Where is your personal data stored?
We strive to process your personal data as much as possible within the European Economic Area (EEA) and on all our own IT systems. However, data may also be transferred to and processed in a country outside the EEA (known as a “third country”). Such transfers only occur to recipient countries with an adequate level of protection and in compliance with applicable legislation. If a transfer is made to a service partner in the USA, it is only to companies covered by the “Privacy Shield” framework, which is an agreement on data protection between the EU and the USA.
What types of personal data do we collect?
We collect personal data that you provide to us when you place orders on our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or participate in any competitions. The personal data you send to us may include contact information, date of birth, and payment information. We may also collect certain personal data from external partners, such as address information from public registers and credit information from credit rating agencies, banks, or credit reporting companies.

What are your rights?
You have the right to request information about the personal data we hold about you at any time. If your data is incorrect, incomplete, or irrelevant, you can request to have it corrected or deleted. We cannot delete your data if there is a legal obligation to retain it, such as accounting regulations, or when there are other legitimate reasons for keeping the data, such as unpaid invoices.

These data processors handle the information on our behalf and according to our instructions, helping us with IT services, payment services, transportation, and marketing. This is only done for purposes for which we have collected the information and only with companies that can provide sufficient guarantees regarding the security and confidentiality of personal data.
We never forward, sell, or trade your personal data for marketing purposes to third parties.
