How We Share Personal Data
Under certain circumstances, Maison Richefort may share your personal data with third parties for legitimate purposes, as described in this Privacy Policy. Such sharing may occur in the following cases:
-
Service providers and contractors acting on our behalf (e.g., IT management, payment processing, analytics, customer support, cloud storage, order fulfillment, and shipping). These parties are contractually bound to process data only as instructed and in compliance with privacy laws.

Business and marketing partners, including Shopify, for service provision and, where legally permitted, targeted advertising. These partners handle your data in accordance with their own privacy policies and only within the limits of applicable legislation.

With your consent or direction, such as when using social media widgets, login integrations, or requesting that we share data to complete product delivery.
-
Affiliated companies, where necessary for internal business operations and only to the extent permitted by law.
-
Legal and compliance purposes, including business transactions (e.g., mergers, acquisitions), responding to lawful requests (such as subpoenas or court orders), enforcing our Terms, or protecting our services, rights, and users, where required or permitted by law.

User-Generated Content
Our services may allow you to post product reviews or other content in public areas. Please note:
-
Any information you choose to share publicly may be viewed, collected, or used by others, including third parties.
-
We cannot control how third parties use such public information.
-
You are responsible for the information you share.
-
Your statutory privacy rights remain unaffected.
Third-Party Websites and Links
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms. When you follow those links, you are subject to their respective privacy policies and terms. We are not responsible for the content, data practices, or privacy protections of such third-party websites. Please review their privacy notices carefully.
Any information you share publicly on third-party platforms (such as social media) may be visible and used by others. The inclusion of such links does not imply our endorsement unless explicitly stated.
Children’s Data
Our services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.
-
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the minimum age for valid online consent is generally 16.
-
In Australia and New Zealand, local privacy laws set similar minimum age thresholds.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data to us, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
Data Security and Retention
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. These measures include encryption, firewalls, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no system is completely secure, and we advise against sending sensitive information via unsecured channels.
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to operate your account, deliver services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. After legal or operational retention periods expire, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under applicable privacy laws:
-
United Kingdom and Ireland: access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent.

Advertising and Shopify Services
We use advertising services, including Shopify Audiences, to deliver personalized marketing.
-
If you do not want your data used by Shopify merchants for advertising purposes, you may opt out via the Shopify Privacy Tools.
-
You may also opt out of targeted advertising more broadly by adjusting your cookie preferences or exercising your local privacy rights (see above).

International Users and Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred, stored, and processed outside your country of residence, including in countries where our service providers and partners are located.
When personal data is transferred internationally, it may be subject to the laws of the receiving jurisdiction. This means that courts, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities in those countries may access your data under local laws. These laws may differ from those in your home country.
All international transfers are carried out with appropriate safeguards to ensure your personal data remains protected in line with applicable privacy and consumer protection legislation.
