SECTION 1 – WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND WHY?
When you make a purchase from our store, we collect personal details you provide, such as your name, address, and email address, as part of the buying and selling process.
When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. This information helps us understand your browser and operating system, which improves your experience.
Email Marketing (Optional): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.
SECTION 2 – YOUR CONSENT
How do we get your consent? When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction (like verifying your credit card, placing an order, arranging delivery, or processing a return), you imply that you consent to us collecting and using that information solely for that specific purpose.
If we need your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your explicit consent or give you a clear opportunity to decline.
How do you withdraw your consent? If you change your mind after opting in, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you, or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time. Simply contact us at info@healthquest.com.sg or mail us at:

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.
SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY PLATFORM
Our online store is hosted by Shopify Inc. They provide the e-commerce platform that enables us to sell products and services to you.
Your data is stored securely through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application, protected by a firewall.
Payments: If you use a direct payment gateway for your purchase, Shopify encrypts and stores your credit card data according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your transaction, after which it is deleted.
All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS standards, a joint effort by major brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. These requirements ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.
For more details, you can review Shopify’s Terms of Service and Privacy Statement on their website.
SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Generally, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary for them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers (like payment gateways) have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide for your purchase-related transactions. We strongly recommend reading their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled by them.
Be aware that some providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than you or us. If you proceed with a transaction involving a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) where that service provider or its facilities are located. For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a U.S.-based payment gateway, your personal information might be subject to U.S. legislation like the Patriot Act.
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.
External Links: When you click on links in our store that direct you away from our site, please note we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. We encourage you to read their privacy statements.
Google Analytics: Our store may use Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and page views.
SECTION 6 – DATA SECURITY
To protect your personal information, we implement reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to prevent it from being inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.
If you provide us with credit card information, it is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure, we adhere to all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
