Privacy Policy

At Maqio Ltd, we recognise how important it is to keep your personal information safe and secure. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect.

We are totally committed to ensuring that your online shopping experience is completely secure and when you give us your name, address, credit card, contact details, or any other personal details, we promise to keep them safe and secure and with the exception of that outlined in this policy, we promise never to share them with anyone outside of our website.

The maqio.co.uk website is as secure as we can make it, with up-to-date security features. The website uses 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology which is the most advanced level of security that is currently available for online purchasing. When you are in a secure area of the website, such as the checkout screens, you should see a solid padlock in your browser status bar to indicate that the encryption is taking place. You will also see that the Maqio address in the browser has changed and the http has been replaced with https in front of the www.maqio.co.uk address.

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages, which we use to keep track of what you have in your basket and remember you when you return to our website.

To utilise all the online shopping and personalised features of our website, your computer, tablet or mobile phone will need cookies enabling, as we can only provide you with certain personalised features of this website by using them.

We're giving you this information as part of our programme to both comply with legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to ensure we're honest and transparent about your privacy when using our website. We know you'd expect nothing less from us – therefore we endeavour to keep your information as private as we want our own kept.
