privacy policy
protecting your data with care, clarity, and full transparency
protecting and being mindful of the privacy and safety of your data is very important to us. this policy outlines what we collect about you, how we use it, how we share and manage it, and the choices you have. please read it carefully.
this privacy policy applies to information gathered through myrahpenaloza.com. it does not apply to information collected offline or through other means, unless that data forms part of a filing system. by continuing to use our site, you accept this policy as currently posted. we will notify you of any significant changes by updating the effective date above.
what we collect & why
we collect your data in several ways — when you choose to share it with us and when you shop our online channels. we always ask for the minimum data needed to complete what you've requested, and we will clearly explain why we need it before collecting it.
- IP address
- browser type
- operating system
- how you browse or interact with our site
how we protect your data
we implement a range of security measures to protect your personal information when you place an order or access your account. all sensitive and payment information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and encrypted in our payment gateway's database, accessible only by authorised personnel.
within our organisation, we limit access to your data as much as possible — only those who need it to serve you can see it.
when you create an account, please choose a strong, unique password and do not share it with others. we will never ask you for your password. if anyone contacts you claiming to be us and asks for your password, do not share it — it is not us.
outside parties & advertising
we do not sell, trade, or transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. we may share it only with trusted third parties who assist in operating our website or servicing you, provided they agree to keep your information confidential.
we may be required to release your information when required by law, to enforce our site policies, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves or others.
your rights
you have meaningful rights over your personal data. here is what you can ask us to do at any time:
cookies
yes, we use cookies — small files stored on your device that help our site recognise your browser and remember certain information. we use them to:
- remember and process the items in your shopping cart
- understand and save your preferences for future visits
- compile aggregate data about site traffic and interactions to improve your experience
we may work with trusted third-party service providers to help us understand how visitors use our site. these providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf for any purpose other than helping us improve our business.
if you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to refuse them. note that some parts of our site may not function as intended without cookies enabled.
children's privacy
our site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 for EU users), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these age limits.
we screen users who wish to provide personal information to prevent collection from underage individuals. if we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from an underage user, we will promptly delete it from our records.
we do not knowingly allow underage users to publicly post personally identifiable contact information, nor do we knowingly distribute such information to third parties. participation in our site's activities is never conditioned on underage users providing personal information.
governing law & changes
myrahpenaloza.com reserves the right to update this policy at any time. we will post changes here and update the effective date. your continued use of our site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. information collected prior to any change will be handled according to the rules in effect at the time of collection.
this policy is governed by the principles of PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). if a dispute arises, we agree to first seek resolution through a mutually agreed-upon mediator. any associated mediation costs (excluding attorney fees) will be shared equally.
this statement does not create any contractual or other legal rights on behalf of any party. myrahpenaloza.com is operated by Myrah Collection LLC.
this privacy policy applies only to information collected through our website, and not to information collected offline, unless that information forms part of a digital filing system.
