Our website and the services that support it may use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential website functions, remember certain preferences, understand website activity, and help maintain website security and performance.

You may be able to manage or disable cookies through your web browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

Receiving transactional communications, such as order confirmations or shipping updates, is separate from receiving optional marketing communications.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational precautions to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

MARA AMAR relies on established third-party service providers, including Big Cartel, Stripe, Google, Pirate Ship, and shipping carriers, to provide services that involve customer information. These providers maintain their own security practices and policies.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information.

The appropriate retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
