consent first. You will have a clear choice to agree or decline.

Section 3 – Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Section 4 – Shopify

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the trusted e-commerce platform that enables us to sell our products and services to you.
Your information is securely stored within Shopify’s databases and applications, protected by servers secured behind firewalls.

If you choose to pay using a payment gateway, Shopify temporarily stores your credit card information. This data is fully encrypted and handled under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
Your purchase transaction data is only retained as long as necessary to complete your order. Once the transaction is finalized, your transaction details are deleted.

Section 5 – Services Provided by Third-Party Suppliers

We work with third-party service providers to help operate our store. Generally, these providers collect, use, and share your data only as needed to deliver their services.

However, some third parties — such as payment processors — maintain their own privacy policies governing how they handle your data. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how your personal information is managed.

Please note that some providers or their facilities may be located in a different country. If you engage with such a service, your data may be subject to the laws of that country.

Once you leave Bennettvale’s website or are redirected to a third-party site or application, this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service no longer apply.

Section 6 – Security

We take your privacy seriously. To protect your personal data, we follow industry best practices to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Whenever you provide sensitive information (such as credit card details), it is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology and secured with AES-256 encryption.
While no electronic storage method is 100% secure, we comply with PCI-DSS and other generally accepted industry security standards.
