The GDPR is the EU regulation 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, enforceable from 25 May 2018. The security measures we implement are designed to prevent unauthorized and unlawful access, processing, modification, and disclosure of any data, as well as, against its accidental destruction, loss, and damage.

LEGAL BASIS TO USE PERSONAL DATA

We will process your data in the following cases:
• We need your data to meet our contractual obligations, e.g. when you purchase any product.
• We have your consent to process your data for a specific purpose, e.g. when you subscribe to our newsletter.
• We have a legitimate interest in processing your data, e.g. marketing and research activities.


 

DATA WE COLLECT

We gather information about website visitors in order to offer a better online experience and offer them specific products and services. It also enables some website functionalities to work appropriately. Additionally, collecting data allows us to analyze and understand how the website is used so we can improve our service and offer visitors relevant information.
Data is collected automatically or provided by visitors. When a visitor enters our website, mobile apps, or social media platforms, its IP address is gathered. The IP address only identifies the device used to access our website, mobile apps, or social media platforms, and it does not identify the visitor as an individual.
Data is also gathered when visitors choose to create an account, fill out online forms, participate in offers and promotions, or make a purchase. We will always ask for permission to contact you about products, offers, promotions, and/or other services we think might be relevant to you. This is typically done by ticking the appropriate box in online forms. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time. Data provided by visitors might include:
• Name and surname
• Personal address
• Contact information, including phone number and email address
• Payment information
• Any other information created by visitors, i.e. survey responses, comments, or purchase history


 

HOW DATA IS USED

Collected data is used in a variety of ways.

• To create and manage visitors’ online accounts
• To carry out the purchasing process
• To understand how the website is used
• To manage loyalty programs
• To personalize the website and offer relevant information
• To communicate with you about promotions, offers, contests, and surveys
• To solve inquiries, returns, and refunds
• For internal records, market research, and product development

Collected data is only shared with our corporate affiliates and other parties that are necessarily involved in the fulfillment of orders. Otherwise, we will only share your data if there is a legal requirement to do so.
Online payments are made using a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details and cannot be accessed by us. All transactions are processed by a reliable payments service provider.
Your data will be processed for the duration of our contractual relationships and it will be stored for a reasonable period after which it will be completely erased.


 

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

We may provide links to websites owned and operated by third parties for your convenience. These websites have their own privacy policies that might differ from ours and we are not responsible for any information you might provide them.
