1. Information We Collect
We gather information about you in several ways when you interact with our Site:

2. How We Obtain Your Consent
Your privacy choices are important to us:
- Implied Consent (Transactions): When you provide personal information to complete a core action like making a purchase, verifying payment, arranging delivery, or processing a return, we infer that you consent to us collecting and using that information specifically for that purpose.
- Express Consent (Marketing & Secondary Uses): For activities beyond core transactions, like email or text marketing, we will ask for your direct, explicit consent (opt-in). We will always provide a clear way for you to decline (opt-out).
- Withdrawing Consent: You have the right to change your mind. If you previously opted-in to marketing or other secondary uses, you can withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, please contact us directly at hello@shevra.com. This withdrawal applies to future contact and the ongoing collection, use, or disclosure of your information for those secondary purposes.
3. Disclosure of Your Information
We respect your privacy and limit disclosure. However, we may share your personal information in specific circumstances:
- Legal Obligations: If required by law, court order, or other legal process, we may need to disclose your information.
- Terms of Service Enforcement: We may disclose information if necessary to enforce our Terms of Service, for example, if you violate them.

We utilize certain third-party services to operate our business.
- General Use: These providers generally collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent required to perform the services they provide to us.
- Payment Processors & Gateways: Providers involved in payment transactions have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide them for your purchases. We recommend reviewing their policies.
- Jurisdictional Differences: Be aware that some third-party providers may be located in different jurisdictions than you or us. If you engage in a transaction involving such a provider (e.g., a US-based payment gateway while you are in Canada), your information may become subject to the laws of that provider's jurisdiction (like the USA Patriot Act).
