Personal data is such that identifies you, for example; your name, home address, email address. We only collect this information when you volunteer it either via registering for MARCELLO RICCIO user credentials to our website, email or verbal converse regarding orders, newsletter or when making payment online.

We will use your personal data if you have agreed to receive emails when registering for purposes of individual care, company highlights and offers, for general communication. We will not sell your personal data to third parties.

To fulfil your order, you must provide certain information such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide additional personal information (for a custom order of jewellery, for example), if you contact us directly.

We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

  • as needed to provide services, such as when we use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
  • when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for our mailing list;
  • if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
  • as necessary for the purpose of legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services.
