Privacy Policy

SECTION 1 – INFORMATION WE COLLECT

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

When you browse our store, we also automatically collect your computer’s IP address. This 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.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

How do we obtain your consent?
By providing personal information to complete a transaction—such as verifying your credit card, placing an order, arranging delivery, or processing a return—you consent to us collecting and using it for that specific purpose only.

If we ask for your information for a secondary purpose (e.g., marketing), we will either request your explicit consent or give you the option to decline.

How can you withdraw your consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, or for the continued use/disclosure of your information, at any time by emailing us at contact.plushshop.com

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

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

SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY

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

Your data is stored securely through Shopify’s databases and servers, protected by a firewall.

Payment:
If you complete your purchase using a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card information. This data is encrypted according to PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements and retained only as long as needed to complete your transaction. Once finished, your payment details are deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards, ensuring secure handling of card data.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information as needed to perform the services they provide.

However, some providers (e.g., payment processors) have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide for your purchase transactions. We encourage you to read their policies to understand how your data is handled.

Keep in mind that some providers may operate in different jurisdictions. If you proceed with a transaction involving such a provider, your data may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction (for example, U.S. laws such as the Patriot Act).

Once you leave our store or are redirected to a third-party site/application, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.

Links: Our site may contain links that direct you elsewhere. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to review their privacy statements.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

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

If you provide credit card information, it is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure, we comply with PCI-DSS standards and implement additional safeguards.

SECTION 7 – COOKIES

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Examples include:

  • _session_id: Temporary token that allows Shopify to store session details.

  • _shopify_visit: Tracks visits for analytics (expires after 30 minutes).

  • _shopify_uniq: Counts daily visits from a single customer (expires at midnight).

  • cart: Stores your cart information (persistent for 2 weeks).

  • _secure_session_id: Temporary token.

  • storefront_digest: Used to verify access if the store is password-protected.

You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings.

SECTION 8 – AGE OF CONSENT

By using this site, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority and have given consent for your minor dependents to use this site.

SECTION 9 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. If material changes are made, we will notify you on this page so you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances it may be disclosed.

If our business is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we can continue to sell products to you.
