The privacy policy below describes in detail the types of personal information that is collected and recorded by www.mariamarlowe.com (“SITE”) and how we use it. Your Consent to this Privacy Policy By using SITE, you consent to the terms of this privacy policy. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance This SITE is in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), COMPANY doesn’t knowingly collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. SITE, products, and services are all directed to people who are 13 years of age and older. What information does this SITE collect? COMPANY only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so, either by providing their information to sign up for our free email newsletter or purchasing one of our products. The information collected includes name and email address, and is provided to us by you. We may collect and store information that you voluntarily provide to us. We never share or sell your contact information. In general, you can visit SITE without identifying who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Information collected online can generally be categorized as anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information is information that cannot be connected to the identity of a specific individual. Personally identifiable information is information that specifically identifies a particular user, such as name, address (email or physical), or phone number. An example of anonymous information is the fact that, while SITE may record the number of visits to a particular page that occur in a given period of time, it does not necessarily provide the names or other identifying information of every visitor. Many users of this SITE choose not to provide any personally identifiable information; therefore, those individuals are anonymous to this SITE, and any data collected about their use of this website is anonymous information. When you order any of our products, COMPANY needs to know your name, e-mail address, and payment information. This allows COMPANY to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. Additionally, you can voluntarily provide your name and email address when signing up for our email list.

Here is what the SITE records: Environmental variables: browser type, operating system and CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your originating Internet Service Provider, are logged. Search requests and results are recorded to try to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of our search engine. Your IP (internet protocol) address tracks your use of the SITE, including pages visited and time spent on each page. All of the information that is automatically submitted to us by your browser is considered anonymous information. To the extent we share such information with third parties, it is not traceable to any particular user and will not be used to contact you. What are cookies, and how they are used? This SITE does not use cookies. Cookies are small data files, typically made up of a string of text and numbers, that assign you a unique identifier, and help website owners provide a more personalized experience for you.
