Privacy Statement

Last Revised: October 2, 2017

Birdwell California!, LLC DBA Birdwell Beach Britches (“Birdwell Beach Britches,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you when you visit www.birdwell.com and all BIRDWELL BEACH BRITCHES-owned websites and domains, or use our other products and services that include an authorized link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Website and Services”), how we use the information we collect, with whom we share it, and the choices we offer you regarding our collection and use of such information. If we add any new features or tools to our Website and Services, they will also be subject to this policy.

When we use the term “Personal Information” in this policy, it means any information related to an identifiable individual, but does not include the name, title, business address, or telephone number of an employee of an organization. We will keep your Personal Information accurate, complete and up-to-date with the information that you provide to us. If you request access to your Personal Information, we will inform you of the existence, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as allowed by law, and provide you access to that information.

1. SHOPIFY

Our online store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted in accordance with 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 or Privacy Statement.
