Privacy policy

What do we do with your information?

When you purchase something from our store, we collect the personal information you provide as part of the buying and selling process, such as your name, address and email address.

When you visit our store, we also automatically receive your computer's IP address. This helps us understand which browser and operating system you use. We may also receive information about how you use our website, which we may share with third-party partners where necessary.

Email marketing (if applicable): With your consent, we may send you emails about our store, new products and other updates.


Consent

When you place an order, we use your information to complete the purchase, deliver the item and handle any returns.

If we ask for your personal information for other reasons, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your consent or give you the opportunity to say no.

How can I withdraw my consent?

If you change your mind after giving consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Contact us at info@blahovita.sk to do so.


Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law or if you violate our terms.


Shopify

Our store is hosted by Shopify International Limited (Ireland). They provide an e-commerce platform that allows us to sell products and services to you.

Your information is stored through Shopify's data storage, databases and general Shopify applications. The information is stored on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment method to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card details. These are encrypted in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).

All direct payment gateways adhere to the PCI-DSS standards managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, an organisation formed by Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

These standards help ensure that your credit card information is handled securely.

For more information, you can also read Shopify's terms of service or privacy policy.


Third-party services

We only share the information necessary to provide the service:

  • Shopify (online store platform and payments)
  • Payment providers (card payments)
  • Our supplier and logistics partner, who receives your name, address and phone number to ship your order
  • Carriers who deliver your package
  • Google and Meta (advertising and measurement, only with your consent via cookies)

Some of these providers process data outside the EU/EEA, including in the United States and China. These transfers are based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and share your information to the extent necessary to provide their services.

Some third-party providers, such as payment gateways and payment processors, have their own privacy policies. We recommend that you read them to understand how they use your information.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or app, this privacy policy and our terms no longer apply.


Links

When you click on links in our store, they may take you to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and recommend that you read their privacy policies.


Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from being lost, misused, accessed, disclosed or altered without permission, or destroyed.

Payment information is processed by the payment provider and is not stored by us.


Cookies

We use cookies that are necessary for the online store to function and, with your consent, cookies for analytics and advertising from Google and Meta. You can change your consent at any time via the cookie banner.


Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this privacy policy at any time, so we recommend that you check it regularly. Changes take effect immediately once published on the website. If we make material changes, we will inform you here so that you know what information we collect, how we use it and when we may share it.

If our store is acquired by or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we can continue to sell products to you.

Legal basis
We process your information to fulfil the purchase contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)), to meet legal obligations such as accounting and VAT (Art. 6(1)(c)), and for marketing and analytics and advertising cookies only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).

How long we keep information
Order and accounting information is kept for as long as accounting law requires. Information used for marketing is kept until you withdraw your consent.

You have the right to access, rectify and erase your personal data, the right to restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Contact us at info@blahovita.sk.
