Marketplace Privacy & Data Protection Policy
At Praise The Sun, we prioritize your security, personal integrity, and transaction transparency across all marketplace buyers and verified merchant sellers.
1. Information We Collect from Buyers and Sellers
When you browse, register, or execute wholesale or retail transactions on Praise The Sun, we collect identifiable and transactional data to ensure frictionless order execution:
- Account Data: Full name, verified email, telephone number, and business registration for wholesale buyers.
- Fulfillment Details: Billing address, commercial delivery docks, carrier instructions, and tax identification numbers.
- Automated Device Telemetry: IP address, geolocation proxy data, browser fingerprinting, and session security cookies.
2. How Data is Utilized in Our Marketplace
We process your information strictly for legitimate commercial and regulatory objectives:
📦 Order Fulfillment
Dispatching order items, dispatching tracking numbers, and routing shipping consignments.
⚡ Tier Volume Discounting
Validating quantity tier thresholds, applying wholesale discounts, and invoicing accurately.
🛡️ Escrow & Fraud Prevention
Preventing fraudulent payment methods, chargeback mitigation, and buyer dispute management.
3. Payment & Escrow Security
We do not store complete credit card numbers on our local databases. All payment transactions are encrypted and tokenized using Tier-1 PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, and certified banking partners).
4. Merchant & Carrier Sharing
As a multi-vendor marketplace, Praise The Sun connects independent buyers with verified third-party merchants. When you purchase an item, the merchant receives necessary fulfillment details (shipping recipient name, delivery address, phone) solely to package and dispatch your products.
5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We utilize essential session cookies to remember your cart items, preserve your wholesale quantity tier pricing calculations, and maintain authenticated vendor/buyer sessions.
6. Your Global Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Regardless of your jurisdiction, you retain full rights regarding your data:
- Right to Access & Portability: Request an export of all recorded orders and profile metadata.
- Right to Erasure (Be Forgotten): Request deletion of personal records subject to tax preservation statutes.
- Right to Rectification: Update shipping credentials or corporate invoicing records instantly.
