You can also choose to receive information from us about our services. We do not share your data.

Implementation of an agreement

Issuing your personal data to third-party organizations is permitted if this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations with respect to you. This involves processing and delivering your order. If it is necessary for the delivery of the products ordered by you or the services requested, we use a third party for the finalization of payments. We also pass on your data to the deliverer as far as necessary so that the order can be delivered to you.

With your permission

We can transfer your data to other parties if you grant us permission to do so. That permission applies only when it is clear what you are granting your permission for and what the consequences are.

For external processing

We issue personal details to our partners so that they can process data for us on the basis of our instructions and in accordance with our privacy policy and other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Our partners include our suppliers and shipping partners.

For legal reasons

We share personal data if we believe that disclosure of the data is necessary in order to comply with applicable legislation, statutory procedures or requests from government bodies.

Except in emergency situations or when consistent with the  Store Terms and Conditions or this Privacy Policy, We require valid and sufficient legal process to compel disclosure of records or information about our users. This process may include a subpoena, warrant, or court order. This process must contain enough information to identify the user's account and minimize the likelihood of accidental disclosure of information from unrelated accounts.

When we receive legal process from non-governmental third parties seeking records or information about a customer we may provide notice to that customer. Such notice may include a copy of the legal process. We may also provide the user with enough time to appear and object to the legal process in court, if appropriate.

Our policy is to provide notice to users about law enforcement and other governmental requests for user information prior to complying with that request unless prohibited by law. We may delay notice in cases involving the threat of death, bodily harm, or the exploitation of children. It is also our policy to provide notice to users about grand jury subpoenas seeking user information. If you are a representative of law enforcement or a government and object to a user receiving notice of a specific request, please provide legal justification when serving your request. Once the basis for non-disclosure has expired, we will provide notice to the user. All requests for access to user data can be submitted to mrmac@aol.com.

For administrative reasons

We can pass along your personal data to promote the legitimate interests of our stores for internal administrative purposes. This involves internal management by virtue of recital 48 of the GDPR.

In the event of a closure of the store, your data will be destroyed.

Statutory obligation

If a statutory obligation requires us to do so, we will issue your personal data. For instance, authorities may request data from us in the context of for instance a fraud investigation. Another example includes taxes. On the basis of Section 47 of the Dutch State Taxes Act (Aleman wet intake rijksbelastingen), the tax inspector may request all data that are needed to levy taxes.

We impose conditions on the recipients of your personal data to ensure that these data are handled confidentially and are secured.

Retention period

We do not retain your personal data for longer than necessary unless we have a statutory obligation to retain your personal data for a longer period. Our basic principle is that we retain your personal data only for as long as that is necessary in order to deliver our products and/or services to you. We will subsequently remove your personal data in so far as possible. If, for instance, you have provided your e-mail address so that we can keep you informed of our services, we will retain your data for that purpose.
