5. Transfers outside the European Union

We may transfer your personal information outside of Malta. The countries to which your personal information is transferred may not offer an equivalent level of protection for personal information to the laws of Malta. Where appropriate, we will take steps to ensure your information is transferred subject to appropriate safeguards, such as by entering into data transfer agreements. Where we have put data transfer agreements or similar safeguards in place, we may be able to make a copy of this available to you if you contact us via one of the methods set out under the header “Contact Us” below.

6. How long will we keep your personal information?

We have a data retention policy that sets out how long we keep your information. This policy is based on the type of information, the purpose of collection, and the system within our digital platforms in which the information is held. As a general rule, we keep your personal information for as long as we need to in order to carry out those purposes for which your data has been collected.

Records relating to financial transactions are kept for a period of ten (10) years from the date of the final contract of sale.

Records of other transactions are kept of a period of five (5) years, with the exception of cases relating to any legal claims which may require an extension of such period.

7. Security

We use reasonable efforts to safeguard the integrity, availability and confidentiality of all personal data that we process relating to you and regularly review and enhance our technical, physical and managerial procedures so as to ensure that your personal data is protected from:

unauthorised access;
improper use or disclosure;
unauthorised modification;
unlawful destruction or accidental loss.

To this end, we have implemented security policies, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control. All our employees and data processors, who have access to and are associated with the processing of personal data, are further obliged to respect the confidentiality of our clients’ and visitors’ personal data.

Online identity theft and account hacking, including the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern. You should always suspect when you are being asked for your account information and you must always make sure you do that in our secure system. We will never request your personal information or your credit card information in a non-secure or unsolicited communication (e-mail, phone or otherwise).

8. Sensitive Data

We do not request or require special categories of information concerning religion, health, sexual orientation, trade union membership, or political affiliation and ask you to refrain from providing any such personal data in your communication with us.

9. Third Party Links

9.1 Payment

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then a third party processor stores your credit card data. Your data will be encrypted and your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

9.2 Third Party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us and in accordance with the law.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

We recommend that you read their privacy policies, so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

We make every effort to use only third party providers of good repute and to ensure that they take all necessary measures to protect your data to the best of their abilities, in accordance with best industry practices and according to law.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Withdraw your consent when your personal data is processed on the basis of your consent. The withdrawal of your consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal of your consent.
