3. Service providers and retailer links
We use Google Workspace (Gmail), Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, CookieYes and a hosting provider in Germany.
We use Google Tag Manager to manage the loading of CookieYes and analytics tags. The Google Tag Manager container loads when you open public pages of the site. Your browser then connects to Google's servers and sends technical request information, including your IP address. Google Analytics 4 is enabled only after you consent to analytics.
Google and CookieYes may process data in the US, UK and other countries, where local authorities may access it under their laws. Transfers from the EEA and UK rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses. Copies of the safeguards are available on request.
CookieYes Limited processes your consent identifier, cookie category choices and technical information including your IP address to respect your choices and document consent as legally required.
Linked retailers process information about visits and purchases under their own privacy policies.
If we include affiliate links to retailers, we may earn a commission on purchases made through those links. We do not charge you for using these links.
4. Data retention
Account data is retained while your account exists. Technical logs are retained as needed for security and troubleshooting, correspondence for handling enquiries, analytics data for analysing usage and improving the site, and backups for restoring the site. Longer retention may be necessary to comply with the law, protect the site or resolve disputes.
5. Your rights
Under applicable law, you can request access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or portability. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
You also have the right to object to the processing of your data.
For questions and requests, use the email address at the end of this policy.
