When you place an order, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, and payment information. We use this information solely to:

Process and ship your order
Send you order confirmations and shipping updates
Communicate about your purchase if issues arise
Send occasional updates about new products (you can opt out anytime)

Your credit card information is encrypted and processed through secure payment systems. We never store your complete credit card number on our servers. We continuously adopt new security technologies to ensure your financial information remains protected.

What We'll Never Do With Your Data

We will not exchange, share, rent, or sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your information stays with us and is used only to serve you better.

Our Store Platform & Enhanced Services

Shopify Platform & Data Processing

The Black Art Depot is hosted on Shopify, which means Shopify processes your data when you visit and make purchases on our store. This includes providing enhanced services based on your interactions with our store, other merchants on Shopify's platform, and Shopify itself.

These enhanced services help us:

Protect you from fraud: Shopify identifies suspicious patterns across their network to block fraudulent transactions before they reach our store
Show you relevant products: Recommend items based on what similar customers have purchased
Improve your experience: Optimize our store based on shopping patterns and preferences
Deliver better ads: Show you relevant products when you browse other websites

Your information may be shared with Shopify and other service providers (including those located in other countries) to provide these services. Learn more about how Shopify handles your data in Shopify's Privacy Policy.
