1. Personal data we process
Earth Elements processes your personal data because you use our services and/or because you provide this data to us yourself.

Below you will find an overview of the personal data that we process:

  • First and last name

  • Sex

  • Date of birth

  • E-mail address

  • Phone number. We only ask for this so that we can easily contact you if there is something with your order.

 

2. Special and/or sensitive personal data that we process

Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors who are younger than 16 years old. Unless they have parental or guardian permission. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in the online activities of their children, in order to prevent data about children being collected without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal information without the consent of a minor, please contact us at info @ earthelements.nl and we will delete that information.

5. Sharing personal data with third parties
Earth Elements does not sell your information to third parties and will only provide it if this is necessary for the execution of our agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation. Our web store is developed with software from Wix, a third party that handles the e-mail traffic from our website and the sending of any newsletters and transactional e-mails. We use the platforms of Wix, iDeal and paypal to handle (part of) the payments in our webshop. Wix, iDeal and Paypal process your name, address and residence details and your payment details such as your bank account number. Personal data that you make available to us for the purpose of our services will be shared with this party. Wix has access to your data to provide us with (technical) support, they will never use your data for any other purpose. Wix is obliged to take appropriate security measures based on the agreement we have concluded with them. These security measures consist of the application of SSL encryption and a strong password policy.

All confirmation emails you receive from our website and web forms are sent through Wix's servers. Wix will never use your name and email address for its own purposes. At the bottom of every e-mail that is automatically sent via our website you will see the 'unsubscribe' link. If you click on this you will no longer receive e-mail from our website. Your personal data is stored securely by Wix. Wix uses cookies and other internet technologies that provide insight into whether emails are opened and read. Wix reserves the right to use your data to further improve the service and to share information with third parties in this context.

Wix, iDeal and Paypal have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. Wix, iDeal and Paypal reserve the right to use your data to further improve the service and to share (anonymized) data with third parties in this context. In the event of an application for a deferred payment (credit facility), Wix, iDeal and Paypal share personal data and information regarding your financial position with credit rating agencies. All the above-mentioned guarantees with regard to the protection of your personal data also apply to the parts of Wix, iDeal's and Paypal's services for which they engage third parties. Wix, iDeal and Paypal do not store your data for longer than is permitted by law.
