We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States. 

 

We may share your data with third parties that are support companies working on our behalf. With these parties, we will conclude processor agreements (if necessary) under GDPR regulations with regard to the data processing that takes place within the EU and/or in relation to EU residence. Examples of these third party companies are email service providers that process the emails from customers, payment providers that process payments, shipping partners that ship our products to the customers, etc.

 

Your personal data will only be issued to third parties for the purposes referred to above in this Privacy Policy and/or exclusively on the basis of the legal grounds already mentioned.

If you use a third-party payment provider (for instance PayPal or a credit card provider), or any other third party in the context of your use of our Site, it is possible that that third party may also qualify as a controller of the personal data you provide them with. As such, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal data will be handled by these providers, as the terms surrounding their processing of your personal data may differ from those under this privacy policy. In particular, please remember that certain providers may be located in, or have facilities that are, located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
