5. How We Share Personal Information

Mepiie may share your personal data among its affiliates and subsidiaries. Mepiie may share your personal information with other companies for the following purposes:

  • With service providers who perform a variety of services and functions for Mepiie, such as data storage, order fulfillment, payment processing, and marketing services. Your information will only be shared on the condition that the service providers use your information only to fulfill the agreed services on our behalf.

  • With other users of the Services, such as merchants and consumers. For example, merchant information is shared with potential customers, and customer reviews (including associated photos and videos) of merchants are shared with other potential customers and merchants. To fulfill orders, information such as shipping address, phone number, and customs information is shared with merchants or their service providers. Additionally, certain user profile information, including your name, photo, location, items on your cart, and the list of people you follow or that follow you may be displayed to other users.

  • In the event we go through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, bankruptcy, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of Mepiie's assets.

  • With our online advertising partners, such as Meta and Google, for the purpose of advertising to you.

  • With law enforcement or governmental agencies to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.

  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Mepiie, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Mepiie may also reveal your personal information to unrelated third parties for their independent use if: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) the information is provided to comply with the law; or (3) the information is provided to protect Mepiie's rights or safety, or the rights or safety of Mepiie employees or others.

 

6. Third-Party Plugins & Links to Third-Party Websites

The Services may contain links to external websites. The Services interface with social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and others. A link to such sites does not imply endorsement by Mepiie of such sites. This Privacy Notice does not apply to those external websites, and you should review the privacy policies of these external sites.

 

Services may also offer you the ability to interact with plug-ins from social media sites and others, which may allow us or the social media site to receive data from or about you. If you have previously provided personal information to a third party operating a plug-in on the Services, then that third party may recognize you on the Services. Your use of social network plug-ins is subject to the privacy policy of the company that operates the plug-in, which may be different from ours, so please read these policies carefully to understand their policies and your options.

 

7. Cookies & Related Technologies

Cookies are text files stored on your web browser and are used by Mepiie to remember you for various purposes. Additionally, we use related tracking technologies, such as web beacons, local shared objects, and tracking pixels.

 

You may also alter your browser settings to block cookies. Browsers are different, so refer to instructions related to your browser to learn about cookie-related and other privacy and security settings that may be available. For mobile devices, you may have additional options provided by your operating system to limit tracking. Read the NAI guide to mobile device options for more information on ad preferences. Please read your operating system's instructions for guidance or updates, as the steps to take on your device may differ from these steps:

  • For iOS 14.5 or higher: Go to your Settings > Select Privacy & Security > Select Tracking > Disable the "Allow Apps to Request to Track" setting

  • For Android devices with OS 12 or higher and Google Play Services version 4.0 or higher: Open your Settings > Google > Ads > Personalize using Shared Data and turn off

 

8. Legal Basis for Processing

Mepiie will only process your personal data when allowed by law; that is, we will only process your personal data when we have a legal basis for processing. For the purposes of European data protection law, we process personal data when one of the following legal bases applies:

  • Performance of a Contract: Where necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, such as processing a payment and fulfilling an order.

  • Legal or Regulatory Obligation: Where necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

  • Legitimate Interests: Where necessary for our interests, provided that your fundamental rights do not override such interests. We consider and balance the potential impact on you and your rights (both positive and negative) before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests.

  • Consent: Where you have provided your consent for processing your personal data. Where Mepiie relies on your consent as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

 

9. Purpose Limitation

Mepiie will only process personal information in a way that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or authorized by you, or as we notify you if the purposes change. You have the right to object to or request that we restrict the processing of your personal data for such additional purposes.

 

10. Data Security

Mepiie will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is accurate, complete, current, secure, and reliable for its intended uses. We employ procedural and technological security measures that are designed to protect your personal information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

 

11. Data Retention

Mepiie will retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes or as required by law. Personal information will be kept until it is no longer necessary to provide our products and services, to fulfill our contractual agreements with you, to comply with applicable law, to protect Mepiie's rights and interests (e.g., where the retention is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims), or as otherwise needed for the purposes for which it was collected or processed. We specify the retention periods for your personal data in our data retention policy.

 

12. Data Transfers

At times, personal data may be transferred to service providers or systems in countries that may not offer a level of data protection equivalent to that in your country, including the United States. Where such transfers occur, Mepiie complies with the cross-border data transfer and export control laws of the countries in which it operates.

 

13. Your Privacy Rights

Some privacy laws provide certain privacy and data protection rights for individuals. You may have the following rights, in accordance with applicable laws and subject to necessary validation of your identity and your location:

  • Request to access or obtain a copy of your personal data being processed.

  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data relating to you.

  • Object to Mepiie's processing of your personal data. Please note that we may continue to process your personal data, even if you have objected to the processing, if we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which overrides your privacy interests.

  • Request the deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data.

  • Request the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve months, the categories of sources of such information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting or disclosing your information, and the categories of third parties with which we shared your personal information.

  • Request a list of third parties that have received your information for direct marketing purposes during the previous calendar year.

  • Lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority if you have concerns about our practices regarding the processing of personal data.

To exercise your rights, please send an email to info@mepiie.com with the details of your request.

 

14. Your Marketing Choices

You can limit the information you provide to Mepiie, and you can limit the communications that Mepiie sends to you.

  • Marketing Emails: You may choose not to receive marketing emails from us by following the instructions contained in any of the marketing emails we send or by changing your account settings. Please note that even if you unsubscribe from marketing email messages, we may still send you non-marketing emails.

  • Cookies: Please refer to our Cookie Policy for information about your choices regarding the cookies on our websites.

  • Mobile Promotional Offers: If you no longer wish to receive mobile alerts from Mepiie via SMS text, you can follow the instructions provided in those messages or otherwise reply STOP to any alert we send.

  • Push Notifications: If you prefer not to receive push notifications, you may adjust your settings on your mobile device to control whether you receive these alerts.

  • Do Not Track: Currently, Mepiie does not respond to Do Not Track ("DNT") signals. All About Do Not Track, a Future of Privacy Forum website, has more information about DNT signals and is located at: https://allaboutdnt.com/.

  • Global Privacy Control: Mepiie does respond to Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals. For more information, read the GPC website at https://globalprivacycontrol.org.

 

15. Merchants

The Merchant Terms of Service and Agreement governs Mepiie's relationship with merchants. If there is any conflict between the terms of that Agreement and this Privacy Notice, the Agreement controls. Moreover, most merchants are corporate legal entities and are not individuals or natural persons. If you are not a natural person, this Privacy Notice does not apply to you. However, if you are a merchant and a natural person, the representations in this Privacy Notice apply to you, subject to the Agreement and various legal exceptions based on your residency.

 

16. Privacy Notice Changes and Update

This Privacy Notice may be amended at any time. If material changes are made in how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, or otherwise processed, this Privacy Notice will be updated, including the "Effective Date" at the bottom of this Privacy Notice. Any changes will be effective when we post the updated Privacy Notice.
