By using this website and/or registering with www.wordsworthandblack.myshopify.com, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This statement sets out Wordsworthandblack’s data protection policy for the information that you provide to us when using this website (the “website”).

Your privacy and security is very important to us and we aim to ensure that any personal information we obtain will always be held, used and transmitted in compliance with US and Europe data protection rules. 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. For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service:

Wordsworthandblack may occasionally amend this Privacy Policy to reflect any changes in our information collection and disclosure practices or regulatory requirements. Any new policy will automatically be effective when it is published on the website.
