When contacting you for any of the above purposes we may do so by phone or email. Your data will be treated in accordance with applicable data protection law.

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS
We may rely on legitimate interests to process your personal information, provided that your interests do not override our own. Where we rely on legitimate interests, these interests are:
- to keep our records updated and to study how our Website and other services are used
- to administer and protect our business and web presence (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting and hosting)

- to grow our business
KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SAFE
We employ a variety of physical and technical measures to keep your personal information safe and to prevent unauthorised access to, use or disclosure of it. We control who has access to your data (using both physical and electronic means).
STORAGE AND RETENTION
Where do we store your personal information?
Electronic data and databases are stored on secure servers in the Netherlands and we also use Mailchimp, a US company who participates and complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Network.
How long do we keep it?
We collect and store personal information for purposes connected with our business. As such, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary for those purposes.
If you place an order we will keep your personal information for seven years from the date of your interaction with us. We feel that seven years is an acceptable time-period, to allow for any queries or cases to support a claim or otherwise. This is also the period within which tax collecting authorities may demand to see and audit our records.
DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may need to disclose your personal information to third parties. Where we do so, any such disclosure will be on the basis that these third parties are required to keep the data we give them confidential and secure and will not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for us.
If we choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets, we may disclose your personal information to the new owners of the business. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this policy.
DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY LAW
We are subject to the law like everyone else. We may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
YOUR RIGHTS
We want you to remain in control of your personal information. Part of this is making sure you understand your legal rights, which are as follows:
- where your personal information is processed on the basis of consent, the right to withdraw that consent
- the right to confirmation as to whether or not we are holding any of your personal information and, if we are, to obtain a copy of it
- from 25 May 2018, the right to have certain data provided to you in a portable electronic format (where technically feasible)
- the right to have inaccurate personal information rectified
- the right to object to your personal information being used for marketing or profiling, or on the basis of our or a third party’s legitimate interest
- the right to restrict how your personal information is used
- the right to be forgotten, which allows you to have your personal information erased in certain circumstances (though this is not an absolute right and may not apply if we need to continue using it for a lawful reason)
If you would like further information about any of your rights or wish to exercise them, please contact us using the details given in section 1.
Please keep in mind that there are exceptions to the rights above and, though we will always try to respond to your satisfaction, there may be situations where we are unable to do so (for example, because the information no longer exists or there is an exception which applies to your request). If you are not happy with our response, or you believe that your data protection or privacy rights have been infringed, you should contact the NL Information Commissioner’s Office, which oversees data protection compliance in the NL.
