Section 4 — Shopify

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with an online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your information on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment: Suppose you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase; Shopify stores your credit card data by encrypting through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

You may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement for more insight.

 

 

Section 5 — Third-Party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their privacy policies concerning the information we are required to provide for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand how they will handle your personal information.

You should note that certain providers are in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than you or us. Suppose you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider; your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.For example, if you are located in Canada and a payment gateway processes your transaction in the United States, your personal information used in completing 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 our website’s Terms of Service.

Section 6 — Protection of Personal Data

To safeguard your data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced appropriate technical measures such as up-to-date antivirus protection and encryption to secure all storage and transmission of personal data. If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.

In situations where we need to disclose personal data, we practise an only need-to-know basis both internally or to our authorised third-party service providers and agents. 

If you have a user account on NCI’s Website, please use a strong and unique password containing letters and numbers and remember to sign out of your account when using a shared computer.

Retention of Personal Data

We may retain your data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws.
