Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online and offline information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used (collectively, the “Policy”). To make this Policy easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information might be requested. Throughout this Policy, “Meridian”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refers to Meridian Strategic EOOD and its subsidiaries, and its affiliated entities, and “Website” refers to www.meridianstrategic.eu and the sites found on the Internet, including mobile versions of those sites.

We may collect personal data from customers both online and offline. Online, we may collect information through the Website, an affiliated site (such as a promotional microsite linked to our site), a page on a community website (such as Facebook or the like), when you interact with us through email, text messages, or mobile applications, or through similar online avenues. On some pages, you may order products, make requests, submit product reviews, and register to receive materials or information and this information may also be collected. Offline, we may collect information through our sales associates at our Showroom (such as email addresses for the purposes of sending electronic receipts). Our Policy applies to all information collected by or submitted to the Website, Meridian, or its employees as described herein.

The types of personal information collected include personal identifiers, financial and commercial information, and internet and device information, including, without limitation, your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. We may collect information about your browsing history, search history, purchase behavior, IP address, device type, cellular carrier, location information, and other information regarding your interaction with a particular website, application, or advertisement, including the Website, when and after you use the Website.

On some pages, you may submit information about other people. For example, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the recipient, you will need to submit the recipient’s address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information collected relating to the recipient include their name, shipping address, and phone number.

We may combine information you give us with other information from Meridian sources or transactions, including without limitation direct mail, catalogs, events, and automatic data collection sources. We may also combine that information with data that is publicly available and/or data from third parties.
