Payment Security:
All payment transactions are processed through trusted third-party gateways that comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your payment information is encrypted and retained only for the duration necessary to complete the transaction, after which it is securely deleted, ensuring the highest standards of financial security.
SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
To deliver a seamless shopping experience, we collaborate with third-party service providers, including payment processors and logistics partners. These providers collect, use, and disclose your information solely to perform their designated functions. We advise reviewing their privacy policies to understand their data handling practices.
Certain providers may operate in jurisdictions different from yours or ours, subjecting your information to the laws of those jurisdictions. For instance, a transaction processed by a U.S.-based payment gateway for a customer in Canada may be subject to U.S. legislation.
Upon leaving shophknow.com or being redirected to a third-party website or application, this Privacy Statement and our Terms of Service no longer apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites and recommend reviewing their policies.
