We use our technology to gather the following information:

We use this to monitor our website performance and ensure everything is running smoothly. This information includes Internet protocol addresses (IP), the type and version of browser you are using, your operating system and platform, including the uniform resource locator (URL). This data is stored completely anonymously and contains no information that would enable us to identify individual users.

We only ask for information that is required to enable us to complete your order. This includes, for example, your contact data, including your name and surname, address, e-mail address, telephone number. Your payment information, including your bank details, credit card information and invoice address is held securely with our payment gateway provider.
- Information from other sources: to deliver your orders securely and safely, we obtain information on payment behaviours, such as from mail-order companies, credit bureaus or updates regarding ordering and delivery addresses from parcel delivery and transport companies.
Using Your Data to Process Your Order
We use the personal information that you provide us with as part of the order process, to deliver the goods, to arrange payment and to send you information about your order. We require the following data to do this: contact information including title, first name, last name, street address, postal code, city, country, email address, and phone number (in case we have any questions about your order).
For the purpose of payment processing, the necessary data is stored both on our server and on the servers of the companies we have authorized to handle payment processing.
Passing Your Personal Data on to Third Parties
We will not pass on your personal data to anyone not included in this data privacy statement. The only exception to this would be to serve legal obligations.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
