SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.
Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

LEGALS & COMPLIANCE WITH European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Privacy Statement

Purpose

Protecting your privacy is important to SeaHouse Imagery. (“SeaHouse”)

SeaHouse provides digital products and services. SeaHouse has adopted this Privacy Statement to guide you through the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information (“Personal Data”, as further described below) that you may provide while using SeaHouse’s website and services (collectively referred to as “Services”). SeaHouse encourages you to read this Privacy Statement, as well as our Terms and Conditions of Use, in order to understand how we collect and process Personal Data in the course of providing the Services and your interaction with the Services.

By using the Services, you consent to the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of your Personal Data for processing as described in, and subject to the limitations set out in, this Privacy Statement.

Note to Residents of the European Union: In order to comply with the requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for our European users, this Privacy Statement outlines the legal basis on which we process your Personal Data and provides other information required by the GDPR.

Personal Data

Personal Data is any information that would identify a person directly, or indirectly in combination with data from other sources. For example, a full name, home or work address, phone number, national identification number (SSN, SIN, etc.), email address, banking details, IP address, biometric data, usage data, or any information that may individually identify a person.

SeaHouse may collect Personal Data including without limitation your name, shipping and billing addresses, phone number, email address, payment information, IP address, and device identifiers and/or geolocation information, in the course of its Services, and may use or disclose that Personal Data as described with this Privacy Statement.

Consent and Collection of Personal Data

If you use SeaHouse’s website, or conduct a transaction through a SeaHouse Service where Personal Data is essential, your consent is implied to collect and use your Personal Data to facilitate that use or complete that transaction requested or initiated by you only. Examples of instances in which Personal Data may be collected by SeaHouse are, but are not limited to:

• When you purchase a product from the SeaHouse website/online store, including digital products or memberships.
• When you access and navigate the SeaHouse website, or engage in communication and/or business transactions with SeaHouse Services.
• If you knowingly submit Personal Data through the SeaHouse website for the purpose of registering for a service, a contest, or authentication.

During these instances, we may collect data such as, but not restricted to: areas of the Services or SeaHouse website you visit, transaction type(s) you engage in or request (and amounts thereof), content you view, your IP address, data downloaded or submitted by you, payment information provided by you, shipping and billing information entered by you, as well as the nature, quantity and price of the goods or services you exchange and the individuals or entities with whom you communicate or transact business using the Services.

In the event SeaHouse requests Personal Data for scenarios independent of the above, such as marketing-related questions via questionnaires, surveys, and profile data, it will include a specific consent request. The consent request will include a clear purpose and goal for the collection of Personal Data, along with a means of withdrawing consent. In these scenarios, we may ask for data such as, but not limited to: your contact information (name, telephone numbers, email address, mailing address), date of birth, product and/or cosmetic concerns, which brands and products you use, user authentication and security information (e.g. username and password).

If at any point you wish to withdraw consent to Personal Data collection, please contact the SeaHouse Privacy Officer via the Contact & Questions area at the bottom of this Privacy Statement. Please note that certain Services may only be able to be offered or provided to you if you disclose the Personal Data necessary to facilitate those Services, and therefore SeaHouse may not be able to provide you with certain Services in the event that you choose not to disclose that Personal Data to SeaHouse.

Age of Consent

The Services offered by SeaHouse are directed towards and designed for the use of persons above the age of majority in your province, state, or country. Persons under the age of majority are not permitted to use the Services on their own, and SeaHouse will not approve applications of, or establish, or maintain accounts or memberships for, any persons below their respective region’s age of majority.

SeaHouse does not solicit or knowingly collect Personal Data from persons below the age of majority of their region. If we discover we have received Personal Data of a person below the age of majority, we will delete such information from our systems. Additionally, if a parent or legal guardian believes that Personal Data regarding a minor in their care has been provided to SeaHouse, they may request the minor’s information be corrected or deleted by contacting the SeaHouse Privacy Officer via the Contact & Questions area at the bottom of this Privacy Statement.

