Privacy Policy
1. What Information Do We Collect?
When you purchase from our store, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address. We also receive your computer’s IP address automatically when you browse our site, which helps us learn about your browser and operating system. If you opt in, we may send you marketing emails about our store, new products, and updates.
2. Consent
How do we get your consent?
By providing your personal information to complete a transaction, verify a credit card, place an order, arrange delivery, or process a return, you consent to our collecting and using it for that specific purpose. If we request your information for another reason (like marketing), we will ask directly for your express consent or give you the opportunity to opt out.
How do I withdraw my consent?
If you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you or to collect, use, or disclose your information at any time by contacting us at shop@barna.org
3. Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
4. Shopify
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide the e-commerce platform that enables us to sell products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and application on secure servers behind a firewall.
Payments:
If you use a direct payment gateway, Shopify stores your credit card data encrypted through PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). Transaction data is stored only as long as needed to complete your purchase and is deleted afterward. All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council (a joint effort of Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).
For more details, see Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.
5. Third-Party Services
Third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information as needed to perform services for us. However, some providers (such as payment gateways) have their own privacy policies regarding the information we’re required to share with them. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how your data is handled. Note: These providers may be located in jurisdictions different from yours or ours. So, your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party site, this policy no longer applies.
Links:
Our site may include links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.
6. Security
We follow industry best practices and PCI-DSS requirements to protect your personal information and ensure it’s not lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. If you provide credit card information, it’s encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure, we implement appropriate safeguards to protect your data.
7. Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Here are some cookies we use:
- _session_id: Stores session info (referrer, landing page, etc.)
- _shopify_visit: Tracks visit count (expires after 30 mins)
- _shopify_uniq: Counts visits per customer (expires next day)
- cart: Stores cart content (expires in 2 weeks)

You can choose to opt out of cookies through your browser settings.
8. Age of Consent
By using this site, you confirm that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence—or that you are the age of majority and have given us consent to allow any minor dependents to use the site.
9. Policy Updates
We may update this policy at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting to our website. If we make significant updates, we will notify you here.
If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred so we can continue serving you.
