SECTION 3 — DISCLOSURE
We may disclose personal information if required by law or in the event of a violation of our Terms of Service.
SECTION 4 — SHOPIFY PLATFORM
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., providing the e-commerce infrastructure for our online operations. Your data is stored securely through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and general application behind standard firewalls.
Payment Processing
If you complete your purchase via a direct payment gateway, Shopify encrypts and stores your credit card data under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Transaction details are retained only for as long as necessary to complete the purchase, after which transaction records are purged.
All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards, managed jointly by brands including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover to ensure secure handling of payment data.
SECTION 5 — THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
In general, third-party service providers utilized by us collect, use, and disclose information strictly to the extent required to perform their designated functions.
Payment gateways and transaction processors maintain their own independent privacy policies regarding purchase-related details. We encourage you to review their respective privacy statements to understand how your data is handled.
Please note that certain service providers may operate or maintain facilities within different jurisdictions than either you or Après Sea Ranch. Completing a transaction involving third-party services may subject your information to the governing laws of those jurisdictions.
Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party site or application, our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service no longer apply.

To safeguard your personal details, we follow industry best practices to prevent unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
