  • Your name, your address, your date of birth, your e-mail address and your telephone number, your username and your encrypted password for the customer account,
  • the products you have purchased, the services used, payment information (e.g. bank details, payment history),

2.2 Purposes of the processing We collect and use personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and its content and to process your order or to provide further services, to answer contact requests, reach measurement and marketing, as well as for possible security measures. 2.3 Legal basis for processing your personal data In accordance with art. 13 of the GDPR, we hereby inform you about the legal basis for the data processing carried out by us. If the legal basis is not separately stated in the data protection declaration, the processing for one or more of the purposes stated below will be carried out on the basis of the legal regulations indicated in each individual case:
  • Execution of our services (in particular for the execution of contracts) or for the execution of pre-contractual measures, at your request (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR),
  • Compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR),
  • Protection of our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of third parties (Art. 6, par. 1 lit. f of the GDPR),
or, if you have given us your consent, on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sub a and art. 7 sub f of the GDPR). 2.4 Dissemination of your data For the processing of your inquiry and your orders, it may be necessary to pass on your personal data to other affiliated companies within the Mega Home Market group of companies or to third parties, including outside the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA). Your data will be passed on by us in the following cases and on the basis of the legal consent stated in each case:
  • if for the execution of the agreement in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR, transfer of the data to third parties or companies affiliated with us is necessary; this also includes, for example, data transfers to payment service providers, carriers, logistics companies and suppliers if they serve you directly,
  • you have consented to the transfer of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR),
  • on the basis of our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR); this includes, for example, data transfers in the context of an assignment of claims or to credit rating agencies for credit assessment and to marketing partners,
  • if the transfer is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR).
All affiliated companies of the Mega Home Market group of companies and third parties to whom we transfer your personal data may only use this data for the purposes stated above. In addition, they are obliged to only process the data in accordance with our specifications and the relevant data protection laws. In some cases we use third party service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and put into use by us and are bound by our instructions. In addition, we are contractually entitled to verify compliance with the respective contractual and legal regulations by the service providers. The third-party service providers can be classified into the following categories:
  • Service providers for the hosting, management and maintenance of our websites,
  • order processing service providers, in particular logistics service providers,
  • customer service providers,
  • banks and other payment service providers, including for payment processing,
  • suppliers for email newsletters and suppliers for catalogs or other direct mail,
  • marketing and web analytics service providers.
If we transfer personal data to recipients in so-called ‘third countries’, ie countries outside the EU or the EEA, where a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be automatically assumed and where we are not authorized to process data on the basis of a legal obligation, we ensure that the necessary adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in the relevant third country or with the recipient in the third country. This may in particular be the result of a so-called ‘equivalence decision’ by the European Commission, which establishes an appropriate general level of data protection for a particular third country. Alternatively, we can also base the data transfer on the so-called “EU standard clauses” agreed with a recipient or – in the case of recipients in the US – on compliance with the principles of the so-called “EU-US Privacy shield’. Information about the participants in the EU-US Privacy Shield can be found at: www.privacyshield.gov/list ; Information on the EU’s standard contractual clauses can be found here:  https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/NL/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32010D0087&from=DE  and information on the European Commission’s equivalence decisions :  https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en#dataprotectionincountriesoutsidetheeu . We will be happy to provide you with further information on the appropriate and appropriate safeguards for maintaining an appropriate level of data protection upon request. As part of the financing of the activities of Piritex Bvba, we partially transfer claims arising from the purchase agreements with you – our customers – to third parties. In the context of such a transfer, the personal data necessary for the identification of the respective claim will be transferred. The legal basis for the transmission of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR (legitimate interest). The recipients process the transferred data on their own responsibility and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations. For you as a customer, nothing changes in the processing of your contract with us. Mega Home Market remains your direct point of contact and has the right to accept your purchase prices. 2.5 Retention period and destruction of your personal data We will only store your data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose of processing. We store your data for contract processing until the expiry of the statutory or any contractual indemnification and warranty rights. After this period has expired, we will keep the data on the contractual relationship required by commercial and tax law for the legally determined periods. For this period (usually ten years from the conclusion of the contract), the data will only be processed again in the context of an audit by the tax authorities. For the further purposes pursued by us, please determine the duration of storage from the following arrangements.
  1. Data processing for creating a customer account
For each customer who registers on our website, we set up password-protected access to their stored inventory data (customer account). Here you can view details about your orders and manage your address details, bank details, the newsletter and other settings. With the function ‘Stay logged in’ we want to make your visit to our website as pleasant as possible. This feature allows you to use our services without having to log in each time. However, for security reasons, you will be asked to enter your password again, for example if you want to change your personal information or place an order. We recommend that you do not use the “Keep logged in” feature if the computer is used by multiple users. We use your data collected when opening a customer account to process orders, provide additional services ordered by you, provide payment options and process any refunds. The legal basis for the processing of personal data in connection with the creation of a customer account is Art. 6 para. 1, b GDPR. We delete the data collected and stored in connection with the customer account at the latest when you delete your customer account yourself or when you inform us that your customer account must be deleted. However, early deletion of your personal data is not possible if and insofar as the data is still necessary for contract processing or if legal provisions oblige us to further storage.

