Privacy policy
Article 1 – Personal information we collect
When you make a purchase from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us, such as your name, address and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address, which gives us information about the browser and operating system you are using.
Email marketing (where applicable): with your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.
Article 2 – Consent
How do you get my consent?
When you give us personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange a delivery or return a purchase, we understand that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific purpose only.
If we ask for your personal information for another reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your express consent or give you the opportunity to say no.
How do I withdraw my consent?
If, after giving us your consent, you change your mind and no longer agree to our contacting you, or to our collecting or disclosing your information, you can let us know at info@yaas.be or by post at: YAAS DESIGN, 61, avenue Marie-José, 1200 Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Belgium.
Article 3 – Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you breach our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.
Article 4 – Shopify
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.
Your data is stored in Shopify’s data storage system and databases, and in the general Shopify application. Your data is kept on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment
If you complete your purchase through a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card details. They are encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction details are kept only as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is complete, the purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways comply with the PCI-DSS standard, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of companies such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure that credit card data is handled securely by our store and its service providers.
For more information, please read Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Article 5 – Third-party services
In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us.
However, some third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to give them for your purchase transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully so that you understand how they will handle your personal information.
Please remember that some providers may be located in, or have facilities located in, a different jurisdiction from yours or ours. If you choose to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party provider, your information may then be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider or its facilities are located.
For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information used to complete that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or by our website’s Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

Article 6 – Security
To protect your personal data, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
If you give us 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 of electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and apply additional generally accepted industry standards.
