Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted on Shopify, which collects and processes personal information regarding your access to and use of our platform in order to provide and improve the Services. Information you submit is transmitted to and stored on Shopify’s global servers.
To help protect and improve our storefront, we use enhanced Shopify features that incorporate data from your interactions across our store, other merchants, and Shopify. In these instances, Shopify acts as an independent data controller. To review how Shopify handles your data and to exercise your rights, please visit the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and the Shopify Privacy Portal.
Third-Party Websites and Links
Our website may provide links to external websites or third-party platforms. If you follow links to non-affiliated sites, you should review their separate privacy and security policies. Maison Vertis does not guarantee and is not responsible for the privacy, security, or accuracy of information on external platforms.
Children’s Data
The Services are not intended for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately to request deletion. We do not knowingly "sell" or "share" the personal data of individuals under 16 years of age.
Security and Retention of Your Information
While we apply rigorous commercial security measures, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be 100% impenetrable. We advise against sending sensitive payment credentials through unsecured channels.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, manage your account, comply with statutory tax and accounting requirements, and resolve legal disputes.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may hold specific statutory rights regarding your personal information:
- Right to Access / Know: Request access to the personal data we maintain about you.
- Right to Delete: Request the erasure or deletion of your personal information.
- Right to Correct: Request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal records.
- Right of Portability: Request a copy of your personal data in a portable, machine-readable format.
- Managing Communication Preferences: You may opt out of promotional emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our dispatches. Non-promotional order and transaction updates will continue to be sent.
To exercise these rights, please contact our team at hello@maisonvertis.com. We will verify your identity before processing any statutory data requests. Authorised agents acting on your behalf must provide formal written verification.
Complaints & International Transfers
Your personal information may be stored, processed, and transferred outside your country of residence. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on established transfer frameworks such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses unless the recipient jurisdiction has been granted an adequacy decision.
If you have concerns about our data practices, please contact us directly. You also have the right to lodge a formal complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
