Meruvo Supply does not control how independent suppliers process personal information provided directly to them.

We encourage customers to review third-party privacy policies before creating accounts, submitting personal information, or making purchases.

Purchasing digital products from Meruvo Supply does not automatically authorize third-party suppliers to access your personal information.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, and misuse.

Our store operates through Shopify's infrastructure, which provides security features for online transactions and customer data processing.

We also rely on relevant security measures provided by our payment processors and other service providers.

Although we take reasonable precautions, no internet-based service or electronic data transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Customers should avoid sending passwords, complete payment card details, or other sensitive financial information through unsecured communication channels.

  • Applicable accounting and tax obligations.

  • Customer support and transaction records.

  • Fraud prevention and security requirements.

  • Potential or ongoing legal disputes.

Where personal information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymize, or otherwise securely dispose of the information, unless continued retention is legally justified.
