PART 1 – WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR DATA?
When you purchase something from Elara Dublin, we collect the personal information you provide as part of the buying and selling process, such as your name, address, and e-mail address.
When you browse our store, we automatically receive your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. This provides us with information that helps us understand your browser, device, and operating system.
If you give us permission, we may send you marketing emails about our products, promotions, and updates.
PART 2 – CONSENT
How do you give consent?
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange delivery, or request a return, you consent to our collecting and using that information for that specific purpose only.
If we request your information for any additional purpose—such as marketing—we will ask for your explicit consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.

PART 3 – DISCLOSURE
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
PART 4 – SHOPIFY
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products to you.
Your data is stored securely in Shopify’s databases and servers behind a firewall.
Payment information
If you choose a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data encrypted under PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards).
Your transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete the purchase.
All direct payment gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover).
PART 6 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Third-party providers only collect, use, and disclose your information as necessary to perform the services they provide to us.
However, some providers (like payment gateways) may have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide for your purchases.
We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how they handle your data.
Certain providers may be located in—or operate from—other countries. Your information could therefore become subject to other jurisdictions’ laws (e.g., U.S. Patriot Act) when used for payment processing abroad.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party application, this Privacy Policy and our Terms no longer apply.

PART 7 – SECURITY
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to ensure your personal information is not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
When you enter credit card data, it is encrypted using SSL technology and stored with AES-256 encryption.
