4. Sazzy Cards Sync — Third-Party Accounting Integration
Our Site uses the Sazzy Cards Sync application to integrate with a third-party accounting platform for invoicing, payment recording, and inventory management. This section describes how your data is handled through this integration.
What Data Is Shared:
When you place an order, the following information is transmitted to our accounting platform via a secure, authenticated API connection:
- Your name and email address (to create or match a customer record)
- Your billing and shipping addresses
- Order details: product names, SKUs, quantities, and prices
- Tax amounts and shipping costs
- Payment status (paid/unpaid) and payment method description
- Invoice number (generated with a unique prefix to identify orders from our Site)
How Data Is Transmitted:
- All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS encrypted connections
- Authentication uses the industry-standard OAuth 2.0 protocol
- OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption on our server
- Access tokens are automatically refreshed and old tokens are securely revoked
- No accounting platform credentials are stored in plaintext
How Data Is Stored:
- On our Site, we store only reference IDs (invoice ID, customer ID, payment ID) that link orders to their corresponding records in the accounting platform — we do not duplicate the full accounting data
- Sync logs (which record the success or failure of each sync operation) are stored in our database with personally identifiable information (PII) automatically redacted
- The accounting platform stores data according to its own privacy policy and data retention rules
Purpose Limitation:
Data shared with the accounting platform is used exclusively for:
- Creating and managing invoices for customer orders
- Recording payments against those invoices
- Tracking inventory quantities for our greeting card products
- Processing refunds (as credit memos) when applicable
We do not use the accounting integration for marketing, profiling, advertising, or any purpose other than business accounting and inventory management.
Data Access:
- Only the Site administrator has access to the sync configuration and logs
- The accounting platform connection can be disconnected at any time, which revokes all API access
- No third parties other than the accounting platform receive your data through this integration
5. Other Third-Party Services
In addition to our accounting integration, we share your information with the following trusted third parties, solely as necessary to operate our business:
- Payment Processors: To securely process your credit card or other payment. They are PCI DSS compliant and do not share your payment details with us.
- Shipping Carriers (Purolator, UPS, FedEx): Your name and shipping address are shared to deliver your orders.
- Email Service: Your email address is used to send transactional emails (order confirmations, shipping updates). We do not share your email with third-party marketers.
- Website Hosting: Our hosting provider stores and serves our website. They process data in accordance with their own privacy and security policies.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing or any other purpose.
6. Data Security
We implement the following security measures to protect your personal information:
- All website traffic is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
- HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) is enforced with a one-year duration and preload
- Content Security Policy (CSP) headers restrict the sources of executable content
- OAuth tokens and API secrets are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM with unique encryption keys derived from the server environment
- Payment information is handled exclusively by PCI DSS Level 1 compliant payment processors
- Administrative access requires authenticated login with rate-limited login attempts
- File editing is disabled within the WordPress admin to prevent unauthorized code changes
- XML-RPC endpoints are blocked to prevent brute-force attacks
- Sync operations use atomic locking to prevent duplicate data processing
While we employ industry-standard measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.
7. Cookies
Our website uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Cookies: To maintain your shopping cart session and process checkout
- Preference Cookies: To remember your settings and preferences
- Analytics Cookies: To understand how visitors use our Site (data is anonymized)
