PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy describes how Throw Away Sounds collects, uses, and protects the personal information of its users. By using the Throw Away Sounds website or providing your personal information, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this policy.

SECTION 1 - 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. When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer's internet protocol (IP) address to provide us with information about your browser and operating system. With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

SECTION 2 - CONSENT

How do you get my consent? When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.

How do I withdraw my consent? If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, collect, use, or disclose your information by contacting us at ThrowAwaySounds@pm.me.

SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE

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

SECTION 4 - STRIPE

We use Stripe as our payment gateway to securely process your transactions. When you make a purchase on our website, your data is stored through Stripe's data storage, databases, and the Stripe 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 Stripe 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 necessary to complete your purchase transaction. Afterward, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS requirements.

Please note that we do not store your credit card information on our servers. Your payment details are securely handled and processed by Stripe. For more information about Stripe's privacy practices, please refer to their privacy policy.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary 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. We recommend that you read their privacy policies to understand how 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.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. Your credit card information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards.
