1. Data Controller

We are the controller responsible for your personal data processing. No dedicated Data Protection Officer is appointed for our company.

2. What data we collect & purposes

We only collect data necessary for our belt‑selling online shop:

• Order‑related data: your name, delivery/billing address, email, phone number. Used for order processing, delivery, invoice and customer service (legal basis: performance of contract, Art.6(1)(b) GDPR).
• Payment data: handled by authorised payment service providers. We do not store full credit‑card details.
• Website technical data: IP‑address, browser‑information, device data and cookies. Necessary for website stability, security and statistics. Essential cookies run automatically; non‑essential cookies require your consent.
• Communication data: emails/messages you send us via contact forms, for replying to your inquiries.
• Newsletter (opt‑in only): email address, only if you explicitly subscribe for marketing about our belts.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Recipients of your data

Your personal data may be shared only with:

• Payment service providers;
• Shipping / logistics partners to deliver your belt orders;
• IT‑service providers hosting our web‑shop.

All third‑party processors follow GDPR data‑protection rules. No data will be transferred outside EU/EEA without proper safeguards.

4. Data retention

• Order‑related data: kept for statutory accounting & tax retention period (normally 7 years after order completion).
• Customer inquiry messages: kept until request fully resolved, then deleted.
• Newsletter subscriber data: kept until you unsubscribe.
• Website log‑files: stored for limited short period and then erased.

After expiry, personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

• Right to rectify incorrect personal information
• Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
