5. Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 17, 2026

MerryDoodle operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). MerryDoodle is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction using the Services or otherwise communicate with us.

Personal Information We Collect or Process

We may collect or process categories of personal information including: contact details (name, address, phone, email), financial information (payment card and transaction details), account information, transaction information, communications with us (including any photos you send us), device information, and usage information.

Personal Information Sources

We may collect personal information directly from you, automatically through the Services, from our service providers, and from our partners or other third parties.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use personal information to provide, tailor and improve the Services; for marketing and advertising; for security and fraud prevention; to communicate with you; and to comply with legal obligations.

Where required by law (for example, in the EU/UK), we rely on an appropriate legal basis for each purpose: performance of the contract with you (order processing and delivery), our legitimate interests (fraud prevention, service improvement), your consent (marketing communications and non-essential cookies), and compliance with legal obligations.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to Shopify and other vendors performing services on our behalf, to business and marketing partners, when you direct or consent to such disclosure, with our affiliates, and in connection with business transactions or legal obligations.

Relationship with Shopify

The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services. To learn more about how Shopify uses your personal information, you can visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy.

Third Party Websites and Links

The Services may provide links to third-party websites. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites.

Children's Data

Although our products may be enjoyed by families and children, the Services are intended for use by adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (including children under 13 as defined by the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it. If you send us photos or reviews, please avoid including images or details that identify a child unless you are their parent or guardian and consent to their use.

Security and Retention of Your Information

No security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We retain personal information as long as needed to maintain your account, provide Services, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, or port your personal information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your information for targeted advertising. If you reside in the UK or EEA, you may also have rights to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know, delete, correct and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hellomerrydoodle@outlook.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

Complaints

If you have complaints about how we process your personal information, please contact us. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

International Transfers

We may transfer, store and process your personal information outside the country you live in, relying on recognized transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised Privacy Policy on this website and update the "Last updated" date.
