We do not intend to provide personal information to an AI or automation provider unless the information is reasonably necessary for a legitimate business purpose, service operation, customer support function, automation, security function, or other permitted purpose.

Where a third-party AI or automation provider processes personal information on our behalf, the processing is subject to the applicable contractual arrangements, security measures, and privacy terms governing that provider.

Because our AI and automation workflows may change over time, the specific providers and information processed may also change.

We will update this Privacy Policy when material changes to our privacy practices require an update.

20. ADVERTISING, SALE, SHARING, AND TARGETED ADVERTISING

Certain privacy laws define terms such as "sale," "sharing," and "targeted advertising" differently.

MARO STUDIO does not use these legal terms merely as labels for ordinary business disclosures.

However, our use of advertising technologies, including Meta Pixel, Meta Conversions API, Meta Ads, retargeting technologies, analytics tools, cookies, pixels, and similar technologies may constitute targeted advertising or another regulated disclosure depending on the applicable law and the specific configuration of those technologies.

Where applicable law provides consumers with the right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information, we will provide the applicable mechanisms required by that law.


21. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident and the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), applies to MARO STUDIO and your personal information, you may have certain rights.

These rights are subject to applicable exceptions, limitations, verification requirements, and other requirements under California law.

info@marostudiony.com

Your request should identify:

• your name;
• email address associated with your interaction with MARO STUDIO;
• the nature of your request; and
• any additional information reasonably necessary to process and verify the request.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests in order to protect personal information and prevent unauthorized access.

We will process requests within the timeframes and according to the procedures required by applicable law.

If additional time is legally permitted and reasonably necessary, we may notify you of the applicable extension.


24. AUTHORIZED AGENTS

Where permitted by applicable law, you may authorize another person to submit a privacy request on your behalf.

We may require documentation demonstrating that the agent has authority to act on your behalf and may independently verify your identity as permitted or required by applicable law.


25. APPEAL RIGHTS

If applicable law gives you a right to appeal our decision concerning a privacy request, you may submit an appeal by contacting:

info@marostudiony.com

Please include sufficient information for us to identify the original request and understand why you believe the decision should be reconsidered.


26. GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL AND PRIVACY PREFERENCE SIGNALS

MARO STUDIO currently uses Shopify's customer privacy and consent functionality.

At the time this Privacy Policy was published, MARO STUDIO does not represent that it has implemented a separate technical mechanism to recognize or respond to Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals.

Where applicable law requires MARO STUDIO to recognize a legally valid universal opt-out mechanism or privacy preference signal, we will implement and honor the mechanism as required by applicable law.

Our privacy practices and technical configuration may be updated as applicable legal requirements and Shopify functionality evolve.


27. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• processing and fulfilling orders;
• providing customer service;
• maintaining business records;
• accounting and tax purposes;
• fraud prevention;
• security;
• resolving disputes;
• enforcing agreements;
• complying with legal obligations; and
• other legitimate business purposes.

The appropriate retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, aggregate, or otherwise dispose of it, subject to applicable legal, accounting, security, backup, dispute-resolution, and other requirements.

We do not currently promise a single fixed retention period for all categories of personal information because different information may require different retention periods.


28. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction.

These measures may include controls provided by Shopify and our technology providers, access controls, authentication, security monitoring, and other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the services we use.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.


29. DATA BREACHES AND SECURITY INCIDENTS

If MARO STUDIO becomes aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will assess the incident and take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances.

Where notification is legally required, we will provide notice in accordance with applicable federal, state, or Puerto Rico law.


30. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our website and products are not directed toward children.

MARO STUDIO does not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental consent is legally required.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact:

info@marostudiony.com


31. DO NOT TRACK

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting such signals, our website may not respond to all browser-based Do Not Track signals.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a particular privacy preference signal, we will process that signal according to the applicable law and our technical capabilities.


32. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, social media platforms, payment services, or other services.

Examples may include:

• Facebook;
• Instagram;
• WhatsApp;
• payment providers;
• advertising platforms;
• Shopify services; and
• other third-party services.

When you interact with a third-party service, that service may collect information according to its own privacy policy and terms.

MARO STUDIO does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.

We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information directly to them.


33. SOCIAL MEDIA

MARO STUDIO maintains and uses social media accounts and advertising tools, including Facebook and Instagram.

Interactions with our social media content may allow the applicable platform to collect information according to its own privacy practices.

Information you voluntarily submit through social media may also be visible to us and, depending on your settings, to other users.


34. BUSINESS TRANSFERS

If MARO STUDIO is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

Where legally required, we will provide notice regarding material changes to how personal information is handled.


35. LEGAL AND REGULATORY DISCLOSURES

We may disclose personal information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• comply with applicable law;
• respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process;
• cooperate with government authorities;
• protect our rights or property;
• enforce our agreements;

37. INFORMATION ABOUT SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

MARO STUDIO does not intentionally request sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, health information, biometric identifiers, racial or ethnic information, religious information, or similar sensitive information for ordinary ecommerce purchases.

You should not provide such information through product reviews, customer service communications, forms, or other channels unless specifically requested for a lawful and necessary purpose.

If you voluntarily provide sensitive information, we will handle it in accordance with applicable law.


38. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
