1. Scope and Applicability

This policy applies to all personal data collected from individuals located in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), regardless of where our business is based or where the data is processed.

We are committed to protecting the privacy and rights of EU data subjects as required by GDPR.

2. Lawful Basis for Data Processing

We collect and process personal data only when we have a lawful basis, such as user consent, contractual necessity, or legitimate interests.

You will be informed of the purpose of data collection and your rights at the time of data submission.

3. Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation

We collect only the minimum personal data necessary for the specified purposes, such as account creation, order processing, and customer support. Personal data is not used for any purpose incompatible with the original reason for collection.

4. User Rights

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of your personal data and information on how it is used.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): Request deletion of your data when it is no longer necessary or if you withdraw consent.
• Right to Restrict Processing: Ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured format and transfer it to another controller.
• Right to Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting prior processing.

5. Data Storage, Security, and Retention

Personal data is stored securely, using encryption and access controls. Data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes stated or as required by law. Once no longer needed, data is deleted or anonymized according to our data retention policy.

We regularly review and update our security measures and retention schedules.

6. International Data Transfers

If personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we ensure that the recipient country provides adequate data protection or appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach affecting your personal data, we will notify the relevant authorities within 72 hours and affected users as required by GDPR.

8. Third-Party Processors

We only engage third-party service providers who are GDPR-compliant and have data processing agreements in place. Third parties may only process data as instructed and for specified purposes.
