By using our website or purchasing from IKC (“we”, “us”, “our”), you agree to this Privacy Policy as well as our Messaging Terms and Messaging Privacy Policy.
When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect personal information such as your name, address, email address, and payment details.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address to help us learn about your browser, device, and operating system for analytics and site optimization.
Email marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about new products, special offers, or other updates from IKC.
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange a delivery, or process a return, we imply your consent to collect and use that information for that specific purpose.
If we request your information for a secondary reason (such as marketing), we will either ask for your express consent or give you an opportunity to opt out.
If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or to continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information at any time by contacting us at [insert contact email] or mailing us at:

We may disclose your personal information if required by law, or if you violate our Terms of Service.
Our online store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.
Your data is stored through Shopify’s secure data storage, databases, and general application. Shopify stores your data on a secure server protected by a firewall.
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data in encrypted form through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
Your transaction data is retained only as long as necessary to complete the purchase and is deleted afterward.
All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (a joint effort of Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). These standards ensure secure handling of credit card data.
For additional information, you can review Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.
In general, third-party providers used by us collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide (e.g., shipping, analytics, marketing, or payment processing).
However, some providers—particularly payment processors—have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must share for your transactions. We encourage you to review their policies so you understand how your data is handled.
Certain third-party providers may operate in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you proceed with a transaction involving such a provider, your information may become subject to the laws of that jurisdiction (for example, U.S. data disclosure laws if processed in the United States).
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party application, this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service no longer apply.
When you click on external links on our site, they may direct you away from IKC. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to review their privacy statements.
We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
If you provide us with credit card information, it is encrypted via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption.
While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we comply with PCI-DSS standards and implement additional safeguards consistent with industry standards.
