Additional information
Storing Payment Methods
Within the My Account section (and at checkout) there is the option to store your payment details for future purchases. This data is held securely by Stripe on their secure servers not by I Love Mixed Media.
How we protect your data
We store only the information you provide to us (typically name, address, email, telephone number and order history). We do not see, handle, process or store any financially sensitive information or card details. Such processing is done directly on the site(s) of our payment service provider(s).
The data we do store is protected by strong passwords and by the fact that our website and admin console are served only over secure encrypted connections.
What third parties we receive data from
When you make payment through our site the payment processor provides us with necessary information to track the payment. Usually the transaction ID. None of your financial data or card details are ever passed to us.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We do not do any automated decision making and/or profiling with your data, but we may from time to time, and at our sole discretion, use customer purchase histories to provide targeted discounts to loyal customers.
