Who we are
We are TWOSAB LTD, A Marine and Industrial Selling business based and operating in the UK.
Payment
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete a purchase or pay an invoice, Stripe stores your credit or debit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
Third Party Services
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and process your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
However, certain third-party service providers, such as Marketplaces (Amazon and Ebay), payment gateways, email marketing systems, other payment transaction processors (PayPal), RoyalMail and Parcel delivery companies have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
