Transaction Security & Fraud Prevention

To provide you with the best services and to allow you a secure experience regarding the payment and the delivery of your orders, we will use some of your data in order to prevent and to avoid any misuse of this Site.

We use two companies to process any transactions that are made on our Site.  These are PayPal and SumUp.  These service suppliers may test such data on an automated basis.

This data may relate to data regarding the implementation of the contract (purchased items, personal information, payment method and banking data).

Following such test and depending on the result, we may decide to implement any relevant security measures or, when the transaction security can’t be ensured, we may decide to cancel the order. In case of an incident, such as fraudulent use of the means of payment or fraud with the delivery, the data relating to the order will be held with our transaction processors.

In the case you withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data regarding transaction security, you may no longer be able to use the Site or to place an order.

The rights you have relating to your personal data

You have the following rights at any time to request access to personal data that we hold about you; request from us rectification of any personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete; request erasure (‘right to be forgotten’) of personal data if these data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed or if you withdraw your consent (we might have to keep some personal data to meet legal requirements or legitimate interests though).

The right to obtain restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

o If you have contested the accuracy of your personal data, processing shall be restricted for a period enabling us to verify such accuracy,

You also have the right to object at any time to processing for direct marketing purposes (including profiling to the extent that it relates to such direct marketing);

·  The right to data portability, meaning you have the right to receive the personal data we hold about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller where the processing is based on your consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means. You have also the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller where technically feasible;
