In line with that, this Privacy Policy describes how your Personal Data is collected, used, and shared when you visit and purchase from www.bonotox.com.sg (the “Website”). Whether via one of our websites, or through any of our social medias platforms or promotions, our policy is to comply with the requirements of the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (“PDPA”). By doing so, we will ensure compliance by our employees to the standards outlined in the PDPA.
What Personal Data do we collect and process?
When you visit the Website, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.
As you browse through the Website, we also collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Website, and information about how you interact with the Website.

Collection of Order Information
Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell you our products and services. Consequently, your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application, on a secure server behind a firewall.
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data after encrypting it through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). In fact, 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. So, PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
Your purchase transaction data is only stored as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction, and then it is deleted.
