Last Updated: August 2026

SECTION 1 — WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address, and email address.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer's internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

Email marketing: With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates. You may opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send.

SECTION 2 — CONSENT

How do you get my consent?
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

How do I withdraw my consent?
If after you opt in you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at info@benandjonah.com

SECTION 3 — DISCLOSURE

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may disclose your personal information only in the following circumstances:

  • If required by law or government authority
  • If you violate our Terms of Service
  • If our business is acquired or merged with another company, in which case your information may be transferred to the new owners so we may continue to sell products to you

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.

SECTION 5 — THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

To operate our store and fulfill your orders, we share certain information with trusted third-party service providers, including:

  • Shopify — our e-commerce platform
  • Payment processors (PayPal, Shop Pay, and major card networks) — to securely process payments
  • Shipping carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) — to deliver your orders

These providers will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us. Certain providers may be located in a different jurisdiction than you or us, and your information may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

Once you leave our store or are redirected to a third-party website, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of any third-party sites you visit.

SECTION 6 — SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, it is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption.
