Our company must be considered so-called ‘(joint) controllers’ in the sense of the privacy regulation. In short, that means that we are responsible for compliance with the privacy regulation in respect of your personal data.

By ‘personal data’ we mean information that directly or indirectly relates to a certain person. For example, your name, email address and telephone number. We process your personal data if you request information, subscribe for a service, upload content or otherwise actively send us data on our website.

We do not process special personal data, such as data concerning race and ethnicity.

Why do we process personal data and on which basis?

We request and use certain personal data of yours mainly to optimize our services. We only collect, use and disclose information you give to us when you access or use our online and/or mobile services and websites, and software provided by Favorite Gifts on or in connection with such services or websites.

In particular, Favorite Gifts will retain personal data for a period of 12 months at a maximum, as listed in the Exemption Decree which is part of the Personal Data Protection Act (“Wbp”).

Of course, we set great store by the protection of your privacy in using your personal data. We have implemented measures to this end. For example, you can easily exercise your rights as described below, and you can always unsubscribe from our mailings.

If necessary, we will ask for your prior permission for certain data processing activities.

How and where do we store your personal data?

We store your personal data only as long as this is necessary for an adequate service or as long as is necessary to meet a legal obligation. It goes without saying that we will not keep your personal data any longer if you withdraw the consent you gave earlier.

We treat your personal data with care. In our company, we have put extensive measures in place to protect data, including personal data. To mention a few:

  • personal data are only accessible to employees if this is strictly necessary for them to perform their duties;
  • we have implemented adequate IT security measures;
  • we periodically run tests to discover vulnerabilities.

The data, including personal data, which we have at our disposal, are stored locally within the European Union.

With whom do we share personal data?

We treat personal data as confidential. Your personal data are only processed for the benefit of our company and not provided to third parties, except as stated here.

To ensure a correct service, we deploy certain internal and external suppliers, such as IT suppliers. We enter into agreements with suppliers who have access to personal data for their service, for example about confidentiality, security and the fact that they are not allowed to use the personal data for their own purposes.

Furthermore, personal data may be transferred to a third party in the context of an acquisition, merger, or (other) reorganization in which our company is involved.

Finally, it is possible that we are obliged to provide personal data if the law requires this or to obey an order of a competent authority.
