How We Protect Your Personal Data

theplantspace.ca uses Wix & Wix products in our ongoing website activities. Wix has

implemented security measures designed to protect the personal information you share with us

including physical, electronic and procedural measures. Wix also has additionally implemented

encryption of Users and Users-of-Users personal information.

In addition, Wix offers HTTPS secure access to most areas on our platform and the

transmission of sensitive payment information (such as a credit card number) through our

designated purchase forms are protected by an industry standard SSL/TLS encrypted

connection. Wix also maintain PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards)

certification.

Wix regularly monitors its systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and seeks new thirdparty

services to secure our platform and enhance our visitors’ and users’ privacy.

While Wix take all reasonable precautions to ensure that user data is secure and that users are

protected, there always remains the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be insecure at

times and therefore we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is

reasonably practical.
