3. Squarespace

My website and online shop are hosted and operated using Squarespace.

Squarespace may collect and process information about visitors and customers, including information relating to website activity, devices, IP addresses, purchases, checkout activity, and other information necessary to provide its services.

When you place an order through my website, information necessary to process and fulfill your order may be processed by Squarespace.

Squarespace may also provide website hosting, e-commerce, checkout, analytics, security, and related services.

4. Payment Processing — Stripe

Payments on my website are processed through third-party payment providers, including Stripe.

When you make a purchase, Stripe may collect and process information necessary to complete and secure the transaction. This may include your name, email address, billing or shipping information, payment method information, transaction amount, purchase date, and other information necessary for payment processing and fraud prevention.

I do not directly store your full credit or debit card number.

Stripe may process personal information internationally, including in countries such as the United States and India. Stripe states that it takes measures intended to comply with applicable data-protection requirements when transferring personal data internationally.

Stripe's handling of personal information is governed by Stripe's own Privacy Policy.

Where required by applicable law, I will take appropriate measures regarding international transfers of personal information.
