Privacy

ARTICLE 1 – PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED

When you make a purchase from our store, as part of our buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address and email address.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which gives us more information about the browser and operating system you use.

Email marketing (where applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.

ARTICLE 2 – CONSENT

How do you obtain my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange a delivery or return a purchase, we assume that you consent to our collecting and using that information for that specific purpose only.

If we ask for your personal information for another purpose, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your explicit consent or give you the opportunity to decline.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If, after giving your consent, you change your mind and no longer consent to our contacting you, collecting your information or disclosing it, you may notify us by emailing contact@mariestarek.com or writing to: Marie Starek Joaillerie - 55 rue de Béthune, Lille, 59800 - France.

ARTICLE 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

ARTICLE 4 – SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted by Shopify Inc. They provide the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our services and products to you.

Your data is stored through Shopify's data storage system, databases and general application. Your data is held on a secure server protected by a firewall.

Payment:

If you complete your purchase through a direct payment gateway, Shopify will store your credit card information. This information is encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Information relating to your purchase transaction is retained only as long as necessary to complete your order. Once your order is complete, the purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways comply with PCI-DSS, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint initiative of companies including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure that credit card information is handled securely by our store and its service providers.

For more information, please consult Shopify's Terms of Service here or Privacy Policy here.

ARTICLE 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase transactions.

We recommend that you read these providers' privacy policies carefully so that you understand how they will handle your personal information.

Please remember that certain providers may be located, or have facilities located, in a different jurisdiction from yours or ours. If you choose to proceed with a transaction that requires the services of a third-party provider, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that provider or its facilities are located.

For example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, the information used to complete the transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store's website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website's Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use.

ARTICLE 6 – SECURITY

If you provide us with your credit card information, it will be encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
