We work with third-party tools that use cookies and tracking pixels to enhance your experience. These technologies are used to personalize the content you see and may be used to show you targeted advertisements on other websites. The information collected is anonymous and does not contain any personal data that can be used to identify you directly. This data is not shared with Merra; it is only used by the third-party systems involved to improve your browsing experience.

Data Security & Privacy

Merra is dedicated to protecting the integrity, security, and privacy of our customers' personal information. We employ a variety of physical and electronic security measures, including firewalls and secure databases, to protect your data from misuse, loss, or unauthorized access.

Any personal information you provide during registration or checkout is kept confidential and is used solely for the purpose of processing your order. We guarantee that your information will not be disclosed to any external organizations or third parties.

  • If you subscribe to our updates, your email address and/or SMS number will be used to send you information about new products and special offers. You can easily remove yourself from the mailing list at any time by logging into your account and opting out.

Your data is stored securely and is never shared or sold to third parties. If you wish to have your phone number removed from our database, please contact us promptly, and we will take care of it.

Cart Tracking & Abandoned Cart Reminders

We use cookies and similar technologies to track activity related to your shopping cart. This includes monitoring which items you add and identifying when a cart has been abandoned. If you have given us permission for marketing communications, we may send you cart reminder messages via SMS or other channels to help you complete your purchase. These messages may include details of the items in your cart or relevant promotions.

We only send these communications where we have a lawful basis to do so, such as your consent. You can opt out or update your preferences at any time by following the unsubscribe link in any message or by contacting us directly. We do not sell personal data related to abandoned cart activity.
