Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases
Scope and processing purpose
We use your personal information only to provide our services to you, which includes: offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfillment of your order, and keeping you up to date on new products, services, and offers.
Legal Bases
Your personal data is collected only after obtaining your consent for collection and processing in line with this privacy policy under the following lawful bases:
- Your consent;
- The performance of the contract between you and the Site;
- Compliance with our legal obligations;
- To protect your vital interests;
- For our legitimate interests, which do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Processing Location
Your Personal Information will be initially processed in Ireland and then will be transferred to and outside of Europe for storage and further processing, including to Canada and the United States.
Storage duration
Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and no legal obligations to retain data conflict with the deletion. If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted, i.e the data are blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.
Obligation to provide data
Within the scope of the business or other relationship, customers, prospective customers or third parties need to provide us with personal data that is necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of a business or other relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude the contract or to provide a service or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship. Mandatory data are marked as such.
Automatic decision making
As a matter of principle, we do not use a fully automated decision-making process to establish and implement the business or other relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform of this separately.
Our processor Shopify uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you. Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:
- Temporary deny-list of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This deny-list persists for a small number of hours.
- Temporary deny-list of credit cards associated with deny-listed IP addresses. This deny-list persists for a small number of days.
Customer surveys
From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers and their wishes better. In doing so, we collect the data requested in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so the legal basis for the associated processing is our legitimate interest. We delete the data when the results of the surveys have been evaluated.
Newsletter
Interested parties have the option to subscribe to a free newsletter. We process the data provided during registration exclusively for sending the newsletter. Subscription takes place by selecting the corresponding field on our website, by ticking the corresponding field in a paper document or by another clear action, whereby interested parties declare their consent to the processing of their data. Consent can be revoked at any time, e.G by clicking the corresponding link in the newsletter or notifying our e-mail address given above. The processing of the data until revocation remains lawful even in the event of revocation.
Based on the consent of the recipients, we also measure the opening and click-through rate of our newsletters to understand what is relevant for our audience.
Third Parties
We share your Personal Information with service providers including our parent company Razor Group GmbH,
to help us provide our services and fulfill our contracts with you based on the lawful processing needs and legitimate interest.
We may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
Processing under EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
Data Subject Rights
If you are a resident of the EEA (European Economic Area), you have the following rights against us with regard to your personal data:
- Right of access,
- Right to correction or deletion,
- Right to limit processing,
- Right to object to the processing,
- Right to data transferability,
- Right to revoke a given consent at any time,
If you would like to exercise your rights, please contact us through the contact information above.
Data processing outside the EEA
Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, the security of the data during the transfer is guaranteed by adequacy decisions of the EU Commission, insofar as they exist (e.G for Great Britain, Canada and Israel) (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR).
If no adequacy decision exists (e.G for the USA), the legal basis for the data transfer are usually, i.e unless we indicate otherwise, standard contractual clauses. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and are part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they ensure the security of the data transfer. Many of the providers have given contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses to protect the data. These include, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of data or regarding an obligation on the part of the third party to notify data subjects if law enforcement agencies wish to access the respective data.
Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities are available at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/EN/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.
Data Security
The security of the data transferred to the third country (i.e a country outside the EEA) is guaranteed by standard data protection clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR) adopted by the EU Commission in accordance with the examination procedure under Art. 93 para. 2 of the GDPR, which we have agreed to with the provider.