When you buy products through our webshop, we need your name, address and payment details, e-mail address and telephone number to process your order and to be able to communicate with you. We also use the email address for your identification (customer login). You will also receive your order and shipping confirmation via your email address. We process your data for the fulfillment of your orders, including any subsequent returns and warranty claims. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 par. 1 sub b of the GDPR (performance of the agreement).

We keep your data processed in this context for as long as we need it for the above processing purpose. The legal basis for the above-mentioned data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR (legitimate interest). 6.4 Right to object You can object at any time and free of charge to the use of data for advertising purposes for each respective communication channel separately and with effect for the future. This can be done by sending a text message (e-mail, fax, letter) to the contact details specified in point 11.

After you have installed our Mega Home Market app, we anonymously analyze your behavior in the Mega Home Market iOS and Android app using the technologies below. If you don’t want this, you can delete the collected data and manually reset your device ID to prevent interest-based advertising on your mobile devices: iOS: Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Enable No Ad Tracking in Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Reset Ad ID Android: Settings > Google > Ads > ‘Disable personalized advertising’ Settings > Google > Ads > ‘Reset Advertising ID’ Adjust The Mega Home Market app uses the app analysis tool Adjust from adjust GmbH, Saarbrücker Straße 37A, 10405 Berlin (Adjust). When you install the Mega Home Market app, Adjust saves the installation and event data from your iOS or Android app. This allows us to understand how our users interact with our apps. It also allows us to analyze and improve our mobile advertising campaigns. For this analysis, Adjust uses the IDFA or Google Play Services ID, as well as your anonymized IP and MAC address. The data is anonymised on one side, ie it is not possible to identify you or your mobile device. We use this tool on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR (legitimate interest in analyzing and improving our mobile advertising campaigns). If you do not want tracking by Adjust, iOS: https://gdpr.adjust.com/gdpr_forget_device?app_token=m96meplrzetf&idfa=XXXXX&s2s=1 ; at the end of the URL you need to put the IDFA of your mobile device. To determine the IDFA, you can download the Adjust Insights App from the Apple App Store. Android: https://gdpr.adjust.com/gdpr_forget_device?’app_token=svmmr7wbmj53&android_id=XXXXX&s2s=1 ; To get the Google Advertising ID (“Google Advertiser Identifier”), you can download the Adjust Insights App from the Play Store or check your mobile device settings: Settings > Google > Ads > My Advertising ID You can also do so at the following URL:  https://www.adjust.com/opt-out/ . braze We

as “Android Advertising ID” and “Advertising Identifier for iOS” (to identify users’ mobile devices), the usage behavior and usage pattern of our services are determined. At no time will the data

permitted by you – to send targeted push messages to users of our apps with information about our services or specific advertisements. The information generated from the pseudonymous ID about your use

Facebook SDK In the Mega Home Market app, we use the Facebook Software Development Kit (Facebook SDK) from Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Facebook SDK is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to analyze and optimize the advertising success of mobile app advertising campaigns launched via Facebook, for example by not displaying an app’s advertising on the devices it is already installed on. Facebook SDK also allows various reports on the installation of the app and the success of the advertising campaigns. In addition, individual activities (events) of the user can be analyzed within the app to, for example, define the target group for advertising campaigns more precisely and better. Facebook’s privacy policy can be found at: https://nl-nl.facebook.com/about/privacy/update?ref=old_policy . If you do not want the Facebook SDK to process your data, please make the settings described above for iOS and Android on your devices.
