Overview of U.S. Privacy System
The U.S. does not have a single comprehensive federal privacy law like Japan’s APPI or the EU’s GDPR. Protection is provided through FTC consumer-protection enforcement, state-level data-breach notification laws, and sectoral laws such as GLBA and HIPAA. Organizations protect personal data through contracts, internal policies, and technical and organizational measures.
Our Legal Basis & Recipient Safeguards
•Consent-based transfer: By using the site and completing payment, you consent to the transfers above
•Technical & organizational measures: Encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, authentication, audit logs, vulnerability management
•Card data: We do not store raw card numbers. Card data is processed in Stripe’s secure environment
