Maura-Lynn Gifting Privacy Policy
Last updated 10/08/2025

This Privacy Policy describes how and when Maura-Lynn Gifting (“I”, “me”, “my”) collects, uses, and shares information when you purchase an item, contact me, or otherwise use my services.

You agree that by purchasing an item from Maura-Lynn Gifting or otherwise interacting with Maura-Lynn Gifting, you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use Maura-Lynn Gifting’s services.

I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If I make changes, I will notify you by revising the date at the top of the page.

I will make every reasonable effort to inform you when I interact with third parties with your information; however, you are solely responsible for reviewing, understanding, and agreeing to or not agreeing to any third-party privacy policies.

Information I Collect

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information, such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information if you contact me directly.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I collect, use, and share your information in several legally permissible ways, including:

  • As needed to provide my services, such as fulfilling your order, settling disputes, or providing customer support.

  • When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time (for example, by signing up for my mailing list or to receive notifications).

  • If necessary to comply with a court order or legal obligation, such as retaining purchase information if required by tax law.

  • As necessary for my own legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Protecting my customers’ personal information is crucially important to my business. I share your personal information only for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

  • With Third-Party Service Providers – I may share your personal information with trusted third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform services for my business.

  • In the Event of a Business Transfer – If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

  • In Compliance with Laws – I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good-faith belief that doing so is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or government requests; (b) meet legal obligations; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers or others.

How Long I Store Your Information

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. I may also be required to retain this information to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. I generally keep your data for five (5) years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. This means your personal information may be transferred to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your own. If I am required to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

Your Rights

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights regarding your personal information. Some of these rights apply generally; certain rights apply only in limited cases. These include:

  • Right to Access – You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you.

  • Right to Change, Restrict, or Delete – You may have the right to request changes to, restrict the use of, or delete your personal information (unless I am required to store it for legal reasons).

  • Right to Object – You may object to my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests or to receiving marketing messages from me. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using it or if it is needed for legal reasons.

  • Right to Complain – If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information, you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
