The data we collect:

Data necessary for order processing. Otherwise it would not be possible to produce your order and deliver it to you. Those data are for example your name, surname, company name, company ID, e-mail, delivery address, phone number.

If you are going to make payment electronically, you will provide all your personal data concerning the payment directly to the bank. The payment can be made after you are redirected to your bank’s webpage. Your bank will notify us whether the payment has been successful or not. The bank never provides us with any data such as an account balance, login data, card numbers etc. Therefore, no need to be concerned about electronic payments.

Registration (a customer account) is automatically obtained by making the first purchase, signing up or contacting us. You thus gain an access to your account where you may find your invoices, an overview of your order and designs you have created on our website. The customer account also contains your personal data which you filled in when making your first purchase/contact, and you may rectify them anytime.

While you are using our services, we collect data about the way you use them, such as reviews you give us, or messages you send to us via a form. We also collect data about a device you used to visit our website (a cell phone, a tablet, a laptop) to be able to optimize our web pages for your device so that you can visit our website without any errors or high volume of data transmitted.

The use of data:

Using the data we collect we are able to deliver products to you and produce them as well as keep the books and send you an invoice. We do so in accordance with the Commercial Terms & Conditions.

We further use the data for creating the customer account for you to always have an overview of your orders and invoices at your disposal.

We use your contact data to notify you of a status of your order and to deliver it to you as well as for the purpose of establishing a complaints procedure.

We use the data we obtain also to improve our services and carry out promotional activities. For example, data about the history of your purchases help us to display recommended products and offer you relevant discounts only.

If you give us your consent upon order, we also use the data to do other marketing activities such as sending promotional emails containing interesting facts about our products, print options and discounts on our products.

We may conduct profiling to create segmentation for marketing purposes. We do that to ensure that our clients receive relevant offers and advertisement. Segmentation is carried out based on products that have been purchased. So if you have purchased wedding products, we will not send you offers on corporate products but only the ones that are relevant for you.

Security and protection:

We use the data to ensure the security of services provided for the compliance with requirements laid down by national and other authorities supervising our activities, and to assert our claims.
