Privacy policy

1. Consent

How We Obtain Your Consent

When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify payment, place an order, arrange delivery, or return a purchase, we assume you consent to our collecting and using your information for that specific purpose only.

For any other uses, such as marketing communications, we will either ask for your explicit consent or provide you with the option to decline.

Withdrawing Consent

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at support@mybackyardzone.com or by mail at 1151 Walker Road, Dover, DE 19904.

2. Collection of Personal Information

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information you provide, including your name, address, and email address.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s IP address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.

Email Marketing

With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, promotions, and updates.

3. Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Credit card information is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.

4. Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms and Conditions.

5. Shopify Platform

Our store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services.

Your data is stored through Shopify’s secure data storage systems, databases, and general applications protected by firewalls and security measures.

Payment Processing

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data in encrypted form according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction and is deleted afterward.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards established by the PCI Security Standards Council, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

Third-party service providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary for them to perform the services they provide to us.

Certain third-party providers, such as payment processors, have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how your personal information will be handled.

Please note that some providers may be located in different jurisdictions, meaning your data may be subject to those laws.
