When you visit our website, the system automatically collects basic technical data, such as:

•  IP address

•  Operating system

•  Time of visit and pages visited

•  Access source (e.g., search engine or external link)

This data is collected for technical, statistical, and security purposes (e.g., fraud detection). It is not used to identify the user.

To place an order, you can register a user account
or purchase as a guest. When registering, we process the following data:

•  Name and surname

•  Email address

•  Delivery and billing address

Providing this information is necessary to fulfill the sales contract (Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b of the GDPR).

•  You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the footer of the email or by contacting us.

 
Tracking Pixels in the Newsletter

We may place invisible tracking pixels in emails that let us know if and when the message has been opened and which links have been clicked.

This allows us to:

•  Measure campaign effectiveness

•  Tailor newsletter content to the interests of recipients

This is based on your consent to receive the newsletter. You can withdraw your consent at any time, which will result in your data being removed from the mailing list.

Contact Form and Email Contact

If you contact us via the contact form or email,
we process your data:

•  First name, last name (if provided)

We use this data solely to process your inquiry and conduct correspondence. The legal basis is:

We store messages for the time necessary to respond and for up to 12 months after the end of the contact, unless a longer period is required by law.

How long do we store Personal Data?

We only retain personal data for as long as
necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, for example:

•  Order data – for the period required by tax regulations (usually 5 years)

•  Account data – until it is deleted

•  Newsletter data – until consent is withdrawn

•  Correspondence data – for a maximum of 12 months from the last contact

After these periods, the data is deleted or anonymized.

  •  Transferring data – to another controller (in the case of data processed on the basis of consent or contract).

  • Object to data processing based on legitimate interests – e.g. profiling or direct marketing.

  • Withdrawal of consent – at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal of consent.
