This Privacy Policy outlines what information Podiko collects on our Website, how we use and share that information, and how we safeguard it. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, please refrain from using our Website. Please note that this Policy only covers data collected through the Website and not through any other means.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
Contact and Basic Details: This includes personal information you provide such as your name, username, user ID, email address, and physical address.
Payment Information: When placing an order, you will be asked to provide payment details (e.g., credit card). By doing so, you confirm that this information is accurate and that you are authorized to use the payment method.
IP Address: When you browse Podiko, we automatically collect your IP address to help us understand your browser and operating system for technical improvements.
When you provide your personal information for account creation, purchases, or other interactions, you consent to its collection and use for those specific purposes. If we request it for secondary uses (e.g., marketing), we will obtain your consent or give you the opportunity to opt out.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected for purposes such as:
-
Enabling access to the Podiko store
-
Processing orders and managing your account
-
Handling payments
-
Sending service-related messages and updates
-
Providing analytics and performance reports
-
Offering customer support
-
Sending marketing communications (with your consent)
Our use of your data is based on legitimate business needs, contract fulfillment, legal obligations, or your consent.
3. Sharing of Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We only share your information with trusted third-party partners who help us run our website, process orders, or provide services — and only if they agree to keep your data confidential. We may also disclose information if legally required or to protect our rights and users' safety.
4. Third-Party Services
Some third-party providers (e.g., payment gateways) collect and use your data as needed to carry out their services. These providers have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
If your transaction involves a provider located in a different country, your data may be subject to that jurisdiction’s laws. For example, a U.S.-based payment processor may be required to comply with the Patriot Act if you’re in Canada.
Once you leave our site or interact with a third-party link, their privacy policy applies, not ours.
5. Data Protection
We follow industry standards and take all reasonable steps to prevent misuse, unauthorized access, or loss of your data.
Sensitive data like credit card information is encrypted using SSL and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method is entirely secure, we meet all PCI-DSS standards and follow recognized practices for protecting user data.
6. Where We Store Your Data
Your data may be processed at our office or by authorized third parties. By submitting your information, you consent to its transfer, processing, and storage as described in this policy.
Our address is:
Podiko
6101 Midway St, Sacramento, CA 95828, United States
7. Data Retention
We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. We will not keep your data longer than needed once your account is closed.
8. Use of Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience. Cookies help identify returning users and improve service efficiency. You can disable cookies via your browser settings, but this may affect the functionality of our site.
Third-party advertisers may also use cookies subject to their privacy policies, not ours.
Our services are not intended for individuals under 18 years old.
9. Managing Your Information
You may update or delete your personal data at any time via your account settings or by contacting us at support@podiko.com. When you request account deletion, we will remove your data from our active systems but may retain some data for fraud prevention, legal, or administrative purposes.
10. Policy Updates
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect immediately upon being posted. Major changes may be announced on our homepage or via email if you are subscribed.
Your continued use of the Website after changes indicates acceptance. If you disagree with any revisions, please stop using our services.
