INFORMATION COLLECTED
Through the customer’s purchase from the merchant’s website, we collect and store information. By completing the purchase, the customer consents to said collection. On the other hand, merchants’ consent to collection of information by obtaining our services.
We use the term “Personal Data” to refer to any information that identifies or can be used to identify you. Common examples of Personal Data include: full name, email address, digital identity, such as a login name or handle, information about your device, and certain metadata.
“Sensitive Personal Data” refers to a smaller subset of Personal Data which is considered more sensitive to the individual, such as race and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, genetic or biometric information, physical or mental health information, medical insurance data, or sexual orientation.
We obtain Personal Information from the following categories of sources:
Directly from our merchants and their agents. For example, from information that merchants put into their website.
Indirectly from our merchant’s customers or their agents. For example, through information they input on our merchant’s website.
Directly and indirectly from activity on our website. For example, from website usage details that are collected automatically. In addition, like many companies, we use “cookies” which are small text files a website can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of the site and to track usage behavior of, for example, the web pages you visit.
From social media websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

How We Protect Personal Data
Cloudshop maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the merchants and their customer’s Personal Data and information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account technological reality, cost, the scope, context and purposes of processing weighted against the severity and likelihood that the processing could threaten individual rights and freedoms. For example, we restrict access to personal information to Cloudshop employees, contractors, business partners and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our Services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations. We use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and Secure Socket Layer software (SSL) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) to protect Personal Data.
If Cloudshop collects account information for payment or credit, Cloudshop will use the information only to complete the task for which the account information was offered.
