Why and on What Legal Basis we Use Personal Data
All processing and use of your personal data is justified.
The following is an overview of the justified legal grounds for processing personal data, and why we use your personal data:
- The processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or take steps to enter into a contract at your request:
- to provide you with documentation or communications which you have requested;
- to process and complete certain transactions involving the website, and more generally transactions involving our services;
- or to provide information you have requested;
- The processing is necessary for us to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation:
- to keep accounting records and evidence of on-line sales;
- to comply with EU trade sanctions laws;
- The processing is in our legitimate interests, which are not overridden by your interests and fundamental rights:
- to evaluate transactions involving the website or our services;
- to operate, evaluate, maintain, improve and develop the website (including by monitoring and analyzing trends,
- access to, and use of the website for advertising and marketing);
- to evaluate, improve and develop our services;
- to engage you about events, promotions, the website and our similar services (unless consent is required by local law);
- to send you marketing communications;
- to protect and ensure safety of the website and our confidential and proprietary information;
- to manage, protect against and investigate fraud, risk exposure, claims and other liabilities, including but not limited to violation of our contract terms or laws or regulations;
- to share your personal data with third parties in connection with potential or actual sale of our company or any of our assets, or those of any affiliated company, in which case personal data held by us about our users may be one of the transferred assets;
- You have consented to the processing:
- to market to you where consent is required by local law.
When the justification for processing is our legitimate interests, those interests are to use supplier, customer and website user data to conduct and develop our business activities with them and with others, while limiting the use of their personal data to those purposes that strictly support the conduct and development of our business within the reasonable expectation of the individuals concerned.
International Transfers
We will always take steps to ensure that any international transfer of information is carefully managed to protect your rights and interests.
We will ensure that transfers outside your country are subject to additional safeguards required under local law – for example, the EU Model Clauses pursuant to Article 46(2) of the GDPR.
You have the right to ask us for more information about the safeguards we have put in place as mentioned above. Contact us as if you would like further information or to request a copy where the safeguard is documented (which may be redacted to ensure confidentiality).

We also appoint third party service providers (who will operate under our instructions) to assist us in providing information, products or services to you, in conducting and managing our business, or in managing and improving our products, services or the website. We share your personal data with these affiliates and third parties to perform services, subject to appropriate contractual restrictions and security measures.

Retention of Your Personal Data
We apply a general rule of keeping personal data only for as long as required to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. In general, we retain your personal data for a period of time corresponding to a statute of limitation setting out the period during which legal claims may be filed in court. For example, we’ll retain your personal data during the statute of limitation period, to maintain an accurate record of your dealings with us and, as applicable, assert or defend against a legal claim. However, in some circumstances we may retain personal data for other periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and accounting requirements, or if required to do so by a legal process, legal authority, or other governmental entity having authority to make the request, for so long as required. With respect to marketing, we retain your personal data for 8 years after your last request for service or other contact you initiate.

- Data portability – where we are relying (as the justification for processing) upon your consent, or the fact that the processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract, and the personal data is processed by automatic means, you have the right to receive all such personal data which you have provided us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and also to require us to transmit it to another controller where this is technically feasible.

- Right to object to direct marketing (including profiling) – you have the right to object to our use of your personal data (including profiling) for direct marketing purposes, such as when we use your personal data to invite you to our promotional events.
