The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law designed to protect the personal data of individuals in the European Union (EU). It came into effect on May 25, 2018, and applies to all businesses that process data of EU residents, regardless of where the business is located. This means that even if our business operates outside the EU, we are committed to complying with GDPR when offering goods or services to EU customers. Personal data under GDPR includes any information that can identify an individual, such as names, email addresses, and IP addresses.
One of the key principles of GDPR is obtaining explicit consent from users before collecting or processing their data. This means customers must actively agree to share their data, and consent cannot be implied through pre-ticked boxes or inactivity. We ensure transparency by clearly communicating how and why we collect personal data, providing users with the information they need to make informed decisions.
GDPR also emphasizes the importance of data security. We take all necessary measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or damage, ensuring that customer data remains secure at all times. Customers also have specific rights under GDPR, including the right to access their data, request corrections to inaccurate information, or have their data deleted under certain conditions. We are committed to responding to such requests within one month and free of charge.
Compliance with GDPR is not just a legal requirement; it is an essential part of building trust with our customers. By prioritizing data protection and transparency, we aim to create a safe and secure shopping experience for everyone. If you have any questions about how we handle your data or wish to exercise your rights, please feel free to contact us.
