Privacy Policy – Georgie Bling

How We Handle Your Information

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email, as part of the transaction process. Additionally, when you browse our store, we automatically capture your device’s IP address to help us understand more about your browser and operating system.

If you agree, we may use your email to send updates about our store, including new product announcements and other relevant information.

How We Obtain Your Consent

By providing personal details to complete a transaction—such as verifying your payment method, placing an order, or arranging a return—you implicitly consent to our collecting and using this data for that purpose. Should we require your information for secondary purposes like marketing, we will either ask for your express permission or offer you the chance to opt out.

How to Withdraw Consent

If you change your mind after opting in, you can withdraw your consent for us to continue contacting you or using your data. To do so, simply reach out to us at support@georgiebling.com.

Disclosure of Your Information

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

WordPress / Woocommerce Platform

Our store operates on WordPress/Woocommerce platform, which provides the e-commerce platform that facilitates our sales. Woocommerce securely stores your data in its databases behind a firewall.

Payments

If you use a direct payment gateway, Woocommerce will securely handle your credit card details, which are encrypted according to PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). Your payment data is stored only for the duration of the transaction, after which it is deleted.

All payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, which are governed by major brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, to ensure secure processing of your payment data.

Third-Party Services

Third-party providers only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform services they provide to us. However, payment gateways and other transaction processors have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing these policies to understand how your information is managed by them.

 

Some third-party providers may operate in different jurisdictions, meaning your data could be subject to the laws of those regions. For example, if you’re in Canada and your payment is processed by a gateway in the U.S., your data may be governed by U.S. laws.

Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party service, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service no longer apply.

When you click on links within our store, they may take you to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Security

We take precautions to safeguard your personal information and ensure it is not lost, misused, accessed, altered, or destroyed. Any credit card information you provide is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and AES-256 encryption. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and adhere to industry standards.
