Data Security

Shopizo stores all website data on secure hosting servers provided by our hosting provider. All personal information and backups are protected using encryption to help keep them safe.

We follow standard industry practices to protect your data both during transmission and after it is received. This includes security measures such as firewalls, password protection and access controls to prevent unauthorized access, misuse or loss of data.

We also use SSL technology to encrypt data during transfer over the internet, along with additional security features to help protect personal information.

However, it is important to understand that no system on the internet is completely secure. We cannot fully guarantee the absolute safety of any information you share with us or store on our platform, and you do so at your own risk.

If we ever detect a security breach, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by applicable laws.

When you create a Shopizo account, your email address, nickname and password are only kept if you confirm your registration within 1 hour through the confirmation email sent to you.

If you do not confirm your account within 1 hour, your email, nickname and password will be automatically deleted from our system.

We keep your personal data only for as long as your Shopizo account remains active. You can also request deletion of your data at any time, as explained in the Your Rights section.

For security purposes, any information stored in our web server logs is automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Business changes: If Shopizo is involved in a merger, sale of assets, acquisition, or in rare cases of business closure or bankruptcy, your personal data may be transferred to another company.
