1. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

When a purchase is made through our online store, we collect the personal data that you voluntarily provide during the checkout process. This includes your full name, postal address (both billing and shipping), and email address.

Additionally, while you browse our site, we automatically receive your device’s IP address. This allows us to gain insights into your browser type and operating system, which helps us optimise site performance and user experience.

Should you grant permission for email marketing, we will send you communications regarding new products, store updates, and promotional offers. You may revoke this permission at any time (see Section 3).

2. BASIS FOR USING YOUR INFORMATION

Your consent is implied when you supply personal data for the purpose of completing a transaction, verifying your payment card, placing an order, arranging delivery, or processing a return. In such cases, we use your information exclusively for that specific transaction.

If we intend to use your data for any secondary objective—such as direct marketing—we will either request your explicit consent in advance or present you with a clear opt‑out mechanism.

3. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you wish to stop receiving communications from us, or if you want us to cease the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information, please send an email to business@apimbs.com. We will honour your request without undue delay.

4. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

We may disclose your personal information when required by applicable law or regulation, or when necessary to enforce our Terms of Service.

5. THIRD‑PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

We engage certain third‑party vendors to perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processing, shipping, and analytics). These providers are granted access only to the minimum data necessary to fulfil their specific functions.

Please note that each third‑party service provider maintains its own privacy policy governing the information we share with them. We strongly advise you to review those policies.

Furthermore, some of these providers may operate in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you choose to proceed with a transaction involving such a provider, your information may become subject to the laws of that provider’s jurisdiction.

Once you navigate away from our website—whether by clicking an external link or being redirected to a third‑party application—this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of any external sites you visit.

6. DATA SECURITY MEASURES

We implement reasonable safeguards and adhere to industry‑accepted best practices to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Credit card data is encrypted during transmission using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES‑256 encryption. While no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is entirely secure, we comply with all PCI‑DSS requirements and employ additional generally recognised security standards.

7. USE OF COOKIES

Our store uses cookies to enhance functionality and improve your shopping experience. Below is a list of the primary cookies we employ, along with their purposes:

• _session_id – unique token, session‑based – stores session‑related information (referrer, landing page, etc.).

• _shopify_visit – persists for 30 minutes from the last visit – used by our platform’s internal analytics to count visits.

• _shopify_uniq – expires at midnight (relative to the visitor) of the next day – counts the number of visits from a single customer.

• cart – persists for 2 weeks – retains information about the contents of your shopping cart.

• _secure_session_id – unique token, session‑based – maintains a secure session.

• storefront_digest – indefinite – used to verify access if the store is password‑protected.

You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

8. AGE RESTRICTION

By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence. If you are of that age, you may also grant permission for any minor dependents under your care to access the site under your supervision.

9. POLICY UPDATES AND MODIFICATIONS

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will become effective immediately upon posting on this page. If we make material amendments, we will indicate that the policy has been updated so that you remain fully informed about what data we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it.

Should our store be acquired or merged with another entity, your personal information may be transferred to the new owners to allow us to continue providing products and services to you.

10. CONTACT INFORMATION
