Privacy Policy
At Earths Elements, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. Below is a summary of how we collect, use, and safeguard your data.
1. What Do We Do With Your Information?
When you purchase from our store, we collect personal information such as your name, address, and email address to complete your transaction.
We also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address when you browse our store, which helps us learn about your browser and operating system.
Email Marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
2. Consent
How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collection and use of this information for that specific purpose.
If we request your information for secondary reasons, such as marketing, we will either ask for your consent directly or provide an option to decline.

3. Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
4. Shopify
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services. Your data is stored through Shopify’s secure servers and databases.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data securely, encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase and is deleted afterward.
For more information, please review Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.
5. Third-Party Services
Third-party providers may collect, use, and disclose your information as necessary to perform their services. Some third-party services, such as payment processors, have their own privacy policies, and we recommend reviewing them.
Some providers may be located in different jurisdictions, which means your personal information could be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where the service provider is located.
When you click on links from our store, they may direct you away from our site, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites.
6. Security
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information. Credit card data is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we adhere to PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional security standards.
