Welcome to Mary’s Plate! We know privacy matters, especially when you’re online. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal info when you visit our site (we call you “Visitors”) or sign up to use our services (“Authorized Customers”).

What is Personally Identifiable Information?

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any data that can identify or contact you—like your name, address, phone number, email, payment info, or other sensitive details. It doesn’t include anonymous data or general demographics that can’t be linked back to you.

What Info Do We Collect?

We collect some basic info from all Visitors. If you register as an Authorized Customer, we might ask for a bit more—like your business size or what kind of ads you want to buy or sell.

Who Else Collects Your Info?

Sometimes, third parties like banks or payment companies collect info when you use their services on our site. While we don’t control how they use your info, they should be transparent about their policies. Some of these companies only act as middlemen and don’t store your data.

How Do We Use Your Info?

We use your info to make marysplate.com personal and helpful to you, help with buying or selling requests, and sometimes to invite you to surveys or special offers. We might reach out to answer your questions or share relevant info.

Who Do We Share Your Info With?

We may share your info with other Authorized Customers if it helps with transactions. We might also share aggregated, non-identifiable data with partners and vendors. You can always opt out of emails or contacts from us or third parties—just follow the instructions in the messages or get in touch with us.

How Is Your Info Stored?

Your info is kept safe and only accessed by authorized team members who need it to help you.

What Choices Do You Have?

You can opt out of unwanted emails or contacts anytime by following the unsubscribe steps or contacting us directly.

Do We Use Cookies?

Yes! Cookies help us remember your preferences and keep things secure. For example, if you’re logged in but inactive for 10 minutes, we’ll log you out automatically.

How Do We Use Login Info?

We look at things like your IP address and browser type to understand site trends, manage the site, and keep things running smoothly.

Who Can Access Your Info?

Sometimes, trusted third-party partners may access your info when necessary to help us provide services. We don’t control their policies, so we recommend reviewing their privacy practices too.

When Might We Disclose Your Info?

If legally required—like a court order or to protect safety—we may share your info. Otherwise, we keep it private.

How Do We Protect Your Info?

We take security seriously. Only authorized team members with passwords can see your data. Sensitive info like credit cards is encrypted. We do our best to keep your info safe, but no system is 100% foolproof.

How Can You Update Your Info?

Need to fix or update your info? Just email us, and we’ll help.

Can You Delete or Deactivate Your Info?

Yes! You can ask us to delete or deactivate your info. While some data might stick around in backups, we’ll stop using your info and won’t share or sell it anymore.

What If Our Policy Changes?

If we change this policy, we’ll post updates here on marysplate.com. If changes affect info you wanted private, we’ll contact you directly so you can decide what to do.

We might link to other sites, but once you click, you’re leaving marysplate.com. We recommend checking their privacy policies since they might handle your data differently.
