7.1. Third Party Sites 

This  Privacy  Policy  applies  only  to  the  Site.  The  Site  may  contain  links  to  other  web  sites not  operated  or  controlled  by  us  (the  “Third Party Sites“).  The  policies  and procedures  we  described  here  do  not  apply  to  the  Third  Party  Sites.  The  links  from  the  Site do  not  imply  that  we  endorse  or  have  reviewed  the  Third  Party  Sites.  We  suggest contacting  those  sites  directly  for  information  on  their  privacy  policies.  For  instance,  we use third  party  payment  processors  to  accept  and  process  credit  and  debit  card payments  when  you  purchase  our  Products  and  Services.  The  information  provided  to  the relevant payment  processor  is  governed  by  the  payment  processor’s  privacy  policy.  Your data will be passed on to the relevant third party payment processor and they may perform identity and credit checks on the basis of the data provided by you (name, address, account number, bank sort code, credit card number, invoice amount, currency and transaction number). The legal basis for the processing for payment processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(b) GDPR. The data processing is necessary in particular to conclude the contract. If you do not provide your data, it may not be possible to conclude or execute a contract. You should check the terms of use and the privacy policy of those third-party payment processors for any further information. When you are purchasing a Product, you can always see which third-party payment processors we are offering. 

7.2. Social Media Services 

Through  the  Site,  you  can  choose  to  access  certain  social  media  websites  and  services that  are  owned  and/or  controlled  by  third  parties  (including,  without  limitation,  Facebook and  Twitter)  (such  websites  and  services,  collectively,  the  “Social Media Services“).  When you  choose  to  access  and  use  the  Social  Media  Services,  you  will  be  sharing  your information  (which  will  include  personal  information  if  you  elect  to  share  such  information) with  those  Social  Media  Services.  As  with  other  Third  Party  Sites,  the  information  that  you share  with  the  Social  Media  Services  will  be  governed  by  the  privacy  policies  and  terms  of service  of  the  providers  of  such  Social  Media  Services  and  not  by  the  policies  and procedures  we  describe  here.  You  may  also  be  able  to  modify  your  privacy  settings with  these Social  Media  Services  to,  for  example,  control  what  information  the  Social  Media Services  disclose  to  other  entities,  including  us.  When  you  log  into  the  Site  using your  Social  Media  Services  account,  we  will  collect  relevant  information  necessary  to enable  the  Site  to  access  that  Social  Media  Service,  however  you  will  provide  your  login information,  like  your  password,  directly  to  such  Social  Media  Service  (and  not  to us).  As  part  of  such  integration,  the  Social  Media  Service  will  provide  us  with access  to  certain  information  that  you  have  provided  to  such  Social  Media  Service,  and  we will  use,  store  and  disclose  such  information  in  accordance  with  this  Privacy  Policy  and,  if and  to  the  extent  applicable,  the  policies  of  such  Social  Media  Services.  However,  please remember  that  the  manner  in  which  Social  Media  Services  use,  store  and  disclose  your information  is  governed  by  the  policies  of  the  applicable  Social  Media  Services  provider, and,  as  a  result,  we  shall  not  have  any  liability  or  responsibility  for  the  privacy practices  or  other  actions  of  Social  Media  Services  that  may  be  enabled  within  and/or otherwise  accessible  through  the  Site.

8. SECURITY

Protecting your Personal Data is important to us. We use industry standard technology to protect your Personal Data. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data are properly secured using appropriate technical, physical, and organizational measures, so that they are protected against unauthorised or unlawful use, alteration, unauthorised access or disclosure, accidental or wrongful destruction, and loss. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet and via mobile communications networks can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result thereof, while we are committed to protecting your Personal Data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or through us.

9. DATA TRANSFER

Your Personal Data may be transferred to -and maintained on- computers located outside of your state, province, country or governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. 

Where we are legally required to do so, we have legally acceptable mechanisms in place that ensure an adequate level of protection for the transfers of Personal Data to parties outside your jurisdiction. For example, for data transfers from EU/EEA to countries outside this region, we have European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses or similar safeguards in place, allowing such data transfers. 

10. YOUR RIGHTS IN REGARD TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA

10.1. In the following you will find a list with all individual rights you have in regard to the Personal Data we hold about you:

• Your right of access
  If you ask us, we'll confirm whether we're processing your personal information and, if necessary, provide you with a copy of that personal information (along with certain other details). Please note that you might need to send us a copy of your passport ID or any other legal document that may verify your identity, too; this verification procedure is necessary in order to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access through any other person.
• Your right to rectification
  You are entitled to request to have it rectified, if the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, by sending us an email in the contact details at section 11. If you are entitled to rectification and if we've shared your personal information with others, we'll let them know about the rectification where possible. If you ask us, where possible and lawful to do so, we'll also tell you who we've shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
• Your right to erasure
  In certain circumstances you can ask us to delete or remove your personal information such as where we no longer need it or if you withdraw your consent (where applicable), provided there is no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing. If you are entitled to erasure and if we've shared your personal information with others, we'll let them know about the erasure where possible. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we'll also tell you who we've shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
• Your right to restrict processing
  In certain circumstances you can ask us to 'block' or suppress the processing of your personal information, such as where you contest the accuracy of that personal information or you object to us. If you are entitled to restriction and if we've shared your personal information with others, we'll let them know about the restriction where it is possible for us to do so. If you ask us, where it is possible and lawful for us to do so, we'll also tell you who we've shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
• Your right to data portability
  In certain circumstances you have the right, to obtain personal information you've provided us with (in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format such as Microsoft Excel) and to reuse it elsewhere or to ask us to transfer this to a third party of your choice.
• Your right to object
  You can ask us to stop processing your personal information, and we will do so, if we are:

• relying on our own or someone else's legitimate interests to process your personal information, except if we can demonstrate compelling legal grounds for the processing; or
• processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

• Your right to withdraw consent
  If we rely on your consent (or explicit consent) as our legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

10.2. Please note that some of these rights may be limited where we have an overriding interest or legal obligation to continue to process.

10.3. Please note that we might not be able to provide you with our Services anymore in case you have exercised any of your rights described above. However, any time you reuse our service after exercising any of the aforesaid rights, your then provided Personal Data may be processed, without regard to your previously exercised right(s), in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy. 

10.4. Erasing your Personal Data will delete the data only in our database. These deletions will not delete Personal Data that may have already been shared with or collected by third parties, all as provided above in this Privacy Policy. Unless it is impossible or involves disproportionate effort, we will take reasonable steps to contact any other recipient of your Personal Data and request the deletion of your Personal Data.

10.5. You have, at any time moving forward and in any case, the right to lodge a complaint with your
respective applicable (local and/or national) data protection authority if you think that we have violated your rights and/or are not in compliance with any applicable Personal Data protection regulation.
