Maison Maryim is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction through the Services, or otherwise communicate with us.
If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using or accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and the ways in which your information may be collected, used, and disclosed as described below.
Personal Information We Collect or Process
When we use the term "personal information," we mean information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person. Personal information does not include information that is collected anonymously or has been de-identified so that it cannot reasonably identify or be linked to you.

- Contact details including your name, address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.
- Financial and payment information including payment card information, transaction details, payment method, payment confirmation, and other information necessary to process your purchase. Payment information may be collected and processed by Shopify and our payment service providers to securely process transactions. We do not need to directly store your full payment card details when payment is processed through these providers.
- Account information including your username, password, security questions, preferences, and settings.
- Transaction information including products you view, add to your cart, add to your wishlist, purchase, return, exchange, or cancel, as well as your past transactions.

- Usage information including information about how and when you interact with or navigate the Services.
Personal Information Sources
We may collect personal information from the following sources:
- Directly from you, including when you create an account, visit or use the Services, place an order, communicate with us, or otherwise provide information.
- Automatically through the Services, including from your device when you visit our website or use our Services, and through cookies and similar technologies.
- From our service providers, including providers that help us operate technology, payments, analytics, customer support, storage, fulfillment, and shipping.
- From partners or other third parties, where permitted by applicable law.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and Shopify may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, and similar technologies to operate and secure the Services, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use our online store, improve the shopping experience, and, where permitted by applicable law, support analytics, advertising, and personalized marketing.
Some cookies and similar technologies are necessary for the operation, security, and functionality of the store. Other technologies may be used for analytics, personalization, or advertising.
Where consent is required by applicable law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will only be used after the required consent has been provided.
You may manage certain privacy and cookie preferences through the privacy or cookie settings available on our website. You may also adjust your browser settings to control or block cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Services.
Because Shopify hosts and provides technology for our online store, Shopify may also use cookies and similar technologies in connection with providing and improving its services.

Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted and powered by Shopify. Shopify collects and processes personal information relating to your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve its services.
Information submitted through the Services may be transmitted to and processed by Shopify and other service providers, including providers that may be located in countries other than the country where you reside.
Shopify may also process certain information relating to your interactions with our store and other Shopify services in connection with Shopify's own services and enhanced features. Depending on the circumstances, Shopify may act as a processor on our behalf or as an independent controller for certain processing activities.

Third-Party Websites and Links
The Services may contain links to websites or online platforms operated by third parties.
If you follow a link to a website that is not affiliated with or controlled by Maison Maryim, you should review that website's privacy policy, security practices, and terms and conditions.
We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites or services.
Information you provide on public or semi-public platforms, including third-party social networking platforms, may be visible to other users of those platforms and may be used by those platforms according to their own policies.
Children's Data
The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children where prohibited by applicable law.

As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we "sell" or "share" personal information of individuals under 16 years of age, as those terms are defined under applicable law.
Security and Retention of Your Information
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no security measure is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Information sent over the internet may also be subject to risks while in transit.
We recommend that you do not use unsecured channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our Services, process and fulfill orders, maintain business and transaction records, comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements and policies.
The specific retention period depends on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected. When personal information is no longer required, we will delete it or securely dispose of it where required by applicable law.
