We collect personal data to process your orders, manage subscriptions, and offer visitor services on our website. The personal data we collect may include:
We collect information directly from you via our website, email communications, or support services, and automatically when you browse our website.
Our website uses cookies to collect certain data. Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow us to analyse website traffic and improve the user experience.

We collect your data to support your orders and enhance the experience with our services. The ways we use your data include:
Under the GDPR, we process your personal data based only on legal grounds which include:
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties, except in the following cases:
We engage trusted third-party providers to help us perform our tasks, including:
All third-parties with whom we share your data are bound by contractual agreements ensuring that your data is managed in accordance with GDPR standards. Your payment information is never stored by us and is securely processed through our third-party providers.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or if it is necessary to enforce our Terms & Conditions or other user agreements.
As part of providing you with our services, the information you supply to us may be transferred to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). This may happen if our third-party providers are located in countries that do not have GDPR-level protection.
Whenever such transfers occur, we ensure that your data is protected via contractual arrangements or international frameworks like the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (now invalid) or using other legal mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
We only retain your personal data as long as necessary for the purposes specified in this notice. Specifically:
After this period, your data is securely deleted or anonymized in a non-identifiable manner.
Under the GDPR, you have various rights concerning your data. These rights include:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at shop@stevemarais.com. We will respond to your request within one month as per GDPR guidelines.
We take the security of your personal data seriously, implementing various technological and administrative safeguards to ensure your data is protected from loss, theft, and unauthorized access.
Our website incorporates encryption (SSL certificates) to secure communications. We also enforce strict access controls within our team and ensure that any third-party processing is done through GDPR-compliant providers.
While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
In the unlikely event of a data breach, as per GDPR requirements:
Occasionally, our website may link to third-party sites for additional content or services (for example, external payment services). These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review before sharing any personal data with them. We are not responsible for the content or data processing practices of these external sites.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to comply with legal or business changes. Any significant amendments will be posted on this page, and we will notify you directly if they affect your rights.
