PRIVACY STATEMENT
SECTION 1: HOW WE HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION
When you make a purchase from our Solar Eyeglasses store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to gather information that helps us understand your browser and operating system.
If you grant us permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
SECTION 2: CONSENT
How do we obtain your consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, you implicitly consent to our collection and use of that information solely for that specific purpose. If we require your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either directly seek your express consent or provide you with an opportunity 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 continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information at any time. To do so, please contact us at support@solareyeglasses.com.
SECTION 3: DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
SECTION 4: WORDPRESS
Our store is hosted on WordPress. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that enables us to offer our products and services to you. Your data is stored through WordPress’s data storage, databases, and the general WordPress application, all securely protected behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, WordPress stores your credit card data. It is encrypted according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is retained only as long as necessary to complete the transaction. Afterward, your purchase transaction information is deleted. All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards established by the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
These requirements ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. For more details, please review WordPress’s Terms of Service (https://wordpress.com/tos/) and Privacy Statement (https://automattic.com/privacy/).
SECTION 5: THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, the third-party providers we use collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent required to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies for information we must provide for purchase-related transactions.
We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers. Keep in mind that some providers may be located in a different jurisdiction than you or us. Therefore, if you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of their location, including the Patriot Act, if applicable. Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, this Privacy Policy and our website’s Terms of Service no longer apply.

Google Analytics:
Our store uses Google Analytics to help us understand who visits our site and which pages they view.
SECTION 6: SECURITY
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from being lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. If you provide us with your credit card information, it is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional accepted industry standards.
