Sophisticards Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used,

and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.Sophisticards.com (the “Site”).

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information

about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

When you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through www.sophisticards.com,

we collect some information from you, including your name, billing address, delivery address, recipient's name, payment information (including credit card numbers, paypal emails, etc), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When you submit an enquiry through our online contact form, we may ask for your name and e-mail address.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfil any orders placed through the Site

(including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices

and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

Communicate with you;

Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and

When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

We use Shopify to power our online store. Shopify provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products 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.

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.
