Your phone number, name and purchase information will be shared with our SMS platform SMSBump Inc., a European Union company with offices in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Upon sending the text messages, your phone number will be passed to this text messages operator to fulfill their delivery.

6. PRINCIPLE FOR PROCESSING DATA

While Processing Data, the Company will respect the following general principle:

a) Fairness and lawfulness

When Processing Data, the individual rights of the Data subjects must be protected. Data must be collected and processed lawfully, in a fair manner, in good faith and must be proportionate to the objective.

b) Restriction to a specific purpose

Data handled by the Company should be adequate and relevant to the purpose for which they are collected and processed. This requires, in particular, ensuring that the types of Data collected are not excessive for the purpose for which they are collected. Subsequent changes to the purpose are only possible to a limited extent and require substantiation.

c) Transparency

The Data subject must be informed of how his/her Data is being handled. When the Data is collected, the Data subject must be informed of:

• The existence of the present Notice;
• The identity of the Data Controller;
• The purpose of Data Processing;
• Third-parties to whom the Data might be transmitted.

d) Consent of the Data subject

Data must be collected directly from the individual concerned and the Consent of the Data subject may be required before Processing Data. The Consent must be obtained in writing or electronically for the purposes of documentation. The Consent is valid only if given voluntarily. If, for any reason, the Consent of the Data subject is not given before Processing Data, this one should be secured in writing as soon as possible after the beginning of the Processing.

Data can be processed without Consent if it is necessary to enforce a legitimate interest of the Company. Legitimate interests are generally of a legal (e.g. filing, enforcing or defending against legal claims) or financial (e.g. valuation of companies) nature. The Processing of Data is also permitted if national legislation requests, requires or allows this.

e) Accuracy

Data kept on file must be correct and if necessary, kept up to date. Inaccurate or incomplete Data should not be kept on file and deleted.

7. DO NOT TRACK

Please note that we do not alter our Website’s data collection and use practices when we see a “Do Not Track” signal from your browser.

8. YOUR RIGHTS

GDPR

You have the right to request access to or information about the Data relating to you which is processed by the Company.

Where provided by law, you, your successors, representatives and/or proxies may (i) request deletion, correction or revision of your Data; (ii) oppose the Data Processing; (iii) limit the use and Disclosure of your Data; and (iv) revoke Consent to any of our Data Processing activities, if the Company is relying on your Consent and does not have another legal basis to continue Processing your Data.

These rights can be exercised by contacting us through the contact information provided in Section 17 hereunder, attaching a copy of your ID. If the request is submitted by a person other than you, without providing evidence that the request is legitimately made on your behalf, the request will be rejected.

The request is free of charge unless your request is unfounded or excessive (e.g. if you have already requested such Personal Information multiple times in the last twelve (12) months or if the request generates an extremely high workload). In such cases, the Company may charge you a reasonable request fee according to applicable laws.

The Company may refuse, restrict or defer the provision of Data where it has the right to do so, for example if fulfilling the request will adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

CCPA

If you are a resident of California, you have the right to access the Data we hold about you (also known as the “Right to Know”), to port it to a new service, and to ask that your Data be corrected, updated, or erased. If you would like to exercise these rights, or if you would like to designate an authorized agent to submit these requests on your behalf, please contact us through the contact information provided in Section 17 hereunder.

9. STORAGE OF YOUR DATA

Your Data will be stored in Europe. You agree that the Company may store your Data in any country of the EEA, including Switzerland.

The storage as well as the Processing of your Data may require that your Data are ultimately transferred/transmitted to, and/or stored at a destination outside of your country of residence, notably Switzerland. Where permitted by law, by accepting the terms of this Notice, you agree to such transferring, transmission, storing and/or Processing. You also agree that such activities may take place to or in countries offering a lower level of protection than your country of residence.

10. DATA RETENTION

When you place an order through the Website, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

In accordance with applicable laws, the Company will use your Data for as long as necessary to satisfy the purposes for which your Data was collected or to comply with applicable legal requirements.

11. PORTABILITY OF YOUR DATA

You also have the right to receive your Data, which you have provided to the Company with, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the Company.

These rights can be exercised by contacting us through the contact information provided in Section 17 hereunder, attaching a copy of your ID. If the request is submitted by a person other than you, without providing evidence that the request is legitimately made on your behalf, the request will be rejected.

The request is free of charge unless your request is unfounded or excessive (e.g. if you have already requested such Personal Information multiple times in the last twelve months or if the request generates an extremely high workload). In such cases, the Company may charge you a reasonable request fee according to applicable laws.

The Company may refuse, restrict or defer the provision of Data where it has the right to do so, for example if fulfilling the request will adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

12. PRIVACY BY DESIGN AND BY DEFAULT

The Company will, both at the time of the determination of the means for Processing and at the time of the Processing itself, implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, such as pseudonymization, which are designed to implement data-protection principles, such as data minimization, in an effective manner and to integrate the necessary safeguards into the Processing in order to meet the requirements of the GDPR and protect your rights.

The Company will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures for ensuring that, by default, only Data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the Processing are processed. This obligation applies to the amount of your Data we collect, the extent of their Processing, the period of storage and their accessibility. These measures will ensure that by default your Data are not made accessible without your intervention to an indefinite number of third parties.
