How We Protect Your Personal Data

All LandscapeDirect Corp web stores are powered by Shopify an industry leading e-commerce platform. Shopify employs the following security measures to protect user data and ensure the safety of online transactions:
SSL Certification: Shopify provides an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate for all stores. This encrypts data transmitted between the customer's browser and the Shopify store, protecting sensitive information like credit card numbers and personal details.

PCI Compliance: Shopify is compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This is a set of security standards designed to ensure that all companies accepting, processing, storing, or transmitting credit card information maintain a secure environment.

Regular Security Audits and Updates: Shopify undergoes regular security assessments and updates to safeguard against new vulnerabilities and threats. This includes both internal assessments and external audits by third-party security experts.

Risk Analysis Tools: Shopify offers built-in risk analysis tools that help merchants identify potentially fraudulent transactions. This system analyzes transactions for signs of fraud and alerts the merchant.

Data Encryption: In addition to SSL encryption for data in transit, Shopify also encrypts sensitive data at rest, further securing customer information stored on their servers.

Secure Hosting: Shopify's hosting infrastructure is designed with security in mind, offering robust physical and network security measures. This includes redundant data storage, network firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.

Two-Factor Authentication: For added security, Shopify offers two-factor authentication (2FA) for store owners. This requires a second form of verification beyond just a password, such as a code sent to a mobile device.

Backup and Recovery: Shopify provides automated backups for store data, enabling quick recovery in the event of data loss or a security breach.

Privacy Policies: Shopify has a comprehensive privacy policy that outlines how customer data is collected, used, and protected. Compliance with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA is also a priority for Shopify.

User Access Controls: Merchants can set up various levels of access for staff accounts, ensuring that employees only have access to the necessary information and functionalities within the Shopify store.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.

International Data Transfers

We transfer user personal data to the following countries:
1. Canada.
When we transfer user personal data we will protect that data as described in this Privacy Policy and
