How do you provide consent? By furnishing us with your personal information to fulfill a transaction, authenticate your credit card, place an order, or organize delivery or returns, you implicitly consent to our utilization of that information solely for those purposes. Should we intend to utilize your personal information for secondary purposes, such as marketing, we will either procure your explicit consent or offer you the opportunity to decline.

SECTION 3 – YOUR INFORMATION IS SECURE WITH US 

We may disclose your personal information if mandated by law or in the event of a violation of our Terms of Service. 

SECTION 4 – OUR PAYMENT PROCESS 

Our store is hosted on Hostinger, and we rely on stripe.com as our payment gateway to ensure the security of your transactions. Your data is securely stored via WordPress data storage, databases, and the general WordPress application, all fortified with robust security measures. When you opt for direct payment through Stripe.com, your credit card data is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). We retain your purchase transaction data solely for the duration necessary to complete your transaction, after which it is promptly expunged.
All our payment gateways adhere strictly to the standards set by PCI-DSS, guaranteeing the secure handling of your credit card information. For further details, you may refer to Stripe.com’s Terms of Service (https://stripe.com/us/legal) and Privacy Policy (https://stripe.com/privacy).

Upon visiting our login page, we’ll serve you a temporary cookie to check if your browser has a sweet tooth for cookies. Fear not, as this cookie holds no personal data and is whisked away when you close your browser. Upon logging in, we’ll treat you to a selection of cookies, preserving your login information and screen preferences. These login cookies last for two delightful days, while screen options cookies linger for a scrumptious year. Opt for “Remember Me,” and your login pleasure will extend for a savory two weeks.

SECTION 6 – GOURMET Home PARTNERSHIPS 

In our culinary adventures, we rely on a team of gourmet partners who handle your information with the utmost care, using it only to enhance your experience. While these partners, like payment gateways and other transaction processors, maintain their own privacy kitchens, we encourage you to sample their privacy policies to savor how your personal information is treated. Keep in mind, these partners may hail from different culinary regions, subjecting your information to the flavor of the jurisdiction(s) where they operate. For instance, if you’re in Canada and your transaction is whisked through a U.S.-based payment gateway, your information might encounter the zest of United States legislation, including the Patriot Act. Once you depart our boulangerie or find yourself enticed by a third-party culinary delight, you venture
beyond the realm of this Privacy Policy and our website’s Terms of Service. Bon appétit!
