Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from tieke.net.

SECTION 1 – What Do We Do With Your Information?

When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address, as part of the buying and selling process.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s IP address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.

Email Marketing: If you’ve purchased from us or subscribed to our newsletter, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and updates.

SECTION 2 – Consent

How do you get my consent?
When you provide personal information to complete a transaction—such as verifying your payment, placing an order, or arranging delivery—we imply that you consent to our collecting and using that information for those specific purposes.

If we ask for your information for a secondary reason (e.g., marketing), we will either ask for your express consent or provide a way to opt out.

How do I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind after opting in, you can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at:

SECTION 3 – Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information:

  • If required by law

  • If you violate our Terms of Service

SECTION 4 – Payment Security

If you use a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, your credit card data is encrypted and processed according to PCI-DSS standards (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).

We store your transaction data only as long as needed to complete your purchase. Once finalized, the data is deleted.

All payment gateways we use comply with PCI-DSS standards, which are managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint initiative of Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

SECTION 5 – Third-Party Services

We work with third-party providers only to the extent required to perform essential services (e.g., payment processing, shipping). These providers may have their own privacy policies.

Important Note:
Certain providers may operate in different jurisdictions. If your transaction is processed in a country other than yours, your personal data may be subject to that country’s laws (e.g., U.S. Patriot Act if processed in the U.S.).

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information.

  • All sensitive data, including credit card details, is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and stored with AES-256 encryption.

  • While no method is 100% secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and follow widely accepted security practices.
