If you pay by credit card, your credit card data goes to a direct payment gateway to process run by Shopify, in Canada. 

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 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.

We take all reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access modification or unauthorised disclosure.

Your credit card information goes directly through to the Shopify payment gateway and is stored by them until it is no longer required for the transaction. The credit card data is encrypted in accordance with the PCI-DSS requirements.  Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we ensure that our gateway providers follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
