PRIVACY POLICY
1. Overview
520scooters.com respects your privacy and the security of your personal information, and we want to do as much as we can to protect it.
When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.
With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.
​
2. Consent
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at anytime.
​
3. Payment
Our payments are processed through PayPal. They provide us with the online payment platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through PayPal's data storage, databases and the general PayPal application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then PayPal stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
For more insight, you may also want to read PayPal’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.

4. Third-Party Services
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
You may also have the ability to interface, through the use of APIs, with third party websites such as social websites like Facebook and Twitter. Be advised that we cannot be responsible for any breaches of privacy that may arise from the use of these third party websites.
Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
We may send you periodic emails that concern updates or features. Nobody likes spam, so we make sure to comply with CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, 15 U.S.C. 7701 whenever we send you these goodies. If you feel that you are receiving unwanted messages from us (which we hope isn’t the case!) then please use the unsubscribe button or email us to remove yourself from our list. Please allow for up to ten (10) business days to process the removal.
