Effective Date: July 2024

This Privacy Policy explains how Mary Sharp (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from www.marysharp.com (the “Site”).

3. Cookies and Analytics

Our Site uses cookies to help us understand visitor behaviour and improve the website experience. Cookies do not grant us access to your device or personal data beyond what you choose to share.

4. How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable measures to safeguard your personal information from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. All payments are processed through secure, encrypted gateways.

However, no online platform is 100% secure, and you acknowledge that you share information at your own risk.
