Privacy Policy

Article 1 – Personal Information Collected

When you make a purchase from our store, as part of our buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide to us, such as your name, address, and email address.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, which allows us to obtain more details about the browser and operating system you use.

Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

Article 2 – Consent

How do you obtain my consent?

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 assume that you consent to our collecting your information and using it for that purpose only.

If we ask you to provide personal information for another reason, for marketing purposes for example, we will ask you directly for your explicit consent, or we will give you the opportunity to refuse.

How can I withdraw my consent?

If after giving us your consent, you change your mind and no longer consent to us contacting you, collecting your information, or disclosing it, you can notify us by contacting us at support@flash-discount.com.

Article 3 – Disclosure

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

Article 4 – BigCommerce

Our store is hosted on Bigcommerce. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our services and products to you.

Your data is stored within Bigcommerce’s data storage system and databases, and within the general Bigcommerce application. Your data is stored on a secure server protected by a firewall.

Payment:   If you complete your purchase through a direct payment gateway, in that case Bigcommerce will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Information related to your purchase transaction is retained only as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is finalized, purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways comply with the PCI-DSS standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is the result of a joint effort by companies such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure processing of credit card data by our store and its service providers.

Article 5 – Third-Party Services

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

However, some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

With regard to these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so that you can understand how they will handle your personal information.

Please note that some providers may be located in or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third-party provider, your information may be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider is located or where its facilities are located.

For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information used to complete the transaction may be disclosed under U.S. legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or by our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it will be encrypted using SSL technology and stored with AES-256 encryption.
