Sharing Personal Information
We may share personal information with service providers and other parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide our services, complete transactions, or comply with the law.

Depending on how you interact with us, information may be shared with:

When you make a purchase or use an installment or financing option, your payment information may be processed directly by the applicable payment or financing provider.
For purchases using Affirm or another available payment option, the applicable provider may collect and process information under its own privacy policy and terms. We do not control how an independent payment or financing provider processes information under its own policies.

- Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily stop transactional or service-related communications, such as order confirmations, membership notices, account information, security notices, or other communications necessary to provide a service you requested.
Affiliate and Referral Tracking
If you purchase through an affiliate or referral link, we may receive information needed to determine that the referral occurred and to administer the applicable affiliate or referral relationship.
Affiliate and referral partners may use tracking technologies such as cookies or similar tools to attribute referrals, subject to applicable law and the terms governing the applicable program.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
A cookie is a small amount of information stored on your computer or other device when you visit a website. We and certain third parties may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies when you use our Site.
These technologies may be used to:

Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function, while others help us understand how the Site is used or support advertising, analytics, and referral activities.
Third parties that provide analytics, advertising, payment, affiliate, security, or other services may also use cookies or similar technologies in connection with our Site, subject to their own privacy practices and applicable law.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. Depending on the technologies we use and your location, you may also be presented with additional cookie or privacy choices through the Site.
You may choose to block, delete, or disable certain cookies through your browser or available privacy controls. Doing so may affect the functionality of some portions of the Site.
Where applicable law requires us to obtain consent before using certain non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will provide the required consent mechanism. Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of certain advertising, tracking, sale, or sharing activities, we will provide the required opt-out method.
Our use of cookies and similar technologies may change as our Site, services, advertising, analytics, affiliate programs, and technology change. This Privacy Policy will be updated when changes require an update under applicable law.

- Affiliate and referral cookies: These may be used to identify and attribute referrals and administer affiliate programs.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers and devices provide Do Not Track or similar signals. Because there is not a uniform technical standard for all Do Not Track signals, our Site may not respond to every Do Not Track setting.
Where required by applicable law, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for the purposes required by that law.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information.
These rights may include:
- the right to know whether we process your personal information and to access it;
- the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information;
- the right to request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions;
- the right to obtain a copy of certain personal information in a portable format;
- the right to opt out of certain processing, including targeted advertising or the sale of personal information, where applicable;
- the right to opt out of certain processing of sensitive personal information where applicable;

These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions and limitations. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
How to Submit a Privacy Request
You may submit a privacy request through our website’s Contact page or by email at chat@mashaschwartz.com.
When submitting a request, please provide enough information for us to understand your request and verify that you are the person to whom the information relates. We will not require you to create a new account solely to exercise a privacy right, although we may use an existing account to help verify your identity.
We will respond within the time required by applicable law. If additional time is permitted by law, we may extend the response period and will provide any notice required by law.
Appeals
If we decline to take action on a privacy request where applicable law gives you a right to appeal, you may appeal our decision by contacting us at chat@mashaschwartz.com or through our website’s Contact page.
Your appeal should identify the original request and explain why you believe our decision should be reconsidered.
We will review the appeal and provide our decision within the period required by applicable law. Where required, we will provide a written explanation of our decision.
Personal Information of Children
Our Site and services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Where applicable law establishes a higher age or additional requirements for processing information relating to children, we will follow those requirements.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in violation of applicable law, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
No method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, complete transactions, administer accounts and memberships, maintain business and financial records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce our agreements, and otherwise fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary for these purposes, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.
International Processing
Because we may use service providers and business partners located in different countries, personal information may be processed, stored, or transferred outside the country where you live.
Where applicable law requires specific safeguards for international transfers of personal information, we will use legally recognized mechanisms or other appropriate safeguards.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our Site may contain links to websites, platforms, social media services, payment providers, affiliate websites, or other third-party services.
When you leave our Site or interact directly with a third-party service, that third party’s privacy policy and terms may apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties.
Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money in the ordinary course of operating our business.
However, certain online advertising, analytics, affiliate, or tracking activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under particular privacy laws even when no money is exchanged directly for personal information.
Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of those activities, we will provide the required method for doing so, including recognition of applicable opt-out preference signals.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, services, technology, or legal and regulatory requirements.
When required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
The updated version will be identified by its revised “Last Updated” date.
