Privacy Policy

Marias Handbag ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit our website or make a purchase.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us. This may include:

• Personal Identifiers: Name, email address, phone number, billing/shipping address.
• Payment Information: Credit card details (processed securely via third-party payment gateways; we do not store full card numbers).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Processing and fulfilling your orders (including shipping and payment confirmation).
• Sending order updates, receipts, and customer service communications.
• Personalizing your shopping experience and recommending products.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies help us remember your preferences, analyze site traffic, and personalize content. You can control cookies through your browser settings; however, disabling them may affect certain website features. We also use Google Analytics to understand user behavior — Google’s privacy policy applies to that data.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data with trusted third parties only as necessary:

• Service Providers: Payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), shipping carriers (UPS, USPS), email marketing platforms (Klaviyo), and IT support.
• Legal Compliance: When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption, firewalls, and restricted access to personal data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to protect your account credentials and contact us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized activity.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., California residents under CCPA, EU residents under GDPR), you may have the following rights:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal exceptions.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external sites (e.g., social media, payment gateways). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their policies.
