  • Email address for newsletter subscription. We use your email address if you have voluntarily subscribed or if you have made a purchase in our shop. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send. However, if you unsubscribe, we may still need to communicate with you — for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary to respond to service requests or for other non-marketing purposes.
  • Order information including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment confirmation, email address, phone number.
  • Account information including your username, password, security questions.
  • Shopping information including the items you view, put in your cart or add to your wishlist.
  • Customer support information including the information you choose to include in communications with us, for example, when sending a message through the Services.

We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e. legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests. The legal grounds that apply to our data processing that are contained within the GDPR:

  • Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e. consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
  • Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we process your personal information to send information about special offers and discounts on our products and services.

Some features of the Services may require you to directly provide us with certain information about yourself. Not providing this information may prevent you from using our Site and accessing our online shop.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
