Michael Verde operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). Michael Verde is powered by Shopify, which acts as our primary data processor to enable these Services. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, make a purchase, or otherwise communicate with us.

We collect and process the following categories of personal information to provide our Services:

  • Contact Details: Full name, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.
  • Financial Information: Payment card numbers, expiration dates, and transaction details. All payments are processed securely via Shopify Payments or our designated gateway providers; we do not store raw credit card details on our servers.
  • Account Information: Customer usernames, encrypted passwords, and secure checkout preferences.
  • Usage & Device Information: IP address, device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, browser type, and detailed interaction data collected automatically via cookies and web beacons.

How We Use Your Personal Information

  • Order Fulfillment: To process secure transactions, organize commercial shipping, provide tracking updates, and facilitate any necessary returns or exchanges.
  • Customer Support: To respond to inquiries, resolve delivery issues, and provide comprehensive service.
  • Security & Fraud Prevention: To screen orders for potential risk or fraudulent activity, maintaining a safe checkout environment.
  • Marketing & Optimization: To analyze how our site is used, improve our product layout, and deliver personalized promotions or advertisements (strictly where explicit marketing consent has been provided).

How We Disclose Personal Information & Third-Party Services

We share your personal information with trusted third-party service providers only as necessary to fulfill our commitments to you. This includes Shopify (our core e-commerce platform), logistics partners (USPS, UPS, FedEx), and secure payment processors.

We also utilize tracking and optimization tools provided by Google, including Google Analytics and Google Ads, to understand customer behavior and measure advertising performance. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal contact details or email addresses to outside marketing brokers under any circumstances.
