Therefore, the visitor/user must carefully read the contents of this page before using the services of our website. If they do not agree, they must leave the website and NOT make any use of its services or content. 

This privacy policy may be amended from time to time in accordance with legislation or developments in the industry. We will not explicitly notify our customers or website users of these changes.

Continued use of the website https://maevajeans.com even after any changes to the Privacy Policy constitutes your unconditional acceptance of these terms. 

Protection of Personal Data 

We collect and process your personal data only when it is absolutely necessary. We will never sell, rent, distribute, or disclose your personal data in any way. If you are under the age of 16, you MUST have the consent of your parents before using the services of this website. 

Relevant Legislation 

In addition to our company’s internal information systems, this website has been designed to comply, with regard to the protection of users’ personal data, with the following laws/regulations: 

• EU Data Protection Directive of 1995 (DPD) 

• EU General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR)  

Personal Information This Website Collects and Why We Collect It 

This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons: 

Website Traffic Monitoring 

Like most websites, this one uses Google Analytics (GA) to monitor user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to track their journey through the website. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you; however, Google does not grant us access to this information. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor that complies with the requirements of European legislation. 

Contact Forms and Email Links 

If you choose to contact us using a contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be stored on this website or transferred to, or processed by, any third-party data processor, as defined below in the section “Our Third-Party Data Processors.” Instead, this data will be sent to us in an email message via the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by the TLS security protocol (sometimes referred to as SSL), meaning that the email content is encrypted before being transmitted over the internet. The email content is decrypted by our local computers and devices. 

Email Newsletter 

If you choose to subscribe to our email newsletter, the email address you submit will be forwarded to Shopify Newsletter, which provides us with email marketing services. Shopify Newsletter is a third-party data processor (see the section “Our Third-Party Data Processors” below). The email address you submit will not be stored in the website’s database or in any of our company’s internal information systems. Your email address will remain in the database of Shopify Newsletter for as long as we continue to use its services for our email marketing or until you explicitly request its removal from the list. You may do so by using the unsubscribe link included in all the email newsletters we send you. As long as your email address remains in the database of Shopify Newsletter, you will periodically receive email marketing messages from us. 

 

 About Cookies 

What Is a Cookie? 

The term “cookie” refers to a small data file consisting exclusively of a series of information in text form, which a website transfers to the web browser located on your computer’s hard drive, either temporarily for the duration of your visit or, in some cases, for longer periods, depending on the type of cookie. Cookies perform various functions (for example, distinguishing you from other visitors to the same website or remembering certain information about you, such as your preferences) and are used by most websites to improve your user experience. 

Each cookie is unique to your browser and contains certain anonymous information. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain from which the cookie originated, the cookie’s “lifetime,” and a value (usually in the form of a randomly generated unique number).
