When you place an order on our website, you may choose a third-party payment processor to handle your payment securely. These processors have their own privacy policies that govern the collection and processing of your payment information.
Your banking, debit card, credit card, or other payment details are used solely for processing payment refunds to you. These third-party payment processors handle your information, including payment details, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

If the Controller grants general consent, we will inform them of any new sub-processor and establish contractual obligations with the sub-processor, taking full responsibility for their actions and omissions.
Upon written request from the Controller, we will delete or return all Personal Information or data after the end of the service provision, unless a legal obligation or basis requires us to retain such data for further processing.
Our foremost commitment is to ensure security and compliance by implementing essential technical and organizational measures to protect data security. We are dedicated to transparency, providing the Controller with all the requisite information to demonstrate our adherence to our obligations. Moreover, we facilitate audits and inspections by the Controller or their appointed auditor to ensure that our processing activities comply with regulatory requirements and protect data subject rights.
We retain the Personal Information you provide as long as your Account is active, or as needed to provide the Service(s), comply with legal obligations, maintain accurate financial records, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
