About this policy

This policy explains how Deseo Maldives ("Deseo", "we", "us" or "our") handles personal information when you browse deseo.mv, shop with us, use a Deseo account, submit an enquiry or feedback, take part in a promotion, or use our wholesale services.

By using our website or providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described here. Some services may include an additional notice where a different use of information needs to be explained.

Information we collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with us.

Information you provide

  • Your name, mobile number and email address, where requested.
  • Delivery details, including your address and location information you choose to save.
  • Order, payment-choice and transaction details, including transfer receipts you upload. We do not ask for or store your online-banking password.
  • Messages, feedback, survey responses, competition entries and customer-service correspondence.
  • Business and contact details submitted for a wholesale account or enquiry.

Information collected automatically

  • Basic device and browser information, IP address, pages viewed, searches and interactions with the website.
  • Session, cart and preference data stored through cookies or local storage.
  • Account activity such as sign-in verification, order history and notification preferences.

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • verify your mobile number and manage your account;
  • process orders, payments, collection and delivery;
  • provide receipts, order updates and customer support;
  • review wholesale applications and respond to business enquiries;
  • remember your cart and preferences, understand how our services are used and improve them;
  • send marketing or promotional communications where you have asked for them or where otherwise permitted, with an option to opt out;
  • prevent fraud, misuse and security incidents; and
  • meet our legal, accounting and operational obligations.

When we share it

We do not sell your personal information. We may share only what is reasonably necessary with trusted providers that help us operate—for example delivery partners, payment and banking providers, hosting and technology suppliers, messaging services, analytics providers, and professional advisers.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our customers, business or rights, or as part of a business reorganisation. Providers may only use the information for the service they perform for us or as required by law.

Cookies & analytics

Our website uses essential cookies and similar browser storage to keep the site secure, maintain your session and cart, and remember choices you make. We also use analytics to understand visits and improve the website.

You can restrict or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features, including account, cart and checkout functions, may not work correctly without essential cookies.

Retention & security

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described here, including providing services, maintaining business and tax records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and meeting legal requirements. Different records may have different retention periods.

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect your information. No website, transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please take care when sending information online.

Your choices

You may ask us to provide access to, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, subject to any information we must keep for legal or legitimate business reasons. You may also ask a privacy question, withdraw a consent you previously gave, or opt out of marketing communications.

To help protect your account, we may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You can also manage certain account details and notification preferences directly through your Deseo account.

Children & external links

Our online shopping services are not intended for children to use without the involvement of a parent or guardian. Our website may link to services operated by others; their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
