Security & Privacy

SECURITY

Payment Security

Our website is Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) compliant as we have partnered with Authorize.Net, a leading payment gateway since 1996, to offer secure credit and debit card transactions for our customers. The Authorize.Net Payment Gateway manages the complex routing of customer information through the credit card and electronic check processing networks. Our partner utilizes industry standards for payment processing. For additional information regarding the privacy of your credit cardholder data, please read the Authorize.Net Privacy Policy.


Our secure server utilizes data encryption to help protect your privacy. When you submit your order, your personal information is encrypted to help prevent others from intercepting and using this data. All online transactions through our website are secured with industry-standard 2048 bit SSL encryption. This means that when you enter your credit card number into our shopping cart and you press the purchase button, your information goes through a secure encryption process which works to prevent any person on the Internet from seeing your information. Within just a few seconds, it reaches our credit card authorization server and is authorized without human intervention.

We Do Not Save Your Credit Card Number

We do not save your credit card number. Once you submit your order, your credit card number is simply passed along, via secure, SSL encryption, to our credit card processor's secure processors.

While some customers might prefer the convenience of not having to re-enter their credit card number, for maximum security we use the PCI preferred practice of not saving this sensitive data.

More on Cookies

We and any affiliates, third parties, and other partners use cookies and other identification technologies on our websites, mobile applications, electronic communications, advertisements, and other online services (collectively, the "Services") for a number of purposes, including: authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of people who interact with our Services. You can read more here about the types of cookies we use/may use, why we use them, and how you can exercise your choices.

Cookies Overview

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements. There are different types of cookies. Cookies served by the entity that operates the domain you are visiting are called “first-party cookies.” So cookies served by us while you are on www.Terrasoul.com are first-party cookies. Cookies served by companies that are not operating the domain you’re visiting are called “third-party cookies.” So, for example, we may allow Google to set a cookie on your browser while you visit our site, and that would be a third party cookie. Cookies may also endure for different periods of time. “Session Cookies” only last only as long as your browser is open. These are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are “persistent cookies” meaning that they survive after your browser is closed. For example, they may recognize your device when you re-open your browser and browse the internet again.

Other Identification Technologies

There are other identification technologies we may use or permit on our Services. “Pixel tags” (also called beacons or pixels) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a webpage, app, or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, including for example: device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, and other similar information, including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device. Pixels provide the means by which third parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner. “Local storage” refers generally to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored by websites, ads, or third parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache). “Software Development Kits” (also called SDKs) function like pixels and cookies, but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The primary app developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) from partners in the app, and thereby allow the partner to collect certain information about user interaction with the app and information about the user device and network information.

Your Choices

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. However, they are an important part of how our Services work, so you should be aware that if you choose to refuse or remove cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of the Services. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. To do so, please follow the instructions provided by your browser which are usually located within the "Help" or “Preferences” menu. Some third parties also provide the ability to refuse their cookies directly by clicking on an opt-out link, and we have indicated where this is possible in the table above.
Removing or rejecting browser cookies does not necessarily affect third party flash cookies which may be used by us or our partners in connection with our Services. To delete or disable flash cookies please visit this site for more information. For further information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org and www.youronlinechoices.eu.


Types and Purposes of Cookies

The following table sets out the different categories of cookies that our Services use or may use in the future, and why we use/may use them.

Security and Site Integrity Cookies

These cookies can support or enable security features to help our site to be safe and secure. For example, they would enable us to remember if you are logged into a secure area of the Services and help protect your account from being accessed by anyone other than you.

Localization

These help us provide a localized experience. For example, we may store information in a cookie that is placed on your browser or device so you will see the site in your preferred language, if and when we offer such a service.

These provide functionality that helps us deliver products and Services. For example, cookies help you log in by pre-filling fields.

Analytics and Research

These are used to understand, improve, and research products and Services, including when you access our website and related websites and apps from a computer or mobile device. For example, we may use cookies to understand how you are using site features, and segmenting audiences for feature testing. We and our partners may use these technologies and the information we receive to improve and understand how you use websites, apps, products, services, and ads.

Advertising

Things like cookies and pixels are used to deliver relevant ads, track ad campaign performance and efficiency. For example, we and our ad partners may rely on information gleaned through these cookies to serve you ads that may be interesting to you on other websites. Similarly, our partners may use a cookie, attribution service or another similar technology to determine whether we’ve served an ad and how it performed or provide us with information about how you interact with them.
