For purposes of customer-facing processing connected with this store, v-trendyfashion.shop acts as the responsible merchant/controller for the relevant personal data.

Privacy enquiries may be sent to:

1. Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how you interact with our store, we may process information such as:

• your name;
• billing and delivery information;
• email address and other contact details;
• order information;
• products purchased or viewed;
• transaction and payment-related information;
• customer service communications;
• returns and refund information;
• device and browser information;
• IP address;
• website activity;
• cookie and similar technology information;
• fraud-prevention information; and
• information you voluntarily provide to us.

Payment card information may be processed directly by payment service providers rather than stored in full by us.

2. How We Collect Information

We may collect personal data directly from you when you place an order, create or use store functionality, contact customer service, submit information, or otherwise interact with the website.

We may also receive certain information automatically through cookies, server logs, pixels, analytics technologies, and similar tools.

Information may additionally be received from Shopify, payment providers, shipping providers, fraud-prevention providers, or other companies involved in providing our services.

3. Purposes of Processing

We may process personal data to:

• provide and operate the online store;
• process and fulfill orders;
• collect and process payments;
• arrange shipping and delivery;
• provide order notifications;
• process returns and refunds;
• respond to customer enquiries;
• prevent fraud and misuse;
• secure our website and transactions;
• comply with accounting, tax, consumer protection, and other legal obligations;
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
• improve our store and services;
• analyze website performance; and
• conduct marketing where legally permitted.

4. Legal Bases Under the GDPR

Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process personal data on one or more lawful bases.

Processing necessary to handle an order or provide requested services may be based on performance of a contract or steps requested before entering into a contract.

Processing necessary to satisfy legal obligations may be based on compliance with applicable law.

Certain security, fraud-prevention, service-improvement, and business-administration activities may be based on legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Where consent is legally required, including for certain marketing or non-essential tracking technologies, processing may be based on your consent. You may withdraw consent for future processing where applicable.

5. Shopify

Our store is powered by Shopify.

Shopify provides the e-commerce infrastructure that allows us to operate the store, process orders, and provide related functionality.

As part of providing these services, Shopify may process personal data relating to customers and visitors.

Shopify's current privacy materials explain that data may be processed internationally and that European personal data may initially be received by Shopify International Limited in Ireland. Shopify also maintains contractual data-processing provisions for merchants.

6. Service Providers and Data Recipients

We may disclose personal data to service providers where reasonably necessary for store operations.

These may include providers supporting:

payment processing, hosting, Shopify services, shipping, order fulfillment, customer support, fraud prevention, analytics, IT security, accounting, professional advice, and other business functions.

We require personal data to be handled in accordance with applicable contractual and legal obligations where required.

We may also disclose information where necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful governmental requests, protect legal rights, investigate fraud, or participate in a business reorganization.

7. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside Germany or the European Economic Area.

Where GDPR restrictions on international transfers apply, transfers will be handled using a legally recognized transfer mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision, appropriate contractual safeguards, or another lawful mechanism.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

v-trendyfashion.shop may use cookies and similar technologies necessary to operate the website, maintain sessions, remember choices, process shopping-cart functionality, prevent fraud, and provide other essential functions.

Non-essential analytics, advertising, or personalization technologies will be handled in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

Where consent is required, users should be provided with an opportunity to accept or reject relevant non-essential technologies.

Shopify's current European requirements also state that merchants must obtain consent for targeted advertising and certain cookies or local-storage technologies where applicable.

9. Marketing Communications

We may send promotional communications where permitted by applicable law.

Where marketing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent.

Where an email contains an unsubscribe mechanism, you may also use that mechanism to stop relevant marketing messages.

Administrative communications concerning an existing order or transaction are not necessarily marketing communications.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and as required by applicable law.

Retention periods may vary depending on contractual, accounting, tax, consumer protection, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or other legal requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable organizational and technical measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Customers should also protect their devices, passwords, and account credentials.

12. Your GDPR Rights

Subject to applicable conditions and limitations, individuals may have rights including:

• access to personal data;
• correction of inaccurate personal data;
• deletion of personal data;
• restriction of processing;
• objection to certain processing;
• data portability;
• withdrawal of consent;
• information about applicable data processing; and
• the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

info@v-trendyfashion.shop

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

13. Automated Processing

Where automated tools are used for fraud detection, security, product recommendations, or other store functionality, we will process personal data in accordance with applicable law.

We will not intentionally rely on solely automated decision-making producing legal or similarly significant effects where prohibited without providing the protections required by law.

14. Children's Privacy

Our store is not intended to knowingly collect personal data from children where parental authorization or another lawful basis would be required.

If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact info@v-trendyfashion.shop.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, services, technologies, or legal obligations change.

The current version will be published on v-trendyfashion.shop together with its latest revision date.
