Your Privacy is important to us here at Fluwel and we are compliant with all applicable privacy laws. This means you personal data is protected and used responsibly. In this privacy policy we will further explain how we use and store personal data collected thru our online shop.

Use of Personal Data
When placing an order with our online shop, we receive the following data:

  • Name and address
  • Phone number
  • Billing address
  • Email address
  • Payment details
  • IP address

The applicable legislation refers to this information as ‘personal data’ and states that this information may only be used for legitimate reasons. Exactly what this entails will follow below.

We will not share your personal data with any third party, unless this is necessary to complete your order or if we are legally obliged to do so. For example, your data can be requested by the police in the event of suspected fraud.

In order to use all the functions of our online shop, you must register first. This means you will need to provide personal information and choose a user name. We will use this data to create an account. You can then log into this account with your user name and a password of your choice. We will save this information so that you only need to log in once and so we can contact you if necessary for your online shopping experience.

We will keep this information so long as your account is active. You can use your account to edit your information whenever you like.

Completing Your Order
When you place an order, we will use your personal data to complete the order properly. This means that we will need to share data with our delivery service, so that they can deliver your order to your address. We will also receive payment details from your bank or credit card company. We will store this data as long as is needed to complete your order and until the warranty has expired. Some data must be kept longer for legal reasons. For example, we are required by Dutch tax authorities to store your proof of purchase and invoice for seven years.

The Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated on this website to display our collected reviews as well as to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order.

This is necessary to safeguard our legitimate prevailing interests in an optimal marketing by ensuring the safety of your purchase according to Article 6 (1) f GDPR. The Trustbadge and the services advertised with it are an offer of the Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, _Germany. The Trustbadge is made available by a CDN provider (Content-Delivery-Network) as part of order processing. The Trusted Shops GmbH uses also service provider from the USA. An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed. Further information to the data security of the Trusted Shops GmbH can be found here: https://www.trustedshops.co.uk/imprint/

When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically saves a server log file which contains, for example, your IP address, the date and time of the call, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call. Individual access data are stored in a security database for the analysis of security problems. The log files are automatically deleted 90 days after creation at the latest.

Further personal data will be transferred to Trusted Shops GmbH if you decide to use Trusted Shops products after completing an order or have already registered for use. The contractual agreement made between you and Trusted Shops applies. For this purpose personal data is automatically collected from the order data. Whether or not you are already registered as a Trusted Shops customer is automatically checked by means of a neutral parameter, the e-mail address hashed by cryptological one-way function. The e-mail address is converted to this hash value, which cannot be decrypted by Trusted Shops before it is transmitted. After checking for a match, the parameter is deleted automatically.

This is necessary for the fulfillment of our and Trusted Shops' legitimate prevailing interests in the provision of the buyer protection linked to the specific order and the transactional review services in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR. Further details, including your right to object, can be found in the Trusted Shops Privacy Policy linked above and within the Trustbadge.
