Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected when you visit merondell.com, make a purchase, or otherwise communicate with us.
Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with our store, we may collect or process:
- Contact information, including your name, email address, telephone number where provided, billing address, and shipping address.
- Order and transaction information, including order number, products purchased, order value, shipping details, transaction status, returns, and refunds.
- Account information if you choose to create or use a customer account.
- Information you provide when communicating with customer support.
- Device and website-usage information such as browser type, device type, IP address, cookie identifiers, and website interactions.
- Payment-related information required by Shopify and applicable payment providers to authorize and process a transaction.
Merondell™ does not store complete credit or debit card numbers on its own servers.
How Information Is Collected
Personal information may be collected directly from you when you place an order or contact us; automatically through cookies, pixels, logs, and similar technologies; from Shopify, payment providers, shipping carriers, fulfillment partners, and other providers involved in your transaction; and from advertising, analytics, or marketing services where enabled and permitted.
Why We Use Personal Information
- Process, verify, fulfill, and deliver orders.
- Send order confirmations, shipment notices, and tracking information.
- Provide customer service and respond to inquiries.
- Review returns, refunds, disputes, and payment questions.
- Detect and prevent fraud, misuse, and security incidents.
- Maintain, troubleshoot, analyze, and improve our website and shopping experience.
- Personalize content or provide marketing communications where permitted.

Cookies & Similar Technologies
Merondell™ and service providers supporting our store may use cookies, pixels, logs, and similar technologies for website functionality, checkout, shopping-cart operation, user preferences, analytics, security, fraud prevention, and advertising where applicable.
Your browser, device, and available privacy controls may allow you to restrict or remove certain cookies. Disabling cookies necessary for store operation may affect shopping-cart, account, checkout, or other website functionality.
Service Providers & Disclosure
Personal information may be disclosed to service providers where reasonably necessary to operate our store, complete transactions, or provide requested services, including Shopify and e-commerce technology providers, payment processors, banks, shipping carriers, fulfillment partners, customer-service providers, analytics and security providers, advertising providers where permitted, professional advisers, and governmental or law-enforcement authorities where required by law.
We may also disclose information in connection with a business reorganization, merger, financing, acquisition, sale, or transfer, subject to applicable requirements.
Sale, Sharing & Targeted Advertising
We do not rent personal information to unrelated third parties for their independent use.
Depending on technologies enabled on our store, some advertising-related disclosures may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws even when no money is exchanged.
Where applicable, eligible users may exercise available privacy choices through the store’s privacy controls or by contacting us at service@merondell.com.
Shopify
Our online store uses Shopify’s e-commerce infrastructure. Information necessary to operate the store and complete purchases may therefore be processed by Shopify and applicable service providers in accordance with their respective privacy practices and legal obligations.
Data Retention
Personal information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for transactions, order administration, customer support, accounting, taxation, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, enforcement of agreements, and applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it is used, and applicable requirements.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of certain personal information; receive a portable copy of certain information; opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling where applicable; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; appeal certain decisions; and exercise applicable rights without unlawful discrimination.
These rights are subject to applicable exceptions and limitations. We may need to verify your identity and request before taking action.
Submitting a Privacy Request
To submit a privacy-related request, email service@merondell.com with the subject line Privacy Request.
Please describe the request and provide enough information for us to identify the relevant account or transaction. Do not send complete payment-card or banking information by email.
Where permitted, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf. We may request evidence of the agent’s authority and may need to verify your identity directly.
Marketing Communications
If you choose to receive promotional emails, you may unsubscribe using the unsubscribe option included in those communications or by contacting us.
Transactional communications relating to purchases, payments, shipments, returns, refunds, security, or customer-support matters may still be sent where necessary.
Information Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.
No method of online transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers should protect their account credentials and contact us if they suspect unauthorized account or order activity.
Children’s Privacy
Our store is intended for general consumer shopping and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
If you believe a child has improperly provided personal information, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed.
International Processing
Because Merondell™ and its service providers may operate internationally, personal information may be processed or stored in jurisdictions different from the location from which you access the website.
Where required, international processing or transfers will be handled subject to applicable legal requirements and safeguards.
Third-Party Services & Links
Our website may rely on or provide links to third-party websites, platforms, or services. Their collection and handling of information are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by a third-party service before submitting personal information to it.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, business practices, service providers, or applicable requirements change.
The current version will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Where appropriate, we may provide additional notice of material changes.
