E-mail commercial communication is sent to you upon your consent. You can easily unsubscribe from our newsletters by adjusting your user profile settings or using our contact form.

Improving our service

By analysing your order history and web behavior, we are able to offer you more relevant offers for additional goods, such as accessories for the products you have purchased. This allows us to display products that are directly relevant to your needs and interests in certain places. We may also use various tools such as A/B testing, Google Analytics, Facebook Analytics, and other similar techniques to optimise our website and personalised advertising on third-party websites.

Legal Grounds for Processing of Personal Data

A large part of your personal data are needed by us in order to conclude the purchase agreement or another contract for goods and services you intend to purchase. After the agreement is concluded, we process your personal data in order to duly deliver the purchased goods, or to render the purchased services. Based on these legal grounds, we therefore primarily process billing and delivery data.

Legitimate Interest

We also use your personal data to provide you the relevant content, which may be of interest to you. On the grounds of legitimate interest, we process particular personal data, which is processed automatically, and cookies.

We may also send you e-mails and text messages, or call you on the same legal grounds.

In case we process your personal data on these legal grounds, you are entitled to raise an objection to such processing using our contact form.

Consent

For the purposes of e-mail marketing and telemarketing, we process your personal data upon your consent. If you do not grant your consent and you are our customer, we can send you commercial newsletter (or give you telemarketing calls) even without your consent. In any case, you are entitled to reject such marketing communication simply by (a) adjusting your user profile settings, (b) using our contact form, or c) calling our hotline at +421 910 993 301.

If you grant your consent to the personal data processing, you are entitled to withdraw it at any time through our contact form.

Transfer of Personal Data to Third Parties

Your personal data is transferred to third parties in the following cases:

Delivery of goods

The carrier chosen by you would not be able to deliver the goods ordered unless we transfer the information on where and to whom the goods should be delivered. This data is transferred to the carrier as entered in the order. Such data includes in particular your first name and surname, delivery address, telephone number where the carrier may contact you, and the amount to be paid on delivery, as the case may be. The carrier is only entitled to process the personal data we transfer for the purposes of delivery; the carrier must delete the personal data promptly afterwards.

Delivery of goods stored for us by a contractual partner

If you order goods which are stored by our contractual partner, we have to transfer your personal data to this contractual partner who shall complete the order. Such data include sin particular your first name and surname, delivery address, telephone number where the carrier may contact you, and the amount to be paid on delivery, as the case may be. The contractual partner has to transfer the data to the carrier that shall deliver the goods; otherwise the carrier would not be able to make the delivery. The contractual partner that stores the goods for us and the carrier are only entitled to process the personal data we transfer to them for the purposes of the goods storage/delivery; they must delete the personal data promptly afterwards.

Payment cards

Our company does not keep data about the payment cards you use to pay with us (unless it is explicitly stored, see the next paragraph below). Only the secure payment gateway WooPayments and the relevant banking institutions have data about your payment cards. When you pay by payment card from your computer, communication with the payment gateway server is done via an iframe (i.e. the payment gateway page is displayed directly on our website without the need for further redirection).
If you have stored your payment card to speed up your future purchases on our online shop, we only keep basic information such as the first and last few digits of your payment card. To delete this data, visit your user profile settings and then simply delete the payment card data (Account Settings > Payment Cards > Delete).

Commercial communication

In case we send commercial communication (e.g. via e-mail or text message) or if we use telemarketing, we may use a third party to distribute the messages or make phone calls. Such third party is bound by the obligation of confidentiality and is not allowed to use your personal data for any other purpose.

Reviews of products or services via Heureka.sk

When we send purchase evaluation surveys, we may provide your data, including your email address and information about the purchased goods or services, to Heureka Group a.s., the operator of the Heureka.sk portal.

Claims

To handle your claim effectively and efficiently, the service centre may require additional information regarding the defect, its manifestations, or other relevant information. In this regard, we may provide the service centre handling the defective product with the details you have submitted on the complaint form, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.

What Is the Period for Processing Your Personal Data?

We shall process your personal data for the entire duration of the contractual relationship between you and us.

In case your personal data processing is based on consent, your personal data shall be, in general, processed for 7 years or until such consent is withdrawn.

In case you subscribe to commercial communication, your personal data shall be processed for 7 years or until you express your disapproval via email.

Please note that the personal data necessary for the due rendering of services or for the fulfillment of all our duties, ensuing either from the contract between us or from generally binding legal regulations have to be processed regardless of whether you granted your consent for the period set out in the relevant legal regulations and in compliance therewith (e.g. tax documents must be processed for at least 10 years).

The data obtained through the user account or in a similar way are processed for the period of using our services and then usually for 5 years after cancellation. Basic identification data and the information why the user account was canceled or information which is a part of operational advance deposits are usually stored for the relevant period.

Cookies: After 30 days, we delete cookies that track user behavior, but older data remains available in an anonymised form in Google Analytics.

Your personal data is safe with us. We have adopted adequate technical and organisational measures in order to prevent unauthorised access and misuse of your personal data.

At Feketeleves we are concerned about the protection of your personal data. Therefore we regularly check and improve our security.
