The processing of your Personal Data set out above is permitted under the GDPR on the basis of these legal grounds for lawful processing of Personal Data:

• We will use your Personal Data where you have given your affirmative consent to our use of such information. Where your consent is required for the processing of your Personal Data, you will have been presented with a request for consent in relation to any such use. You may withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions set out in the “Your Privacy Preferences” section below.
• We use your Personal Data where necessary to enter into or perform our contract with you. We use also your information where we need to use it to comply with our legal obligations including co-operating with legal investigations as outlined above.
• Your information may be used by us to achieve a legitimate interest and our reasons for using it outweigh any prejudice to your data protection rights. Our legitimate interests include promoting our business, preventing fraud, tailoring updates and offers to your profile, and research and development of Artificial Christmas trees, Christmas decorations, Home Decor, purchasing analytics and related market research, managing your account and verifying your identity, updating and developing our website, sending you information on our products and services (in accordance with your preferences) or otherwise presenting you with advertisements, other promotional activities, cooperating with law enforcement or regulatory investigations, and related products and services. This may include sending you email surveys asking questions about products your purchased, a customer service interaction, or your experience in using our website; these surveys are intended solely to help us improve our products and services, and you may receive these even if you have not opted in to receive our marketing emails.
• We may also use your Personal Data where necessary for us to defend, prosecute or make a claim against you, us or a third party.

You privacy is important to us. Although we cannot guarantee 100% protection, we implement a variety of important security measures to ensure the safety of your personal information. Your Personal Data is contained behind secured networks to prohibit unauthorized access, and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems. When you place orders or access your Personal Data, we offer the use of a secure server.

All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated above.

We will not retain your information longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws. If any Personal Data is used for two or more purposes, we will retain it only until the purpose with the latest period has been accomplished. We will, however, no longer use the Personal Data for the purpose which has already been accomplished.

Our retention periods are based on our business needs, including but not limited to ensuring our compliance with our contract with you (e.g., warranties, product recalls, finance and accounting records, after sales queries) and other legal obligations including with respect to applicable statute of limitation periods. This means that if you revoke your consent, or request for deletion of your Personal Data, we may nonetheless still retain certain of your information in order to meet relevant legal obligations and to defend or prosecute a case or claim against you, us or a third party, in which case we may retain the necessary Personal Data as long as such case or claim could be pursued. Once your Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purpose/s for which they were obtained, they will be permanently anonymized or deleted as applicable.

It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

As we operate on a global scale, information may be accessed by our personnel, agents or partners from a country outside the European Economic Area for any of the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including countries not deemed adequate by the European Union under applicable data protection law. In cases of data transfers to such countries not deemed adequate by the European Union, we will either ask for your consent to the transfer, or transfer such data subject to standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission, unless we are allowed under applicable law to effect such transfers without the foregoing (for example, when the transfer is necessary for us to perform our contract with you, or to implement pre-contractual measures taken at your request).

We will ensure that we have legal grounds for the transfer of Personal Data to such countries, and that such data transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards in order to protect the safety and integrity of your Personal Data.

Upon your affirmative consent, we may send you periodic promotional e-mails. If you change your mind and would like to discontinue receiving promotional e-mail from us, you may unsubscribe from our mailing list.
