Shopify as a Hosting Provider

When browsing the website, data such as IP address and browser information is collected automatically to improve the site's functionality.

Key Points
Users must have reached the legal minimum age or obtain parental consent to use the website. Using the website for illegal activities or uploading malicious code is prohibited. Personal data is used for transactions and is not sold or shared. Shopify hosts the site and stores the data securely.
Your data is stored through Shopify's data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. It is stored on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is stored only for as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After your purchase is complete, the transaction data is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council. This council is a joint initiative of brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
The PCI-DSS requirements help ensure that credit card information is securely processed by our business and its service providers.