Anonymous Information

When you interact with a SeaHouse Service, similar to most other websites and online services, certain anonymous technical information about your visit is automatically logged and collected by SeaHouse. This may include information about the type of browser you use, operating system, the date and time you access the Service, the links you accessed while using the Service, and the internet address of the website, if any, which linked directly to the SeaHouse Service. This information is used for system administration purposes such as diagnosing problems with SeaHouse’s Services, servers and websites, compiling aggregated and statistical information, and to improve the operation and content of the SeaHouse website and Services. It is not personally identifiable, and is not considered Personal Data and subject to this Privacy Statement.

Personal Data Use

SeaHouse may use collected Personal Data for such purposes as:

• Helping to establish and verify the identity of users, and to keep user accounts secure,
• Opening, maintaining, administering and servicing users’ accounts or memberships,
• Providing Services and support to users,
• Improving SeaHouse’s website, including tailoring its website to users’ preferences,

• Corresponding with you, and responding to your questions, inquiries, comments, and instructions,
• Maintaining the security and integrity of SeaHouse systems, and,
• Complying with applicable laws.

Once collected, SeaHouse will store and process your Personal Data in secure locations. SeaHouse may transmit data outside of Australia for the purposes of processing and executing transactions related to the Services, in connection with its online store. Where this transmission occurs, the security measures outlined in this Privacy Statement will continue to apply.

Personal Data will only be retained by SeaHouse for the length of time required, to fulfil the purpose, or complete, the transaction for which it was collected, or as may be required by law. Beyond that point, Personal Data in the possession or control of SeaHouse will be made anonymous or securely destroyed.

Legal Basis for Processing

This section addresses the legal basis for processing your Personal Data if you reside outside of Australia and in the European Economic Area (within Australia, you typically provide consent when you receive notice of this Privacy Statement in a website link).

Lawful Basis for Processing

Data protection law in the European Union requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and retaining Personal Data from citizens or residents of the European Economic Area. SeaHouse collects and processes your Personal Data for a variety of purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement. In certain cases, separate consent to this processing is not required, including:

• For the performance of a contract: To perform our contractual obligations to you, including account registration, fulfilling orders or purchases you have made (including processing of payment), contacting you in relation to any issues with your order, in relation to the provision of the Services, where SeaHouse needs to provide your Personal Data to our service providers to provide the Services, or to aggregate and centralize data for the performance of the Services.
• To meet legal obligations: To comply with laws, regulations, court orders, or other legal obligations or to assist in an investigation.
• For legitimate interests: To operate SeaHouse’s business and provide the Services, other than in performing our contractual obligations to you, except where overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms that require protection of Personal Data. For example, the following areas include processing permitted due to legitimate interests:
• Communication. To communicate with you regarding the Services, including to provide you important notices regarding changes to SeaHouse’s Terms of Use, and also to address your requests, inquiries, and complaints. SeaHouse may send strictly necessary communications, including emails, even if you have opted out of receiving other SeaHouse emails or communications. These types of communications do not require consent. SeaHouse also processes your Personal Data for our legitimate interests when you communicate with us, including when you sign up for promotional materials and SeaHouse has not asked you for your consent in that regard.
• Respond to Your Requests. To respond to your requests for technical support, online services, product information or to any other communication you initiate. This includes accessing your account to address technical support requests.
• Promotional Messages. SeaHouse processes your non-sensitive Personal Data to provide you with promotional messages, including when you communicate with SeaHouse or sign up for promotional materials, when you participate in special activities, offers, or programs, when we aggregate and centralize data, and when we share Personal Data with our service providers and vendors.
• Surveys. To send you surveys in connection with our Services, unless commercial in nature. In those cases, a survey request may be sent to you if you have given SeaHouse your consent to receive marketing from us.
• Compliance with Law and Public Safety. To assist in the investigation of suspected illegal or wrongful activity, including sharing information with other entities for fraud, loss, and crime prevention purposes. To protect and defend SeaHouse’s rights and property, or the rights or safety of third parties.
• Improvement and Development. To develop, provide, enhance, and improve SeaHouse Services and your experience, including to enable, you to use the full range of our Services. For internal purposes related to certain research, analytics, innovation, testing, monitoring, customer communication, risk management, and administrative purposes.
• Enforcing Terms and Notice. To enforce SeaHouse’s Terms of Use or this Privacy Statement, or agreements with third parties.

