Use of Personal Data

We use your Personal Data to provide you with our services, including: offering products for sale, processing payments, shipping and fulfilling your order, and keeping you informed about new products, services, and offers.

​

Legal Basis

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your Personal Data on the basis of the following legal grounds:

Your consent;

The performance of the contract between you and the Site;

Compliance with our legal obligations;

To protect your vital interests;

To perform a task carried out in the public interest;

For our legitimate interests, which do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

​

Retention

When you place an order through the Site, we retain your Personal Data for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information. For more information on your right to deletion, see the 'Your Rights' section below.

​

Automated Decision-Making

If you are an EEA resident, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (including profiling), where that decision-making has legal effects concerning you or otherwise significantly affects you.

​

We do NOT engage in fully automated decision-making that has legal or otherwise significant effects with customer data.

Our processor Wix uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud, which does not have legal or otherwise significant effects on you.

​

Services containing elements of automated decision-making include:

Temporary blacklisting of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This blacklist remains for a few hours.

Temporary blacklisting of credit cards associated with blocked IP addresses. This blacklist remains for a few days.

​

Your Rights

If you are an EEA resident, you have the right to access the Personal Data we hold about you, to transfer it to a new service, and to request that your Personal Data be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us using the contact details below.

Your Personal Data is initially processed in Ireland and then transferred outside Europe for storage and further processing, including to Canada and the United States. For more information on how data transfers comply with GDPR, see https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file that is downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We use various types of cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies improve your browsing experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you do not have to re-enter this information each time you visit the site or navigate from one page to another. Cookies also provide information about how people use the website, such as whether it is their first time visiting the site or if they are a frequent visitor.

​

The length of time a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing, while persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most cookies we use are persistent and expire between 30 minutes and two years after they are downloaded to your device.

​

You can manage and control cookies in various ways. Please note that deleting or blocking cookies may negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

​

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings, which are often found in the “Extra” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. For more information on how to adjust your browser settings or how to block, manage, or filter cookies, you can consult your browser's help files or visit websites such as www.allaboutcookies.org.

​

Additionally, it is important to note that blocking cookies may not fully prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt out of certain uses of your information by these parties, follow the instructions in the “Behavioral Advertising” section above.

​

DO NOT TRACK

Please note that, as there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser.

​

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
