PRIVACY POLICY

We take the protection of your data seriously. We attach great importance to data security and use SSL encryption on our websites. We also respect your privacy with regard to all information that we collect during the operation of our websites and limit ourselves to data that is necessary for processing inquiries and orders, in order to maintain contact with you. 

WEBSITE VISITORS       

We do not collect personally identifiable information of the kind typically made available by web browsers and servers. This includes browser type, preferred language, referring website, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose of collecting non-personal information is to better understand user behavior and to make the website better and more customer-oriented. The non-personal data do not allow any direct conclusions to be drawn about your person.  

We also collect potentially personally-identifying information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users who leave comments on our sites or blogs. We treat this personally identifying information in the same way as personal information (see below). 

COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

As a visitor, you may choose to interact with us in ways that require us to collect personally identifiable information. The amount and type of information we collect depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who register with us to provide a username and email address. Those transacting/ordering with us will be asked to provide additional information, including personal and financial information, necessary to process those transactions. In any event, we collect such information only to the extent necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction and to comply with data retention laws. . 

As a visitor, you can always refuse to provide personally identifiable information, with the understanding that doing so may prevent you from engaging in certain activities, such as placing an order. 

PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT SPECIFICALLY ON THIS WEBSITE INCLUDES:

E-MAIL ADDRESS

Your e-mail address will be saved until your customer account or the post you commented on is deleted. In connection with orders, the address will be stored for as long as this is necessary to process the order or until the legally prescribed period for storing the data has expired. 

IP ADDRESS

Your IP address is stored when we detect interactions on the website to help you identify violations (security). Your IP address will be stored until your account is deleted.

Google Analytics

We use Google Advanced Analyticsto collect, monitor and analyze aggregate traffic patterns so that we can improve our services and features. We use the support of Google's IP anonymization, which anonymizes your IP address as soon as possible. We also turn off campaign tracking, further protecting your anonymity.
