E-Commerce

How do we process payments?

Our order process is conducted by our E-Commerce Platform.

PCI Compliance

Our E-Commerce Platform is PCI DSS SAQ A Compliant - this means that we do not directly store card information and are PCI Compliant for web transactions only.

Fraud Protection

Our E-Commerce platform utilizes third party prevention tools to provide an additional layer of fraud protection. These alerts monitor and intercept transactions that have a confirmed chargeback risk due to fraud.

GDPR E-Commerce

Our E-Commerce Platform is GDPR ready.

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party links on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. We are not responsible for the content of any linked website and cannot take responsibility for the consequences of your using the information or services on linked websites. We cannot guarantee that these links will work all of the time. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

This Website uses interfaces with social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others. If you choose to “like” or “share” information from this website through these services, you should review the privacy policy of that service.

We embed external content from third-party websites such as YouTube. This content is not published on this Website. It is delivered using devices and services provided by such third party sites that can be inserted into our site. We are not responsible for this content.

WowThemes.net creates free and premium themes, templates, plugins and scripts. The products usually have a website demo assigned. Demos are hosted on various domains which we own. The current privacy policy applies, except no personal data is used.

We store data via contact forms, subscribe forms, comments but we never use them. Product demo websites have no real purpose other than introducing a product’s design and/or functionality. We assume you are only testing the functionality of that specific product while submitting the forms thus we never use your data in response. However, you can of course exercise your GDPR rights.

Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information. We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with and forced by the law.

Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for (re)marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Breach Notifications

We use SSL encryption in the transmission of your personal information between your system and ours. However, no system can be completely secure. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and we are unable to guarantee the absolute security of the Personal Information we have collected from you.

If our Website experiences a data breach we will immediately communicate this to those users affected by the breach. A notification will be sent within 72 hours to all affected users.

How can you exercise your rights?

In most circumstances, our Company will provide subjects with a copy of the information they request free of charge. However, we are permitted to charge a “reasonable fee” when a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.

The fee must be based on the administrative cost of providing the information.

An alternative solution for excessive, unfounded or repetitive requests is to refuse to comply. In such case we will explain to the individual why we’re refusing to comply, and let them know of their right to appeal to the organisation’s supervisory authority.
