What is personal data and what is processing of personal data? 

Personal data is any information that can be directly or indirectly attributed to a natural person. For example, images and audio recordings processed on a computer can be personal data even if no names are mentioned. Encrypted data and different types of electronic identities (e.g. IP numbers) are personal data if they can be linked to natural persons. 

Processing of personal data is anything that happens to the personal data. Any action taken with personal data constitutes processing, whether or not it is carried out by automated means. Common processing operations include collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, processing, transmission and erasure.

  1. Website provider
  2. Transport (logistics companies and freight forwarders)

When your personal data is shared with data processors, it is only for purposes that are compatible with the purposes for which we have collected the information (e.g. to fulfil our obligations under the purchase agreement). We check all data processors to ensure that they can provide sufficient guarantees regarding the security and confidentiality of personal data.

  2. Companies involved in the general transport of goods (logistics companies and freight forwarders).
  3. Companies offering payment solutions (card acquirers, banks and other payment service providers).
