4. Payments and Financial Information

Payments made through our website may be processed by independent third-party payment service providers.

Payment providers may collect information such as your name, billing details, payment method and transaction information to authorise and process your payment.

Complete debit or credit card details are generally entered directly into the secure system provided by the relevant payment provider. The Love Charm Collective does not intentionally collect or store complete payment card numbers or card security codes on its own website systems.

Payment providers handle information according to their own privacy policies, security procedures and terms of service.

We may retain limited transaction information, such as the payment status, transaction reference, purchase amount and payment method, for order management, accounting, refunds, fraud prevention and legal compliance.

These providers may only receive the information reasonably required to perform their services.

We do not sell or rent customer personal information to unrelated third parties.

This may include providers located in countries such as the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, countries within the European Economic Area, or other countries in which our technology, hosting, payment, analytics, marketing or delivery providers operate.

The countries involved may change depending on the service providers used by our business.

Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas disclosures are handled consistently with applicable Australian privacy obligations. However, overseas recipients may also be subject to the privacy and data protection laws of their own countries.
