When you visit our website, the servers automatically collect and store information from your browser. This information may include your IP address, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), website request, log-in or access dates and times, the referring website address or page, and the content of any undeleted cookies your browser previously accepted from our website, cookies that may uniquely identify your browser, platform type and a number of mouse clicks.

Cookies

Like most websites, we may assign your computer one or more cookies. Cookies are very small files with strings of characters that are placed on your computer and uniquely identify your browser. Cookies can help measure the traffic and general details of visitors to our website such as the searches you conduct and the links you click. Collecting these statistics, our website can make visitors’ experience better (e.g. which pages they visit and when, where they are approximately located, where does a user land first or if they are coming from a specific referral). As a website using analytics tools, we are using cookies to collect data like visitors’ device type, approximate geographic location, browser, OS, IPs, page visits, bounce rate, and popular content on the website. All this data is pseudonymized and we will never use the collected data to identify individual users or to match it with additional information on an individual user. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your setting to reject cookies. Users who refuse cookies assume responsibility for any and all resulting loss of functionality of the website or its services therein.

Security Measures And Ways Information About You Is Used

You may provide on the Mari’s Place website personal information, or in the case of online payments, payment card information.

We may also disclose your personal information if we are compelled to do so to comply with valid legal processes such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order, or a valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency, or in the unlikely situation where we, in good faith, believe such information is necessary to protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Mari’s Place or the public.
