PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how H₂O Swim Apparel collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website, subscribe to our mailing list, or make a purchase from our store.

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 provide to us such as your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and payment details.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.

Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new collections, promotions, and other updates. You may unsubscribe at any time.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange for shipping, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting and using it for that specific purpose only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary purpose, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to opt out.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information at any time by contacting us at:

Email: support@h2oswimapparel.com
(Update if you prefer a different contact email)

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

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

SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. Your information is stored on secure servers behind a firewall.

Payment

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete the transaction and is then deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of brands such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us.

Certain third-party service providers, such as payment processors and shipping services, have their own privacy policies regarding the information required for purchase-related transactions. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how your information is handled.

Some providers may be located in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you proceed with a transaction involving such providers, your information may become subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party site or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure it is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide us with credit card information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology 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-accepted security measures.
