Evelostore cares about its clients personal data protection, and therefore we strictly follow the data protection law in European Union (EU) and Latvia. With this confidenciality statement Evelostore informs the website visitors or clients (physical individual, who has used, plans to use or is using SIA EVELO services) about the data that is collected on our website, as also reasons the need for such data collection. We also inform clients about their rights, data transfer, data storage terms and the lawful backing of data analysis, as also about the responsible data collectors (responsible for data analysis).
Information about the data collectors, who are responsible for the collected data and its processing, based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) article 13, are presented within this section. The information below can be used also to contact the individuals responsible for data protection at Evelostore:
GDPR Article 4 defines personal data information as any information that is related to an identified person. Such data can be: name, surname, address, telephone number, email address, bank account details.
When completing and order on Evelostore website, clients have to insert personal information so that we can proceed with the order and deliver purchased goods to the desired destination, to proceed with handling the returns, as also allowing clients to leave feedback. As a result, clients are requested to insert personal data, such as name, email address, address of order destination, and if necessary, bank account details. Communication with the clients is done via emails, and therefore it is important that clients insert correct information about email address. Evelostore uses email to communicate with clients and to provide information, such as 1) bank transfer data, 2) order confirmation, 3) order dispatch information, as also 4) other relevant information about the purchase process. Such data is necessary to fulfill the contract of client.
In cases when an individual contacts Evelostore before creating the contract of client, for example, when making an inquiry about specific product or asking questions about custom design manufacturing process, we store the data about individual's contact information (emai data) and name, in order to perform actions before creating the contract of client. GDPR article 6 and its B point informs that we can lawfully obtain such personal data, if the individual makes and inquiry or asks questions. If the individual does not convert into client, we delete the obtained personal data within 24 (twenty four) months from the first contact.
In order to deliver the purchased goods to our clients, we transfer personal data to delivery service partners that are divided into two categories: 1) payment processing providers and 2) delivery providers. First category covers PayPal and credit card paymeny companies, while the second category covers our delivery partners Omniva, DPD, and Latvijas Pasts. For example, client's personal data is transfered to DPD courier, who can only use it to perform his/her duties as an employee of DPD. Namely, to deliver the package. Personal data strictly can not be used for other purposes.
Evelostore transfers the personal data to the authorised processor Maksekeskus AS (Niine 11, Tallinn 10414, Estonia) for the purpose of payment process. Before the payment process the client has to agree to the terms and conditions. Payment is processed only when the client agrees to the terms and conditions.
Evelostore website visitors are given an option to create client's account, which is protected by the password of personal choice. Such account provides information about the previous orders and their history, payments, vouchers, as also about personal data provided to us (delivery address, email). The reasoning behind obtaining such data lies in GDPR article 6 (A) point. Namely, such data is gathered only with the consent of Evelostore clients and can be deleted if the client confirms it.
We offer our visitors and clients an option to subscribe to Evelostore newsletter. Before joining the subscribers list, the individual is given the freedom to choose - to join the list or to not join the list, to provide information about communication channel (email address) and personal name or to not provide such information. You subscribe to the newsletter while being just a visitor of website, or as a client.
When joining the subscription list, the individual only provides personal data of: name, surname, and email address. These are the only three requested fields of data. Such information allows Evelostore to communicate news (arrivals, discounts), events with our participation, or special offers (discount codes) via the presented email address, as also to provide a personal greeting, which is the only reason of gathering data about individuals' name/surname. Evelostore website visitors can also subscribe to the newsletter by providing only the email address, without providing information about personal name. Data is stored and analysis based on the GDPR article 6, point A, stating that the individual gives consent for storage of personal data.
Newsletters are distributed from the Evelostore email (info@evelostore.com) with the use of Mailchimp marketing service (The Rocket Science Group, LLC 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE Suite 5000; Atlanta, GA 30308 ASV), which adapts to GDPR article 28. Other data besides the individual's name/surname and email address, is not transfered to the Mailchimp service. Each newsletter that is delivered to the subscribers list is provided with an option to cancel the subscription at any time. If the subscriber makes such request, the personal data of an individual (name, email) is deleted from the subscribers list. If the individual encounters technical issues during subscription cancellation process, another option is to contact us directly via email (info@evelostore.com) with a headline "newsletter". Based on the GDPR article 6, point F about the evidence and protection for lawful data requests, Evelostore will store the data set about subscribers for 3 (three) years after cancellation. However, this data set will not be used for communication or data transfer, and it will be automaticall deleted after these three years.
