This policy is available on all of the pages on this site via a link, commonly at the bottom of the screen.

Here's how we protect your privacy.

Essential information we collect In operating our store, it is essential for us to capture some information about your device, such as your IP address and information related to your visit when you browse our store. For example, this might include time-stamp, the last page or product you visited, and the indication that you logged in. We do that in order to:

● remember who you are after you log in so that you do not need to authenticate at each click;

● monitor if our website is running with the high performance we are dedicated to providing;

● let you browse between products without having to start back from the home page at each click;

● remember if you put something in your shopping cart before you decide to checkout; and

● control that your data is processed securely.

We call the information mentioned above “essential information” and we collect it through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files that most websites use. A website places cookies in the web browser and then reads the information collected through the cookies every time the user performs an action. We use cookies. Without enabling this mechanism and this kind of cookies (first-party cookies), we could not provide you with the smooth experience that you expect while you are navigating. 

Cookies and How We Use Them

Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways and this site uses both of them: 

       i.          Session cookies which do not stay on your computer after you close your browser.

      ii.          Persistent cookies which remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can usually refuse cookies or selectively accept cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser. 

The following browsers have online guides to cookies at the following links:

Microsoft Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/260971/description-of-cookies

Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer

Please be aware that a number of features on this website require cookies to operate correctly and turning off cookies will affect your experience on this site.

Order information you expressly provide

If you buy something from our store, we will need more specific information about you. To fully process your order and ship the merchandise you selected, we need your personal data such as your first and last name, your email address and your shipping and billing address. We also use your contact and order information to send you communication related to the processing of your order. We will ask you to provide this information in our “checkout page” before letting you finalize your purchase with the payment.

Accounts

You can sign up for an account if you’d like. This will make us happy because it confirms your interest in our store. It should also make you happy because we will remember your information and, when you decide to buy our products, you do not have to provide all of your information over again -- you just have to log-in. Before registering your account, we will ask you to expressly provide your consent to this privacy policy. Only if you give us your consent, we will open your account. We also afford you the possibility to easily withdraw your consent and delete your account. Just connect with us at the contact details at the bottom of this page if you wish to do so.

Partial Purchases

If you have started to buy one of our products, but have not completed the purchase, you may have provided partial information, such as your email. In that case, we might send you an email to remind you about your interest. If you are not comfortable in receiving further emails of this kind, we will give you a simple opportunity to opt-out. Your privacy means a lot to us and we will stop sending you these communications right away.

Reviews

If you have completed a purchase, we may send you an email to ask you to review the product you bought. We want to be sure that whether you love your purchase or have a complaint, you can share your opinion with other customers.

Personalization

We also use some specific information related to your visit, such as the timestamp of your visit, the page or the product you viewed, where you are coming from (if you came to our store because you clicked on an advertisement or you just opened our direct link). This is very similar to the “essential information,” but we use it to provide you with a personalized experience. The information on your visit provides us with insights on your interests and allows us to send you relevant communications. We capture this information through cookies, called a "beacon," that we allow you to block.

Newsletters

Periodically we may send you a copy of our newsletter via email. We send these to the email address you have listed on your account at idshop.com. We utilize HubSpot to deploy these messages, and you may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in bottom of each email newsletter we send. We want to keep you informed, but don't want to be a bother.

How do we process your information?

We use an external provider to run this ecommerce store, BigCommerce. BigCommerce is based in the US and is a participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and committed to providing best-in-class service and data protection. You can check its participation in the Privacy Shield here on the official site of The International Trade Administration (ITA), U.S. Department of Commerce. Through BigCommerce, we also use other, highly specialized external providers to provide the most competitive services. For example:

● Payment: ​Our store is PCI-DSS compliant (a very strict industry standard with requirements for the security of credit card information), but we want to use accredited companies to process your credit card information. This store currently utilizes Authorize.net to process your online payments.

Shipping: ​We integrate with a number of shipping companies to fulfill your orders. This online store currently utilizes UPS to quote and track your freight charges that are not sent out as flat-rate.

Partnering with highly specialized external companies allows us to focus on what we do best: selling great ID and Lamination products.

How can you control your personal data?

You have specific rights that we are honored to enforce without undue delay: Access, Correct, Erasure, Port, Object. If you cannot exercise your choice on your account page or if you do not have an account with us, please reach out to us, at the contact details at the bottom of this page. We will be more than happy to help. 

How long do we keep your data?

We keep your data for as long as you have an account with us. We also keep some data for security investigation. Most importantly, we have specific obligations for fraud detection and tax reasons. Therefore, we might need to retain certain data even if you ask to delete it. This may include: Orders you have placed, invoices you have paid, and emails you have sent to or received from our team members.

Do we have any legal obligations when handling your data?

Of course. We might need to share your personal information to comply with applicable legal obligations. Examples include:

  • responding to duly authorized information requests of police and governmental authorities;
  • complying with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order;
  • investigating and helping prevent security threats, fraud or other malicious activity;
  • enforcing/protecting the rights and properties of ID Shop, Inc. or its parent Laminex, Inc.; or
  • protecting the rights or personal safety of ID Shop, Inc. or Laminex, Inc. employees 

There are circumstances where ID Shop, Inc. and Laminex, Inc. may decide to buy, sell or reorganize business units. Under these circumstances, it may be necessary to share or receive personal information with prospective or actual partners. In these cases, we will seek to ensure that all data remains protected by a policy of this nature.

Links to external websites and services

This site may contain links to 3rd party websites and services. These links are not endorsements of these sites and this Privacy Policy does not extend to them. Because this Privacy Policy is not enforced on these third party websites we would encourage you to read the privacy policy of the website before using the service or site and providing any personal data.

Social Media

We provide features on our websites that allow you to share and connect through social networks. These features are connecting with the services provided by the social networks and therefore the privacy controls in place are those of the social networks. Before engaging with any of these tools, we would encourage you to be aware of the privacy settings of your social profiles and also to read the privacy policies of the networks in question. These social features will often store information about you and the things that you share or comment upon. 

If you share any of your personal information through a public forum or social network-enabled feature on our site this information could be read by anyone. ID Shop, Inc. nor its parent Laminex, Inc. is therefore not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these forums.

Children's Privacy

ID Shop, Inc. and Laminex, Inc. do not actively seek data from children. We do not expect children to be engaging with our website or services. We encourage parents and guardians to provide adequate protection measures to prevent children from providing information unwillingly on the internet. If we are aware of any data that we have collected from children, we will endeavor to delete it.

Your Data Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (CA residents) with specific rights regarding the handling of their personal data and information. The section below describes your rights under CCPA and explains how to exercise your rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

You have the right to request that Laminex, Inc. (dba idshop.com) disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also known as a data portability request)
  • If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, in two separate lists disclosing (1) sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased, and (2) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained. 
Non-Discrimination
 
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA we will not:
 
  • Deny you access to any good and services we offer
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods and services, including through granting discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties
  • Provide you with a different level or quality of goods and services
  • Suggest that you receive a different price or rate for goods and services or a different level or quality of goods and services
Exercising Access Data Portability and Deletion Rights
 
To exercise the access, deletion data portability and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either method shown below:
 
Call (844) 443-7467
Email: privacy@laminex.com
 
Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
1) Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative of that person.
2) Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly identify, understand, evaluate and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal associates with that specific account. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or their authority to make the request.
