WooCommerce stores information associated with orders and customer accounts as part of the normal operation of an online store.

 

We retain such information for as long as reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes, including order fulfilment, customer service, accounting, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, and compliance with applicable laws.

6. Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

We may, however, share relevant information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our business and provide our services.

These may include:

  • Payment processors and financial service providers
  • Delivery and logistics companies
  • Website hosting and technical service providers
  • Email and communication service providers
  • Analytics and marketing service providers
  • Fraud prevention and security providers
  • Professional advisers where necessary
  • Government, regulatory, or law-enforcement authorities where legally required

We only seek to share information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant service or purpose.

 

For example, payment gateways may receive customer and transaction information required to process a payment, while shipping providers may receive information necessary to deliver an order.

7. Third-Party Services

Our Website may use third-party services, plugins, integrations, payment gateways, analytics tools, advertising platforms, social media services, or other technologies.

 

These third parties may process certain information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

The exact information shared depends on the services and plugins installed and enabled on our Website. WooCommerce notes that extensions can transmit customer information to external services such as payment providers, shipping providers, analytics services, email platforms, and other integrations.

 

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of relevant third-party service providers.

These measures may include:

  • Secure website connections

  • Secure hosting and website administration
  • Regular software and security updates

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
