Privacy Policy for ukonyx.com
Thank you for visiting ukonyx.com.
This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information.
Information we collect
When making a purchase in our store, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email. As you browse, we also automatically receive your computer's IP address to understand your browser and operating system. If you agree, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
How do you get my consent?
When you share personal information for transactional purposes like completing a purchase, verifying your credit card, ordering, arranging delivery, or processing a return, you imply consent for us to collect and use it solely for that specific purpose. If we seek your personal information for secondary reasons, such as marketing, we will either directly request your express consent or offer you the option to decline.
How do I withdraw my consent?
If you decide to change your mind after opting in, you have the option to withdraw your consent for us to contact you or continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information. You can do so at any time by reaching out to us at contact@ukonyx.com.
Disclosure
Your personal information may be disclosed if it's required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
Shopify
Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which furnishes the online e-commerce platform enabling us to offer our products and services. Your data is stored using Shopify's data storage solution, databases, and general applications. Shopify maintains your data on a secure server protected by an up-to-date firewall.
Payment
When you opt for a direct payment gateway for your purchase, Shopify securely stores your credit card data, encrypting it in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is retained only for the necessary duration to complete the transaction, and once done, this information is promptly deleted.
All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, overseen by the PCI Security Standards Council—a collaborative initiative involving major brands such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. These requirements are in place to ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service (https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms) or Privacy Statement https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy).
Third-Party Services
Generally, our third-party providers collect, use, and disclose your information only as necessary for the services they offer us. However, certain providers, like payment gateways, have their privacy policies for the information required in purchase-related transactions. We advise reviewing their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled.
Be aware that some providers may be located in different jurisdictions than you or us. If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where the provider or its facilities are located. For instance, if you're in Canada and your transaction is processed by a U.S.-based payment gateway, your personal information 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 site, you are no longer governed by our Privacy Policy or website's Terms of Service.

Security
To safeguard your personal information, we employ reasonable precautions and adhere to industry best practices to prevent inappropriate loss, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. When you provide credit card details, the
information undergoes encryption using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and

storage is entirely infallible, we comply with PCI-DSS requirements and
incorporate additional widely accepted industry standards.
