This website is operated by Skanties LLC ("Skanties LLC", "we", "us", or "our").

SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you purchase something from our store, we collect personal information such as your name, address, and email address. We also automatically receive your IP address to better understand your browser and operating system.

SECTION 2 - CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return, we imply your consent to collect and use it for that purpose only.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. Your data is stored through Shopify’s secure servers.

Payment:

If you use a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your encrypted credit card data in compliance with PCI-DSS standards. Data is retained only as long as needed to complete the transaction.
