Furthermore, from time to time MERSOLEIL may employ third party business partners to collect personal information on MERSOLEIL’s behalf.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT FROM YOU AND HOW?
MERSOLEIL collects personal information in several ways when you place an order, buy a gift voucher for a friend or register for a service offered by MERSOLEIL. If an order is placed with us, we need to hold personal information including your name, email address, phone numbers, home address, shipping and credit card billing address(es) so that we can process and fulfil your order. You may also choose to store your credit card details with us. This will only be done with your consent. Saved card details will never be shared with third parties and will only be used to process your order, using our payment partner’s systems. Additionally we may also obtain information as a result of authentication or identity checks. Sometimes we may ask for your telephone number. This number may be given to our courier for delivery services. These details allow us to process your order and to let you know the status of your order.
OTHER INFORMATION WE COLLECT THROUGH OUR SERVICES
As a user of our services, we may collect non-personal data about your use of the website, such as pages visited, times and volume of use of the services as well as Traffic Data. Traffic Data includes logs, details of networks, time of log-on or access, length of sessions and similar systems data.
WHAT ABOUT COOKIES?
Our site uses cookies to keep track of how often you visit our site, the contents of your shopping cart, previous purchases and to deliver content specific to your interests. (A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive by your web browser which tracks your movements within websites.) Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies but usually you can alter the settings of your browser to prevent automatic acceptance. If you choose not to receive cookies, you may still use most of the features of our website, including the ability to purchase items. However, this may prevent us from delivering certain services, particularly personalization of the site.
HOW THIS INFORMATION MAY BE USED, INCLUDING ANYONE IT MIGHT BE SHARED WITH
MERSOLEIL may use your personal information for the processing of orders, payments and to provide you with a personalized shopping experience. We will also use your details to fulfill and deliver your orders and manage your account. Your personal information may also be checked with credit card verification agencies to prevent fraud and may be shared with other companies in the MERSOLEIL Group. Where there is a legal obligation to do so, we may disclose your information to any relevant regulatory body.
When you register with MERSOLEIL, you will be offered the opportunity to opt out of our email newsletter and other update services. The information you provide will allow us to alert you to new products, features and enhancements; special offers; upgrade opportunities; contests and events of interest, and may be shared with other companies within the MERSOLEIL Group. No personal data is ever shared with third parties for marketing purposes. From time to time we send offers to selected groups of MERSOLEIL customers on behalf of other businesses; in such instances no personal data is passed to those businesses. We do collate statistical information about site traffic, sales and other commercial information which we may pass on to trusted third parties but these statistics do not include any information which can identify you personally. We see this as a value-added service helping you to find useful products or services. We strive to limit use of your information to those offers that we think you would appreciate receiving. Finally, we may use your personal information for our internal marketing and demographic studies, together with non-personal data to monitor customer patterns so we can consistently improve our site design to better meet our visitors’ needs. If we change our policy on disclosure to others, we will inform you and give you the choice of opting out.
OPT-IN AND OPT-OUT PROVISION
When you register, we will provide a link to the Privacy Policy and the opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal data for marketing purposes.
At all times, we will offer you the opportunity to opt-out of any service to which you have subscribed. Any email we send you will contain an easy automated opt-out link so that you can opt-out of that particular mailshot. Simply follow the indications in the email. In particular, you can opt-out from having your personally identifiable information shared with our business partners or MERSOLEIL’s subsidiaries (except as required by law, court order, or as requested by other government or law enforcement authority or as may be required to deliver your purchases). It is not the Company’s current policy to share its customers’ personal details with third parties other than as stated herein.
Should you choose to have your name and personal data removed from our database all together, you can do so by sending an email to contactus@MERSOLEIL.com or by writing to us at:
