COOKIES & PRIVACY POLICY

General information

We collect, process and store data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The information stored will not be sold or used for any other purposes than ensuring the best service possible.

PRIVACY POLICY

Sensitive information will never be disclosed to third parties unless you expressly give your consent. We never gather personal information unless it is provided by you, either by signing up for our newsletter or by creating an account. In these cases, we collect information such as your name, address, postal code, and email.

Personal data is used to implement the service for which it was collected. Additionally, this information is used to better understand you and other users of our website. This usage may include studies and analyses aimed at improving our marketing strategies, products, services, and technologies. We may disclose your personal information to partners such as our order system, the MailChimp newsletter system, and Google Analytics.

PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

Legislation requires that your personal information be kept secure and confidential. We store your personal information on highly secure servers located in controlled facilities. Our security is regularly checked to ensure that user information is handled securely, always taking your rights as a user into account. However, we cannot guarantee 100% security for data transmissions over the internet. This means there is a risk that unauthorized parties may gain access to information during electronic transmission and storage. Therefore, your personal information is submitted at your own risk. In the event of a security breach posing a high risk to you, such as discrimination, ID theft, financial loss, loss of reputation, or other significant inconveniences, we will notify you of the breach as soon as possible.

We have adopted internal information security guidelines to protect your personal information. These guidelines include measures that prevent unauthorized disclosure and access to your information. Regular backups are performed to avoid data loss, and we use encryption to protect the confidentiality and authenticity of your data during transmission.

Personal data is continuously deleted or anonymized when the purpose for which it was collected has been fulfilled.

Due to the rapid development of the internet, changes in our processing of personal data may be necessary. Therefore, we reserve the right to update and amend these personal data processing guidelines. If changes are made, the “last updated” date at the bottom of the page will be revised. In the case of substantial changes, we will notify you with a visible notice on our website.

YOUR RIGHTS

As an individual, you have the right to be forgotten according to the GDPR. This means you have the right to have your data deleted 'without undue delay'. If you wish to delete your personal information, we will remove all information that we are not legally required to retain.

If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent as an existing customer, you may withdraw this consent at any time, either in whole or in part. Personal data pertaining to potential new customers is collected only after obtaining consent and is deleted upon withdrawal of that consent.

Data pertaining to former customers is deleted 5 years after the end of the customer relationship, but not before the resolution of any pending cases or fulfillment of any outstanding obligations (e.g., warranty claims).

You also have the right to access the data that Profarma Direct has collected about you. If you wish to delete your data, please contact us at the following email: info@profarma-direct.com
