The account data will be processed for the duration of the account. When you decide to delete your account, we will also delete the data contained in it. Please note, however, that the deletion of your account does not lead to the deletion of information about orders placed by you using your account.

You have the opportunity to rectify the data contained in your account at any time. You can also decide to delete your account at any time. You also have the right to data portability as referred to in Article 20 of the RODO.

Order data will be processed for the time necessary to process the order and thereafter until the expiry of the limitation period for claims under the contract concluded. In addition, data may still be processed by us for statistical purposes after this period has expired. Please also note that we are obliged to store invoices with your personal data for a period of five years from the end of the fiscal year in which the tax liability arose.

In the case of order data, you do not have the opportunity to rectify this data once the order has been processed. You also cannot object to the processing of the data and request the deletion of the data until the expiry of the limitation period for contractual claims. Likewise, you cannot object to the processing of your data and request the deletion of your invoice data. After the expiry of the limitation period for contractual claims, you may object to our processing of your data for statistical purposes as well as request the deletion of your data from our database.

In relation to your order data, you also have the right to data portability as referred to in Article 20 RODO.

The data provided to us when you sign up for the newsletter is used for the purpose of sending you the newsletter, and the legal basis for its processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) RODO) given when you sign up for the newsletter.

Your data will be processed for the duration of the newsletter, unless you unsubscribe earlier, which will result in your data being deleted from the database.

You can rectify your data stored in the newsletter database at any time, as well as request its deletion by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You also have the right to data portability as referred to in Article 20 RODO.

Complaints and withdrawal. If you make a complaint or withdraw from the contract, you provide us with the personal data contained in the content of the complaint or withdrawal statement, which includes your name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address, bank account number.

In addition, you may also include other personal data in the body of the message. The provision of data is voluntary, but necessary in order to make contact.

Your data is processed in this case for the purpose of contacting you, and the basis for processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the RODO, i.e. your consent resulting from initiating contact with us. The legal basis for post-contact processing is the legitimate purpose of archiving correspondence for internal purposes (Article 6(1)(c) RODO).

The content of correspondence may be subject to archiving and we are not in a position to determine unequivocally when it will be deleted. You have the right to request the history of any correspondence you have had with us (if it has been subject to archiving), as well as to request its deletion, unless its archiving is justified due to our overriding interests, e.g. defence against potential claims on your part.
