Privacy Policy
Maison Maps respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we process when you visit our website or place an order, why we process it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Last updated 12 August 2026
Who we are
Maison Maps is a brand operated by Maison Mess, established in The Netherlands and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number 83472649. For any privacy question you can reach us at info.maisonmaps@gmail.com.
Our online store runs on the Shopify commerce platform, which processes personal information on our behalf in order to operate the shop and checkout.
Information we may collect
- Name
- Email address
- Billing information
- Shipping information
- Order information
- Payment-related information (see “Payments” below)
- Customer service communications
- Device and browser information
- Website usage information
- Cookie and similar technology information
Why we process your information

- Processing returns and refunds
- Shipping and delivery
- Customs clearance
- Providing contact details to carriers where necessary for delivery
- Sending customs or import payment notifications where applicable

Legal bases under the GDPR
- Performance of a contract — processing your order, producing your items, delivering them, handling returns and refunds, and answering order-related questions.
- Legal obligation — tax, accounting, customs and consumer-law record keeping.
- Legitimate interests — securing the website, preventing fraud and abuse, and understanding in general terms how our website is used.
- Consent — non-essential cookies and similar technologies, and optional marketing messages. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Who we share information with
We share personal information only where it is reasonably necessary to fulfil your order, deliver it, meet a legal obligation or pursue another legitimate and lawful purpose. These recipients act as our service providers or, where required, as independent controllers for their own legal obligations:
- Shopify and other ecommerce service providers
- Production partners
- Print-on-demand fulfilment partners
- Shipping carriers
- Customs processing partners
- Local delivery partners
- Payment processors
- Analytics providers
- Technical service providers
Your email address may be supplied to a shipping carrier or a customs and delivery partner where this is necessary to complete delivery or customs clearance. For example, an international carrier or local delivery partner may use your email address to send information about customs clearance or the payment of import charges. This is an operational necessity of international delivery.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not sell your email address to shipping providers or anyone else.
Payments
Payments are processed securely by the relevant payment provider and/or by the Shopify commerce platform. Maison Maps does not store complete credit card details. We may receive limited payment-related information such as the payment method used, the result of the transaction and a partial card reference for reconciliation and fraud prevention.
International transfers
Because our production and fulfilment partners operate in different countries, personal information may be transferred outside the European Economic Area — for example to the United Kingdom or the United States — where this is necessary to produce and deliver your order. Where such a transfer takes place, it is based on an adequacy decision, on Standard Contractual Clauses, or on another lawful transfer mechanism together with appropriate safeguards.
Data retention
We keep order and transaction information for as long as required to fulfil the order, handle returns and warranty questions, and satisfy statutory retention obligations (including Dutch tax retention requirements). Customer service correspondence is kept for as long as needed to handle the matter and any follow-up. Information kept on the basis of consent is deleted when consent is withdrawn, unless another legal basis applies.
Data security
The website is served over HTTPS, and checkout and payment processing take place in the secure environment of our commerce and payment providers. We apply appropriate organisational and technical measures, limit access to personal information to what is necessary, and require our service providers to maintain appropriate safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your privacy rights
- Right of access to your personal information
- Right to correction of inaccurate information
- Right to deletion where applicable
- Right to restriction of processing
- Right to object to processing
- Right to data portability where applicable
- Right to withdraw consent at any time
- Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. In the Netherlands this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
To exercise any of these rights, email info.maisonmaps@gmail.com or use our contact page. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies are described in our Cookie Policy, where you can also review and change your consent choices at any time.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our operations or legal obligations. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
