​

WHAT ARE OUR LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
The primary legal grounds we rely on to process personal information are:

Consent: You will always have the right to withdraw any consent that you given to process your personal data. If you do choose to withdraw your consent, the withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing your personal data prior to your withdrawal.

​

By Agreement: We will process your personal data if and to the extent necessary to enter into or to perform a contract.

Legal Obligation: We will process your personal data to the extent that we are required to do so by law. We reserve the right to release specific personal information about you if required by law, governmental request or court order.

To Protect Your Vital Interests: We will process your personal data if we determine that it is necessary to do so to protect your vital interests.

​

A Legitimate Interest: We may also process your personal data if we have a legitimate interest to do so, and do not disproportionately infringe on your privacy.

​

HOW DO WE PROTECT PERSONAL DATA?
We take the security of your personal data seriously. We have put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures, including internal policies and controls, to:

Protect your information, for example to backup and protect the integrity of our electronic communications and data storage systems;

​

Limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties on a need to know basis. They may only process your personal information on our instructions, they are subject to a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to keep it secure;

​

Prevent your personal information from unauthorized or unlawful use or disclosure and against unintended access, loss or destruction, or damage; and deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

​

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is maintained in private files on our secure web server and on our internal systems. All sensitive/credit card information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases for utmost security.

​

HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN PERSONAL DATA?
Your personal data will not be kept longer than necessary and will be deleted, as soon as reasonably possible in view of the purposes for processing your personal data (see What do we Use your Personal Information for?), unless we have an ongoing legitimate reason to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

​

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need or no other legitimate reason to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives and/or it is technically impossible and/or economically impractical), we will securely store your personal data until deletion is possible.

​

If you have questions about, or need further information concerning, our data retention periods, please contact us. (See “How do you Contact us?”, below)

 

DO WE USE "COOKIES"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting customer service.

​

DO WE SHARE PERSONAL DATA WITH OUTSIDE PARTIES?
We respect your privacy rights and will not sell, trade or rent your personal data to other companies. However, we sometimes need to share your personal data with third parties. Those include:

Service Providers. We may use service providers (processors) to help us provide our services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to not to disclose or use it for other purposes. The processors may solely process your personal data based on our instructions. For example, we work with service providers offering hosting services. We may also hire IT service providers to support the safe and stable operation of our systems. If we engage a third party to handle personal information, we shall perform a thorough background check on such third party and exercise proper supervision over such third party to ensure the safe management of personal information. We will conclude a data processor agreement with our data processors, which meets the requirements laid down in the GDPR.

​

Legal Authorities. We may need to share your data when we believe it's required by law or to protect your and our rights and security. It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary. We will attempt to notify visitors about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overboard, vague or lack proper authority.

Purchasers of our Business. We may also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger or change in control of our business, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only for the purposes and in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you notify the purchaser to the contrary.

​

Objection to Use: You may object to our use of your personal data or request to limit our use of your personal data.
