GDPR

1. Introduction  
Welcome to [Marivele Parfums & Beauty] (“we”, “us”, “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable European and national data-protection laws. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website [www.marivele.com], make a purchase, or interact with us in any way.

2. Data Controller  
The company responsible for your personal data is: [Legal company name], Registered office: [Street, Number, City, Postal code, Country], Company ID / VAT ID: [Number], Email: [support@marivele.com], Phone: [Phone number]. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or about how your data is handled, please contact us at [support@marivele.com].

3. Personal Data We Collect  
We collect and process personal data in several ways.  
Data you provide directly: When you make a purchase or register for an account, you provide us with details such as your name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number, and payment information. If you contact us, we may also collect information you include in your messages.  
Data collected automatically: When you browse our website, we automatically receive information about your device, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and browsing activity (for example, which pages you visit and how long you stay). This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies to help us understand usage patterns and improve the experience.  
Data from third parties: We may receive limited information from partners such as payment providers, shipping carriers, or analytics services. For example, payment processors confirm whether a transaction succeeded, and shipping providers share tracking updates.

4. Why We Process Your Data  
We use your personal data for several legitimate purposes: to process and deliver your orders, provide customer service and handle returns, send confirmations and tracking updates, maintain your account, improve our website and services, send marketing emails if you consent, comply with tax and legal obligations, and prevent fraud or misuse. Our processing is based on one or more of the following legal grounds: (a) your consent, (b) the performance of a contract, (c) compliance with legal obligations, or (d) our legitimate interests in improving and protecting our services.

5. Sharing of Personal Data  
We share your data only with trusted partners and service providers who help us operate the business. These include: Shopify Inc. (e-commerce and hosting platform), BigBuy S.L.U. (EU-based fulfillment partner), payment providers such as Shopify Payments, PayPal, or Stripe, shipping carriers such as DHL, DPD, GLS, analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and Klaviyo, and professional advisors such as accountants and legal consultants. Each company only receives the data required for their specific services and operates under GDPR-compliant data processing agreements. We never sell or rent your data to third parties.

6. Data Retention  
We keep your data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Order and transaction records are stored up to 10 years for tax requirements, account data is kept until you request deletion, marketing subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe, and cookies or analytics data follow their set expiration or your preferences. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

7. International Data Transfers  
Some of our providers (for example, Shopify, Google, or Meta) are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including transfers only to countries with EU “adequacy decisions” or using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission. You may request more information about these safeguards by contacting us.

8. Your Rights  
Under the GDPR, you have several important rights regarding your personal data: the right of access to request a copy of your data, the right to rectification to correct inaccuracies, the right to erasure (“to be forgotten”), the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, the right to object to certain uses, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at [support@marivele.com]. We respond within 30 days. You also have the right to file a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority, such as the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov SR) if you live in Slovakia.

9. Data Security  
We use technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including SSL encryption, secure payment processing (PCI-DSS compliant), restricted staff access, and regular security updates. However, no online system is 100% secure. While we take precautions, you use our website at your own risk.

10. Cookies and Tracking  
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to function properly and improve user experience. We use essential cookies to operate the store, analytics cookies to measure performance, and marketing cookies to personalize ads. You can manage or disable cookies anytime in your browser. When you first visit our website, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. For details, see our Cookie Policy.

11. Marketing Communications  
If you subscribe to our newsletter or agree to marketing messages, we use your email to send product news and updates. You can unsubscribe anytime via the link in our emails or by contacting us. We use Klaviyo, a GDPR-compliant email marketing platform, to manage subscriptions and analytics.

12. Children’s Privacy  
Our website is not intended for anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If a child has provided information, please contact us to remove it.
