6. Transfer of your Personal Data outside the European Unio

In the event that the Personal Data is transferred to a country located outside the European Union, we commit ourselves to taking the technical and organisational measures required in order to guarantee an adequate level of security for your Data as if it had remained within the European Union.

Your bank details are stored by our payment partners, Hipay and Adyen. When you make purchases online, you are required to enter your bank details into the fields provided for that purpose.

If this is the case, you can tick the "Save your payment details" option when you pay for your order. You may, at any moment, ask us to delete the registered bank card by consulting your account, under the heading "My payment options", or by writing to us via our contact form.

Once your Personal Data is no longer required for these purposes or for archiving purposes in order to comply with our legal obligations or for the purposes of the applicable limitation, your data will be irreversibly anonymised.

You may, at any time, request that we erase all or part of your Data, object to its processing or request that it is restricted, in compliance with Article 4 above. In the event that you request for your Data to be erased, it will be erased from our database and stored in an archived form as described above.
