Security Capabilities & Data Protection Policy
At Sparkle Wears, your privacy and data security are our top priorities. As a trusted brand for parents and families, we are committed to ensuring that your shopping experience is not only enjoyable but also secure from start to finish.
This policy outlines the measures we take to safeguard your personal and financial information when you interact with our website.
Secure Transmission of Payment Details
All credit card transactions on the Sparkle Wears website are transmitted securely using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption, which protects your data during transmission between your browser and our servers. This encryption ensures that all sensitive information is unreadable to unauthorized parties.
To further protect your financial information:
- We do not store or retain your credit card details on our servers.
- All payments are processed by PCI DSS-compliant payment gateways such as Shopify Payments, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
- Your card details are encrypted and sent directly to our payment processor through secure channels.
For added protection, we may request identity verification in select cases to prevent fraud and unauthorized use of payment methods.
