Why we use data and on which basis

Obligations of law
Some data must be stored or communicated for tax, accounting, administrative, customs, product safety or to respond to legitimate requests of the authorities.

When appropriate and after necessary balancing, we can process data for cybersecurity, fraud prevention and abuse, protection of our rights, service continuity, technical diagnostics and management of disputes.

When processing requires consent, for example for certain promotional communications or for unnecessary tracking tools, you can freely choose and revoke your consent at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing made before revocation.
Required data and optional data
The required fields are required to provide the required function or to fulfil an obligation. If they are not provided, we may not be able to create the account, conclude the order, deliver or respond properly to the request.
Optional data can be omitted without preventing the use of essential functions. Marketing preferences are not a condition to purchase.

Suppliers only receive the data necessary for the task entrusted and operate, according to the applicable role, as processors, independent owners or other legitimate subjects.
