Performance of a contract

When you purchase a product from us, we need certain personal information to process and fulfil your order.

Our webshop allows you to pay using iDEAL and other payment methods provided through our payment providers.

When you make a payment, the information necessary to process the transaction may be shared with the relevant payment provider.

Payment providers may process personal information such as your name, payment details, transaction information, and other information necessary to complete the payment.

We do not store or have access to your complete payment credentials, such as your banking login details or PIN.

Payment providers process personal data according to their own privacy policies and terms.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to function properly and can help us understand how visitors use our website.

Wix may use different categories of cookies, including:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website and webshop to function properly. They may be used for functions such as:

• Shopping cart functionality

• Checkout

• Website security

• Session management

• Remembering necessary settings
   

These cookies cannot always be disabled because the website may not function properly without them.

Functional cookies

These cookies may be used to remember preferences and settings and provide a more personalised website experience.

Analytics cookies

Wix may use analytics and similar technologies to provide information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how visitors navigate through the website.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies.

You can change your cookie preferences through the cookie settings on our website or through your browser settings.

8. Sharing personal data with third parties

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise commercially trade your personal data.

These parties may include:

• Payment providers

• Delivery and shipping companies

• Accounting and administrative service providers

• Technical service providers

• Website analytics and security providers
   

We only share information that is necessary for the relevant service or purpose.

Where required by applicable law, we take appropriate steps to ensure that third-party service providers handle personal data securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
 

9. International data transfers

Some service providers we use, including technology and website providers, may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

If personal data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by applicable data protection law, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards.
 

10. How long do we keep your personal data?

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Some information must be retained for longer periods because of legal obligations, including accounting and tax requirements.
