WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Although Mazawattee is based in the UK, we work with service providers from outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") to help ensure you receive products and services from us. The personal information collected sometimes needs to be transferred, stored and used outside the EEA. By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We aim to ensure that all our suppliers take personal information security seriously.
SECURITY
We follow security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given to us, to prevent unauthorised access. However, the internet is not a secure environment and we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you send to us.
When you purchase products or services via our website, we use a payment processing company called Stripe. Stripe complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) and Stripe has been audited by an independent PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and is certified as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider. In some cases, they will be acting as a controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their privacy policy.
We also use a secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to allow a secure connection.
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
This privacy policy does not cover the links within this website linking to other websites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
If we change our policy, we will post the changes on this page. Please check the website regularly for any changes to this policy. This policy was last updated on 18/04/2018.
