5 From where do we receive data?

For the purposes described in this privacy notice, personal data may also be collected and updated from publicly available sources and based on information received from the authorities or other third parties within the limits of the applicable laws and regulations. Such updating of data is performed manually or by automated means.

6 To whom do we disclose data, and do we transfer data outside the EU or the EEA?

When ordering from our web store, data is passed on to the payment service provider enabling the web store payment and/or to the companies providing transport services. These web store partners are presented on our web store or in the order confirmation.

We use subcontractors that process personal data on our behalf. We have outsourced the IT-management to an external service provider, on whose administrated and secured server the personal data is stored. We have also outsourced the storing and logistics of the products of our web store to an outside service provider that processes the personal data of the customers of our web store on our behalf.

The personal data of the customers of our web store is transferred outside the EU/EEA such as to the USA or Canada. When personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we make sure that the subcontractor has committed to use the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses and/or is covered by the Privacy Shield -system.

7 How do we protect the data and how long do we store them?

Only those of our employees, who on behalf of their work are entitled to process customer data, are entitled to use the system containing personal data. Each user has a personal username and password to the system. The data is collected into databases that are protected by firewalls, passwords and other technical measures. The databases and their backup copies are in locked premises and can be accessed only by certain pre-designated persons.

We do not retain personal data for longer than necessary for the purposes of processing personal data and for the period required by mandatory legislation such as the accounting legislation. We assess the need to store data regularly considering the applicable legislation. Additionally, we take all the reasonable measures to ensure that no data, which is incompatible for the purposes of the processing, obsolete or incorrect, is stored in the register. We correct or erase such data without delay.
