Privacy Policy

DATA PROTECTION

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on May 25, 2018, and imposes new requirements on how personal data is processed. Below, we have prepared information and contact details for you in case you wish to modify the data you provide on this website.

WHAT IS GDPR AND WHY IS IT NECESSARY?

GDPR forces businesses to better organize their data structures, minimize collected personal data, conceptualize data protection, and reorganize their structures. Data administrators are required to know where their users’ data is stored and who has access to it. From a user perspective, GDPR aims to ensure that they have control over the data they provide or have already provided in order to receive an online service. GDPR affects any business that processes data from users in the EU.

WHY ARE COOKIES AND/OR PERSONAL DATA NECESSARY ON THIS SITE?

The functionality of any website depends on how well it can use the information provided by you. Depending on whether you consent to the administration of your personal data on this site, certain functionalities may be accessible to you. For example:

  • Cookies are necessary to store order steps, logins, login details, comments, social media sharing, site preferences, and settings (where applicable). Without them, these features would not be possible, and the site would not function properly. Even YouTube videos may not load without cookies.
  • Personal profile data, such as name, phone number, and email, are required for placing an order, issuing purchase-sale protocols, providing purchase details, and ensuring good conditions for future purchases.
  • Marketing cookies and data are necessary for delivering advertisements that match your interests, targeting and business marketing, and providing personalized content and promotional notifications.

WHAT RIGHTS DO I HAVE?

The new regulation treats almost all statistical data as personal information through which the user can be identified. Previously, tools like adblockers and browser add-ons were needed to prevent this information from being collected. Now, websites operating within the EU must explicitly obtain user consent to process their data. Users must be able to edit, delete, and save their personal data from websites and, most importantly, be notified when their security is compromised. They should have access to an explanation of how their data is stored, what security measures are in place, and who has access to it. This information can be found further down this page.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

By clicking the “I Agree” button in the notification about the regulation, you authorize this website’s administrators to use pseudo-anonymous data about you as part of global traffic statistics. These data include IP address, referrer, browser/OS details, etc. If you agree, these data will be used and provided only to site traffic analytics tools, conversion tracking, and direct remarketing through platforms such as Google and/or Facebook. If you do not agree, your data will not be stored, sent to third parties/tools, or processed.

By registering on this site (where applicable), you may consent to the administrators notifying you in a pre-agreed manner about promotions, campaigns, etc.

HOW CAN I EXERCISE MY RIGHTS ON THIS WEBSITE?

By clicking on your username/profile link, you can edit your profile. If you wish to withdraw your consent, delete your profile, or request all data associated with your profile, you can do so via email to the website administrators. Contact details can be found on the “Contact Us” page. The response time is one month. In case of doubt, additional information may be requested to identify you as the subject of the requested personal data.

WHERE AND HOW IS PERSONAL DATA STORED? WHAT SECURITY MEASURES ARE IMPLEMENTED?

The data you provide on this website is transmitted via HTTPS—the most secure method for encrypting user data sent to the server. In our database, passwords and other sensitive information (if any) are further processed through hashing/encryption. Server premises are accessible only to administrators with special access and comply with EU regulations, including being located within the EU.

FOR WHAT PURPOSES IS DATA PROCESSED?

The pseudo-anonymized data you provide by agreeing to these terms is used for reporting activities, site traffic analysis, user interest orientation, and as a starting point for the website’s future development. The consent data is stored in cookies on your browser. Data submitted through contact forms, such as email and name, is stored solely for responding to inquiries and maintaining inquiry history. Upon request, they can be anonymized. Data provided through registration forms is used to identify you as a specific user and grant access to richer and more personalized website information/resources.

HOW LONG WILL DATA BE STORED?

  • Anonymous data is stored for as long as necessary to ensure the requested functionality.
  • Data provided for registration purposes and for receiving services or functionalities of the site are stored lawfully for statistical and technical reference purposes.

WHO ARE THE USERS AND RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA?

Data received directly from your web browser (when you click “I Agree”) is used for improving service, site structure, and functionality and is sent to site traffic and audience analytics systems. These data may be used for anonymous direct remarketing if you allow it. The tools we use and their policies are as follows:

  • G-Suite / Google Analytics, Facebook. If you subscribe to the newsletter, the data you provide will be used for notifications about promotions, updates, and messages related to the website. If you register (where applicable), you agree to the site’s terms of service, and your data will be used for providing services related to site registration.
  • Your payment details provided to third-party payment processors (such as PayPal, ePay, etc.) are subject to their terms of use and service provisions. We do not store your payment information!
  • Generally, only this website’s administrators have access to your data, including technical development personnel.
