Privacy Policy
Your Data, From Start to Finish
At Blkcypher, we believe that understanding how your personal information is handled is just as important as the products we offer. This page is designed to walk you through the complete lifecycle of your dataâfrom the moment itâs collected to how itâs used, protected, and ultimately controlled by you. Weâre committed to being open about every step of this journey.
What You Share When You Shop
When you decide to make a purchase, the process naturally requires us to gather a few key details from you. To complete your order, youâll provide us with:
- your name,
- your address, and
- your email address.
This is the information you actively and knowingly share with us to finalize a transaction.
The Signals Your Browser Sends
Even when youâre simply browsing, our store automatically picks up certain technical signals from your device. As you look through our pages, we receive your computerâs internet protocol (IP) address, which gives us insight into the browser and operating system youâre using. This happens in the background and helps us ensure a smooth browsing experience.
How We Put Your Data to Work
Your consent is the cornerstone of how we operate. We use the information you provide for very specific, practical reasons tied directly to your actions. When you engage in activities like finalizing a transaction, verifying your credit card, placing an order, arranging for a delivery, or returning a purchase, we use your data exclusively to carry out that particular task.
If we ever see a need to use your information for a secondary purposeâfor instance, to send you marketing materialsâwe will not do so without first asking for your expressed consent or providing you with a clear opportunity to say no.
You are always in the driverâs seat. If youâve previously opted in and later decide youâd like to step back, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you, and for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time. Just send a message to [email protected], and we will honor your request.
When We Need a Helping Hand
There are a few specific situations where your information might be disclosed. We may share your personal data if we are required by law to do so, or if you violate our Terms of Service. Beyond these circumstances, we treat your data with care.
The Tools That Power Our Store
Our store is built on the e-commerce platform provided by Shopify, Inc. This means the data you share with us is stored on Shopifyâs secure server, behind a firewall. When you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. That information is encrypted according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Importantly, your purchase transaction data is kept only for as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction, and is deleted afterward.
The PCI-DSS standards are managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort by major brands including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. All direct payment gateways we use adhere to these standards.
We also rely on other third-party providers for services like payment processing. These providers have their own privacy policies, and we strongly recommend you read them to understand how they handle your personal information. Itâs also important to know that these providers may be located in a different jurisdiction than you. If you proceed with a transaction involving such a provider, your information may become subject to the laws of that jurisdiction. As an example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the United States, your personal information used in that transaction could be subject to disclosure under U.S. legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. Our store also uses Google Analytics to learn about who visits our site and what pages are being viewed.
Crossing Borders with Your Data
As highlighted above, the global nature of e-commerce means your data may travel across borders. The third-party services we use to power our store may have facilities in different jurisdictions. By choosing to engage in a transaction with us, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred and processed in a country with different data protection laws than your own. We take steps to ensure your data is protected by the safeguards described in this policy, regardless of where it is processed.
Keeping Your Details Safe
Protecting your personal information is a responsibility we take seriously. We follow industry best practices to prevent it from being inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. When you provide us with your credit card information, it is protected through a combination of technologies:
- It is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
- It is stored with AES-256 encryption.
While no online transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards to create a robust defense for your data.
Your Choices, Your Control
Your relationship with your data is one of control. As weâve mentioned, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you, and for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time. To exercise this right, simply contact us at [email protected].
A Note on Age
By using this site, you are representing that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence. Alternatively, you are confirming that you are the age of majority and have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.
As Our Policy Grows
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. We reserve the right to modify it at any time, so we encourage you to review it frequently. Any changes or clarifications will take effect immediately upon being posted to the website. Should we make material changes, we will notify you here on this page. Furthermore, 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.
Getting in Touch
Blkcypher is operated by Dull Meta inc. If you have any questions about this policy or wish to exercise your data rights, please reach out to us at [email protected]. For your reference, your credit card statement will read âD- META CLOTHINGâ.
