Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 22, 2026
Last updated: October 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how MALTEZ DISCOUNT CORP., operating the Maltez Discount online store at https://maltezdiscount.com/, collects, uses, stores and shares personal information in connection with our website, products and services.

MALTEZ DISCOUNT CORP. is responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us

• Order information: when you place or try to place an order, we collect your name, billing address, shipping address, email address and phone number, and the items you order.
• Account information: if you create an account, we collect your email address, your password (stored in encrypted form) and the addresses you save.
• Customer support messages: when you email, call or use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, any order number you give us and the content of your message.

Payment information

Card payments are handled by Stripe. Your card number and security code are entered into Stripe’s secure payment form and sent directly to Stripe. We do not see or store your full card number. Stripe shares limited details with us, such as the card brand, the last four digits and the expiration date, so we can identify the payment. If you choose “Save to account” at checkout, your card is saved with Stripe, not on our website.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, our hosting provider and our website software automatically receive certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and the pages you view. We use cookies as described in Section 4.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To process, pack, ship and deliver your orders, including sending order confirmations and tracking updates
• To process payments, refunds and returns, and to calculate sales tax
• To answer your questions and provide customer support
• To screen orders for possible fraud and keep our website secure
• To keep business, tax and accounting records required by law
• To keep our website working properly and fix technical problems

We use your information to perform our contract with you (processing, shipping and supporting your order), to meet legal obligations (tax, accounting and fraud-prevention records), and for our legitimate interests (keeping the website secure and working, and preventing fraud).

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share personal information only with the following service providers, and only as needed to run our store:

• Stripe (payment processing): your name, billing address, email address and payment details, to process payments and prevent fraud.
• United States Postal Service (delivery): your name, shipping address and phone number, to deliver your order and returns.
• Hostinger (website hosting, content delivery and email): the information stored on and sent through our website and email.
• Google (Google Fonts and the Google Maps map on our Contact Us page): receives your IP address and browser information when your browser loads the fonts or the map.
• Legal compliance: we may share information when required by law, for example to respond to a subpoena, court order or other lawful request, or when needed to protect our rights, our customers or the public, including to prevent fraud.
• Business transfers: if our business is sold or merged, customer information may be transferred to the new owner, who must continue to protect it in line with this policy.

4. Cookies, Third-Party Services and Do Not Track

We use cookies to keep your shopping cart, account and checkout session working. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but the cart and checkout will not work without them. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

Stripe may set cookies on our checkout page to process payments and prevent fraud. Google may set cookies when the Google Maps map on our Contact Us page loads. Apart from this, we do not allow other companies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our site. Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Our website does not respond to these signals.

5. Data Retention

• Order information: for as long as tax and accounting rules require us to keep business records, generally up to 7 years after the order.
• Account information: until you ask us to close your account.
• Customer support messages: up to 2 years after your last message.
• Cart and session cookies: until the end of your session.

When information is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous. If you ask us to delete your information, we will delete everything we are not legally required to keep.

6. How We Protect Your Information

Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption (https) on every page. Card payments are handled by Stripe, and we never store full card numbers. Access to order and customer information is limited to the people who need it to fulfill orders and support customers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live (for example California under the CCPA/CPRA, or other US states with consumer privacy laws), you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you and get a copy of it, to ask us to correct inaccurate information, to ask us to delete your personal information, and not to be treated differently for using these rights. We honor these requests for all customers, wherever they live.

How to make a request: email support@maltezdiscount.com with the subject “Privacy request”, the email address you used with us, and what you would like us to do. We may ask for your order number to confirm your identity. We will reply within 30 days and will not charge you for making a request. You can also use an authorized agent to make a request for you.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to place an order. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Where Your Information Is Processed

We sell only to customers in the United States, and your information is processed in the United States by us and our service providers.

Our website may link to other websites, such as the USPS tracking site and Google Maps. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites; please read their privacy policies.
