Section 1 – What do we do with your information?
When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide—such as your name, address, and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.
Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
Section 2 – Consent
How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason—like marketing—we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
How do I withdraw my consent?
If after you opt in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information at any time by contacting us at contact@smartbizsupport.com or mailing us at:

Section 3 – Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
Section 4 – smartbizsupport.com
Our store is an online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.
Your data is stored through our platform’s data storage systems, databases, and the general website application. We store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, your data is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase. After the transaction is complete, your purchase information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
Section 5 – Third-Party Services
In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary for 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 own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend you read their privacy policies so you understand how your personal information will be handled by them.
In particular, remember that some providers may be located in—or have facilities in—a different jurisdiction than you or us. So if you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that provider or its facilities are located.
For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a gateway in the United States, your personal information used in completing the transaction may be subject to disclosure under U.S. legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party site or app, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
Links
When you click links on our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
Section 6 – Security
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information, it 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 comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and implement generally accepted industry standards.
