When you make a purchase on our website, we gather the personal details you provide, such as your name, address, and email. Additionally, as you navigate our site, we automatically receive your computer's IP address to better understand your browsing habits and operating system.

If you opt in, we may also send you emails regarding our website, new products, and updates.

Section 2 - Consent

Your consent is implied when you furnish personal information for a transaction, credit card verification, order placement, delivery arrangements, or returns. We only use this information for the specified purpose. If we require your information for secondary reasons, such as marketing, we will directly seek your express consent or offer you the option to decline.

Should you change your mind after opting in, you can withdraw your consent at any time for us to contact you or continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information.

Section 3 - Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if mandated by law or if you violate our terms of service.

Section 4 – 18 Below Design

Our website is seamlessly integrated with an e-commerce platform facilitating product sales. Your data is securely stored in our databases behind a firewall. If you opt for direct payment, your credit card data is encrypted according to PCI-DSS standards and retained only for the duration necessary to complete your purchase.

All direct payments adhere to PCI-DSS standards managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, ensuring the secure handling of credit card information by our website and its service providers. For further details, refer to our Terms of Service.

Third-party providers utilized by us only access, use, and disclose your information to the extent required for service provision. However, these providers have their own privacy policies, particularly concerning purchase-related transactions. We advise reviewing their policies to understand how they handle your personal information, especially considering potential jurisdictional differences.

Once you leave our site and interact with a third-party website or application, this privacy policy and our website’s terms of service no longer apply.