Consent as a Basis for Processing

In some cases, SeaHouse will ask for your consent, to process your Personal Data. You may indicate your consent in a number of ways, including, as may be presented by SeaHouse and permitted by law, ticking a box (or equivalent action) to indicate your consent when providing us with your Personal Data through our Services or a form, or registering or creating an account with us. Note that certain country/region-specific rules regarding consent may also apply, depending upon the jurisdiction in which you reside.

Security

SeaHouse maintains reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to minimize the risk of unauthorized loss, theft, copying, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your Personal Data.

If transactions are offered as part of a SeaHouse Service, transaction information is transmitted to and from SeaHouse in encrypted form using industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections to help protect such information, including Personal Data transmitted in the course of these transactions, from interception.

SeaHouse also restricts access to your Personal Information to only those persons who have a legitimate business need or legal requirement to view it in connection with the Services. You, as a Personal Data owner, may also authorize any persons you may choose to have access to your Personal Data.

Although SeaHouse does utilize security measures appropriate to the level of risk, no method of data transfer or storage on the internet is 100% secure and security risks cannot be eliminated entirely. As such, SeaHouse cannot guarantee perfect security, integrity, or confidentiality of Personal Data.

SeaHouse maintains a security incident response protocol to be put in place in the event that the security of your Personal Data in the possession or control of SeaHouse is compromised. In the event of a data breach or security incident involving the Services, SeaHouse will apply this protocol to enable SeaHouse to effectively and efficiently respond to, and contain, the breach or incident. SeaHouse may also seek to notify you in such event. If notification is appropriate or required, SeaHouse may notify you by email, messaging to your device, or other reasonable means.

Disclosure of Personal Data

SeaHouse does not provide Personal Data to unaffiliated third parties for their use in marketing directly to you. We may use unaffiliated companies, or trusted third party service providers, to help maintain and operate our Services for reasons related to our business operations and to better serve you, and those companies may receive your Personal Data for that purpose (including the Shopify Platform, Memberships apps and other apps used in the SeaHouse online store). For example, SeaHouse may use third party payment processor services in connection with the Services and its websites, and the payment information that you provide to SeaHouse may be disclosed to and used by these payment processors for the purposes of completing and executing transactions requested or initiated by you. When SeaHouse shares Personal Data with third-party services that support our delivery of the Services, we require that they use your Personal Data only for the purposes we’ve authorized, and that they protect your Personal Data to at least the same standards used by SeaHouse.

SeaHouse may also disclose Personal Data about you in connection with legal requirements, such as in response to an authorized subpoena, governmental request or investigation, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to protect SeaHouse’s legal rights, property, or the safety of SeaHouse, its employees, users or others).

If you believe your Personal Data has been disclosed other than as described in this Privacy Statement, please contact the SeaHouse Privacy Officer via the Contact & Questions area at the bottom of this Privacy Statement.

Transfers of Your Personal Data to Other Countries

The Personal Data SeaHouse processes, and associated Services and systems, may be housed on servers in various locations where SeaHouse maintains servers or facilities, including Australia, Canada, the United States, and the EU. Please be aware that Personal Data we collect may be processed and stored in one or more of these locations. The data protection and privacy laws in these locations may offer a different level of protection than in your country/region, however, as noted earlier in this Privacy Statement, SeaHouse takes steps, including through contracts, intended to ensure that the Personal Data it collects continues to be protected wherever it is located in a manner consistent with the standards of protection required under applicable law.

Where Personal Data is transferred from the European Economic Area to a country that has not received an adequacy decision by the European Commission, SeaHouse relies on appropriate safeguards, such as for example the European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses and EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, to transfer the Personal Data. By using our Services and submitting your Personal Data, you agree to the transfer, storage, and/or processing of your Personal Data in the locations contemplated above. Where and as required, we will seek your explicit consent as outlined in this Privacy Statement.
