6. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share your information only in the limited circumstances described below.
Service Providers: trusted third-party vendors who help us operate — payment processing (PCI-DSS certified processor such as Stripe or PayPal); website hosting / CMS (WordPress / WooCommerce); transactional email platforms; analytics (Google Analytics 4, aggregated); and logistics partners for shipments outside our direct delivery zone. All are contractually required to handle your data securely and only as instructed, and may not use it for their own marketing.
Business Transfers: if Sub-Zero Dry Ice is acquired, merges, or transfers substantially all its assets, customer information may be part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Legal Requirements: we may disclose information when required by law, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sub-Zero Dry Ice, our customers, or the public, or to investigate violations of our Terms.
With Your Consent: we may share information for other purposes with your explicit, prior consent.
7. Payment Processing
When you purchase through our online store or Payment Portal, payment card information is transmitted directly to and processed by our payment processor(s). Sub-Zero Dry Ice does not receive, store, or transmit full credit or debit card numbers. Payment card data is handled exclusively by our processor(s) in compliance with PCI-DSS requirements.
We retain only non-sensitive transaction data — order amount, last 4 digits of card, transaction ID — for accounting and dispute resolution. For commercial accounts on Net terms, billing records are maintained for the duration of the business relationship plus the period required by US tax law (generally 7 years).
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to support site functionality, analyze traffic, and improve your experience.
Strictly Necessary Cookies — essential for core functions (shopping cart sessions, login sessions, security tokens). You cannot opt out without disabling core functionality.

Functional Cookies — remember your preferences to improve return visits. Marketing / Preference Cookies — used only with your consent for relevant offers (retargeting); opt-in only.
You may control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect functionality. We do not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals, as there is no universally accepted standard.
