We may also collect information about the time and date of your visit and the time spent on each page.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some portions of the Site may not function properly without cookies.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, including payment processing (Stripe), email delivery (Resend), file storage (Uploadthing), and web hosting (Vercel). These parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Protection of Rights: We may disclose your information where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Atlas Compounds USA, our customers, or others.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Order records are retained for a minimum of seven (7) years for tax and compliance purposes. Account information is retained until you request deletion.

6. Security of Your Information

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Payment information is transmitted using industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption and is processed exclusively by Stripe, which maintains PCI DSS compliance.

No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
