One of those requirements is that we have to inform you properly about how we handle your data. We do this by means of this privacy and cookie statement.

On what grounds do we process your data?
The personal data which you provide to us is only processed on the basis of your consent. By accepting this privacy and cookie statement, you agree to our processing of your personal data as set out herein. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us using the contact details given below.
When and why do we process your data?
Registration for an account
We give you the option of creating an account. This can be done either by you yourself providing the data or by registering yourself through your social media account. In the latter case, you consent to us obtaining the necessary data from your social media account. You can always undo this link via the relevant social media platform.
The data which we obtain during registration is used solely to create and make available an account. In the first instance, this involves only your email address and a self-selected password. Your account can then be supplemented by your name (first and last names) and the country in which you live. The IP address from the device with which you visit the Website is also processed automatically for security purposes. All orders which you place from your account are also recorded in your account under order history.
We process and retain your account and the personal data linked to it as long as your account is not removed. Should you wish to remove your account, you can do this by sending a request to us via the contact details below.
The placement and handling of an order
When you place an order with us, we use your personal data so that we are able to handle the order properly. Your email address, among other things, is then used to supply your order (the code) and/or send an order confirmation.
For this purpose, we use the data necessary for the performance of the agreement, such as your name and email address. In addition, we retain the order data for up to seven years after the order was completed.
Giving a gift to a third party
When you place an order with us you have the option within the ordering process to indicate that you want to give the code or voucher to a third party as a gift. The name and email address of this third party are used for the purposes of sending the gift digitally.
We use the data necessary to perform the agreement which we have with you, such as the name and email address of the third party. We retain this data up until the point at which the gift is sent to the third party.
We inform the third party to whom the gift was sent about what we do with personal data.
You hereby confirm that you have secured directly from the third party all necessary consents, permissions and approvals, as required under applicable law and as needed by us, to use the third party data to provide the gift.
Information for you as the third party receiving the gift:
- We use your data from you as the recipient of the gift because a friend of yours has indicated that he or she wants to give you a gift.
- We only use your name and e-mail address that we received from the friend to be able to send the gift digitally to you.
- We only use this data for this purpose and after sending the gift, this data is deleted.
- When sending the gift, we inform you who gave you the gift.
