When you provide us with your personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, schedule a delivery, or return a purchase, we consider that you consent to our collecting your information and using it for these specific purposes only.

For any other use of your personal information, such as direct marketing campaigns, we will ask you directly for your explicit consent, or we will provide you with the opportunity to refuse.

Article 3 - Disclosure

Conditions of disclosure of your personal information

We will not sell, trade, or otherwise inappropriately transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances:

  1. Legal requirements: We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you breach our Terms and Conditions. This includes cooperating with legal and regulatory authorities to respond to inquiries or to comply with legal obligations.

  2. Service providers: Your personal information may be shared with third parties who provide services on our behalf, such as payment processing, shipment management or data analysis. These service providers are carefully selected and are only authorized to use your data to perform the services we have asked them to provide and in compliance with our privacy policy.

  3. Commercial transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or use of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

  4. Protecting Flaggora and others: We also reserve the right to disclose your personal information to protect our rights, our security, that of our customers or other third parties, such as in the case of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Security & Privacy

In each case of disclosure, we will take steps to ensure that your personal information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. Our agreements with third parties include clauses requiring the protection of your personal information and ensuring that such third parties maintain the confidentiality and security of the data.

We are committed to using your personal information only in a responsible and secure manner, and to remaining transparent about where such information may be shared. If you have any questions or concerns about how your personal information is handled, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Article 4 - WordPress and Data Security

Hosting and Data Management

Our store is hosted on WordPress, using an e-commerce platform powered by WooCommerce. WooCommerce provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored in the WooCommerce data storage system, databases and the general WordPress application. Your data is stored on secure servers behind a firewall.

Payment:

Payment transactions made on our site are handled through external payment gateways, which use security protocols to encrypt sensitive data such as credit card information. Although WooCommerce facilitates these transactions, it does not store your credit card data after the transaction is completed.

All payment gateways used on our site adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure processing of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

Access to and Management of Personal Data

Thanks to WordPress and WooCommerce, you have the ability to create a user account, which allows you to manage your personal information, track your orders and your payment history. You can access this information at any time by logging into your account on our site.

Data security

We take security very seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. Technical security measures such as SSL/TLS encryption are used to protect your personal data transmitted to our site. In addition, we apply internal security practices to limit access to your data only to authorized persons who need it to carry out their work.

Modifications to the Platform

We reserve the right to choose any other platform for hosting our site if WooCommerce or WordPress no longer meets our security or operational requirements. In such a case, the continuity and security of your data will be our priority, and you will be informed of any significant changes affecting the management of your personal information.

We strive to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of your personal data and encourage our users to be vigilant and protect their own information by using strong passwords and not sharing their login information. If you have any questions about the security of your personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Article 5 - Third-party services

Use of Third-Party Suppliers

For optimal performance, Flaggora uses various third-party suppliers who play a crucial role in the operation of our online store. These services include, but are not limited to, payment processing, data analysis, provision of marketing technologies, and content delivery. We choose these suppliers carefully to ensure that they meet high standards of security and confidentiality.

Third Party Privacy Policies

Although these third-party suppliers are selected partners, they have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your purchase transactions. We recommend that you carefully read the privacy policies of these suppliers to understand how they will handle your personal information.

Localization and Data Transfer

It is important to note that some of these providers may be located or have facilities located in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. Thus, if you choose to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party supplier, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that supplier is located or where its facilities are located.

For example, if you are located in Europe and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used to complete that transaction may be subject to disclosure under U.S. law, including the Patriot Act.

Safety at Third-Party Suppliers

When you leave our store site or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Responsibility and Commitments

We are committed to protecting your privacy and make every effort to ensure that our third-party suppliers comply with this obligation. However, Flaggora cannot guarantee the absolute security of information processed by third parties. By using our site, you acknowledge that the transfer of your personal information to these third-party services is necessary for the completion of your transactions and accept this risk.

If you have any questions or concerns about how our third-party suppliers manage your data, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We're here to help you navigate and understand these processes.

Article 6 - Safety

Safety measures

At Flaggora, the security of your personal information is a top priority. We implement rigorous security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, modification, disclosure or destruction. These measures include advanced technological protocols, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for the secure transmission of data on our site, as well as the secure storage of sensitive information.

Data encryption

When you provide your credit card information, it is transmitted securely to our servers using encryption technology. The information is then encrypted in our database and accessible only by authorized persons with special access rights to these systems, who are required to keep the information confidential. In addition to encryption, we also use other security measures such as AES-256 encryption to protect stored data.

Industrial Standards

We comply with industry standards for the protection of personal data, including those established by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Our security practices are regularly reviewed and improved in line with technological advances and operational best practices.

Monitoring and Assessment

We regularly monitor our systems for security flaws and potential attacks. However, no electronic transmission or storage system is 100 % secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Security Violation Management

In the event of a security breach affecting your personal information, we will act promptly to identify the cause of the breach, take appropriate corrective measures and inform you in accordance with applicable legislation. We undertake to cooperate with the relevant authorities and to inform you of any action you can take to minimize the impact.

User responsibilities

We also advise you to take steps to protect your personal data online. This includes choosing strong passwords, updating your software regularly, and avoiding unsecured Wi-Fi networks when carrying out transactions. The security of your information also depends on you.

If you have any questions about the security of your personal data, or if you have any specific concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support department. We're here to help you understand and navigate your data security at Flaggora.
