Section 5 - Data Protection Mechanisms for Sensitive Data
For sensitive data protection, we utilize Firebase to store user information securely. Firebase implements industry-standard security measures, including encryption both at rest and in transit, to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Firebase's security features also include robust authentication mechanisms, such as OAuth and Firebase Authentication, which help ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data. Additionally, Firebase provides monitoring and logging capabilities that allow us to track and audit access to sensitive data, helping us to quickly detect and respond to any security incidents.
​
Section 6 - Where Do We Store Your Information?
Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases, and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.
​
All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by our company 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.

​
Section 8 - How Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Tools?

Be clear about what tracking tools (e.g., cookies, flash cookies, web beacons, etc.,) your website employs, what personal information they gather, and why they are being used.
​
It's important to note that third-party services, such as Google Analytics or other applications offered through the Wix App Market, placing cookies or utilizing other tracking technologies through Wix´s services, may have their own policies regarding how they collect and store information. As these are external services, such practices are not covered by the Wix Privacy Policy.
