Section 1 – What Do We Do With Your Information?
When you purchase something from Golden Saffron Farms, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, billing and shipping details, and email address.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol, or IP, address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system.

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment method, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting and using that information for that specific purpose only.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your express consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service.
Section 4 – WooCommerce and PayPal
Our store is powered by WooCommerce, an e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services online.
When you place an order through our website, WooCommerce may collect and store information necessary to process your purchase, including your name, billing and shipping details, email address, phone number, order details, and payment-related information. This information is used to process orders, provide customer support, manage refunds and returns, and maintain accurate business records.
Payments Through PayPal
We may use PayPal to process payments securely. When you choose PayPal as your payment method, your payment information is handled directly by PayPal according to its own privacy policy and terms of service.
Golden Saffron Farms does not store your full credit card or payment account details. PayPal may collect and process information necessary to complete your transaction, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, and provide payment services.
We recommend reviewing PayPal’s privacy policy to understand how your personal information is collected, used, and protected by PayPal.
Section 5 – Third-Party Services
In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
Certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
We recommend that you read the privacy policies of these providers so you can understand how your personal information will be handled.
Certain providers may be located in, or have facilities located in, jurisdictions different from yours or ours. If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which that provider or its facilities are located.
Once you leave our 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.
