Data We Collect

  • Identifiers: Name, email, shipping/billing address, phone number (if provided).

  • Commercial Information: Orders, payment confirmation metadata (we receive tokens and status from payment processors; we do not store full card numbers).

  • Internet/Device Information: IP address, device type, browser, pages viewed, session duration, referring URLs.

  • Communications: Messages you send to support, survey responses, product reviews.

  • Inferences: Preferences derived from on‑site behavior (e.g., language, region) to tailor content.

No special categories: We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health, biometric, precise geolocation) and ask that you do not provide it.


How We Collect Data

  • Directly from you: Checkout forms, account creation, email sign‑ups, customer support.

  • Automatically: Cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and fraud prevention.

  • From service providers: Payment processors, email and CRM tools, and shipping carriers provide limited information necessary to complete transactions and deliveries.


Why We Use Data (GDPR Lawful Bases)

  • Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): To process purchases, deliver products, provide warranty support.

  • Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): To secure our services, prevent fraud, improve site performance, and personalize content in privacy‑respecting ways.

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): For optional marketing emails, non‑essential cookies, and SMS. You may withdraw consent at any time.

  • Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): To satisfy tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements.


How We Use Your Data

  1. Fulfillment & Support: Process orders, shipping, returns, warranty claims, and customer service.

  2. Communication: Respond to inquiries; send transactional emails (order confirmations, updates). Marketing is sent only with consent or as permitted by law.

  3. Security & Fraud Prevention: Detect, investigate, and deter malicious activity.

  4. Analytics & Improvement: Understand site performance and improve products and content (aggregated or de‑identified where possible).

  5. Compliance: Maintain records required by law and respond to lawful requests from authorities.

We do not sell personal information.


Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Core site features (cart, login, checkout).

  • Performance/Analytics Cookies: Understand usage and improve the site.

  • Functional Cookies: Remember preferences (language, region).

  • Advertising/Retargeting (if enabled): Shown only with consent where required.

You can manage cookies in your browser settings and, where applicable, via our cookie banner preferences center. Disabling some cookies may impact site functionality.

Do Not Track: Our sites do not respond to all DNT signals due to industry standards. We honor legally required “opt‑out” mechanisms where applicable.


Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above:

  • Orders and warranty records: typically 7 years (tax/accounting requirements may vary).

  • Marketing contact data: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent.

  • Support communications: retained for quality, training, and legal defense for a reasonable period.

When data is no longer needed, we delete or de‑identify it in a secure manner.


Sharing with Third Parties

We share data with service providers under contracts that require confidentiality and security, such as:

  • Payment processing and fraud prevention

  • E‑commerce platforms and hosting

  • Email delivery and CRM

  • Analytics and performance monitoring

  • Fulfillment, shipping, and returns management

We may also share information when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction (e.g., merger or acquisition). We do not sell or lease personal information.


International Data Transfers

If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the U.S. and other countries. Where GDPR applies, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) for transfers from the EEA/UK/Switzerland.


Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; we continually improve our controls.


Your Rights

Under GDPR (EEA/UK): Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection (including to profiling for direct marketing).
Under CCPA/CPRA (California): Right to know/access, delete, correct, and opt‑out of certain data sharing; right to non‑discrimination for exercising your rights.

To exercise rights, see Data Subject Rights (DSR) Process below.


Marketing Preferences

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in our messages or by contacting us. Transactional messages (e.g., order updates) will still be sent as needed.


Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn we have, we will delete it promptly and take appropriate steps.
