PRIVACY POLICY
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. When you use the Masonic Store application/website, we collect and use your information solely for account management and order management purposes. We do not share your information with any third-party service providers, and we do not use your information for any other purposes.
WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
1. COMMENTS
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
2. CONTACT FORMS
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
3. PERSONAL AND NON PERSONAL INFORMATION
- Personal Information: We may collect personal information, such as your name, email address, shipping address, and payment information when you place an order or create an account in the App. This information is used to process your orders, provide customer support, and personalize your experience with the App.
- Non-Personal Information: We may collect non-personal information, such as device information, app usage data, and log files. This information is used to improve the performance of the App, analyze user behavior, and optimize our services.
4. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. You can request to delete your personal information at any time by contacting us at web@masonic-store.net, and we will promptly delete the information from our records.
5. WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
6. DATA SECURITY
We take appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. We use industry-standard security measures, such as encryption and secured servers, to safeguard your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. CHILDREN PRIVACY
The App/Web is not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or store personal information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly delete the information from our records.
8. CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our information practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy in the App or by sending you a notification. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy periodically for any updates or changes.
