Privacy Contact: info@kitchenmartx.shop
We process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection requirements, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) where applicable.
1. Personal Data We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with kitchenmartx.shop, we may process personal data including your name, billing address, delivery address, email address, telephone number, order details, products purchased, account information, communication history, payment-related information, IP address, browser type, device information, cookie identifiers, website usage information, fraud-prevention information, and marketing preferences.
We only seek to collect information reasonably relevant to the operation of our store, fulfilment of orders, security, legal obligations, customer service, or other legitimate purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information You Provide Directly
You may provide personal data when you:
Create or use a customer account; place an order; enter billing or delivery information; contact customer service; submit a return or refund request; sign up for marketing communications; participate in promotions; submit product-related information; or otherwise communicate with us.
Certain information is necessary for us to enter into or perform a purchase contract.
If required information is not provided, we may be unable to process an order or provide the requested service.
3. Information Collected Automatically
When you access our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically.
This may include IP address, device type, operating system, browser information, referring website, pages viewed, interactions with our store, approximate geographic information derived from an IP address, session information, and cookie or similar technology identifiers.
Some of this information is necessary for website functionality, security, fraud prevention, shopping-cart operation, checkout, and account authentication.
Other technologies used for analytics, advertising, or personalisation may require consent.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data only where an appropriate legal basis exists.
Processing may be necessary for performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, including processing purchases, delivering products, handling returns, and providing order-related customer service.
Processing may also be required to comply with legal obligations, including accounting, tax, recordkeeping, consumer-protection, fraud-prevention, and regulatory obligations.
We may rely on legitimate interests where appropriate, such as protecting our website, preventing abuse, improving customer service, maintaining business records, and securing our systems, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Where required, we rely on consent for activities such as certain marketing communications and non-essential cookies or tracking technologies.
You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
5. Shopify
Our store is powered by Shopify.
Shopify provides ecommerce infrastructure that allows us to operate the store, manage products, process orders, maintain customer records, facilitate checkout, and provide related services.
Shopify explains that merchants are generally controllers of their customers' data when using its platform. Shopify may act as processor for merchant customer data and may have other roles for certain optional services.
Personal data relating to EEA customers may initially be processed by Shopify International Limited in Ireland and may subsequently be processed in other jurisdictions using lawful data-transfer mechanisms.
6. Order Processing
When you place an order, we process information necessary to administer the transaction.
This may include verifying availability, processing payment, identifying the customer, arranging delivery, sending transactional communications, preventing fraudulent transactions, providing customer support, and complying with legal obligations.
Order information may be shared with service providers only to the extent reasonably necessary for these purposes.
7. Payment Processing
Payments may be processed by Shopify Payments or other third-party payment providers made available at checkout.
The payment provider selected by the customer may receive information required to authorise and process the transaction.
Payment providers operate under their own legal and regulatory responsibilities.
We do not intentionally request that customers send full payment-card details to us by ordinary email.
8. Delivery and Fulfilment
We may disclose information such as your name, delivery address, telephone number, email address, and order information to warehouses, fulfilment providers, carriers, logistics companies, and other service providers where necessary to deliver your purchase.
Such information should only be used for legitimate fulfilment and delivery-related purposes or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
9. Customer Service
When you contact us, we may retain correspondence and information relating to your enquiry.
This allows us to respond, resolve complaints, administer returns, maintain customer-service records, and protect our legitimate interests.
10. Marketing
Where permitted by applicable law, we may send promotional communications regarding products, promotions, or other commercial information.
Where consent is required, marketing communications will be sent on the basis of consent.
You may unsubscribe from electronic marketing communications by using an available unsubscribe mechanism or by contacting:
Transactional communications relating to an existing order are not marketing communications and may continue even after marketing consent is withdrawn.
11. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies.
Some technologies are strictly necessary to provide services requested by users, such as shopping-cart functionality, checkout, authentication, load balancing, security, and fraud prevention.
Other technologies may support analytics, personalisation, measurement, or advertising.
Under Germany's TDDDG, storing information on or accessing information from a user's terminal equipment generally requires consent unless the statutory exemption for technically necessary functions applies.
Where required, non-essential technologies will be controlled through an appropriate consent mechanism.
12. Cookie Preferences
Where our website displays a cookie consent interface, visitors may use it to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies.
Users may also manage certain cookies through browser settings.
Blocking technically necessary cookies may cause parts of the website, shopping cart, checkout, or customer account functionality to operate incorrectly.
13. Disclosure to Service Providers
We may use third parties to provide hosting, payment processing, delivery, fulfilment, analytics, fraud prevention, security, customer support, communications, technical infrastructure, and related business services.
Personal data is shared only where there is an appropriate reason to do so and subject to applicable legal requirements.
14. Legal Disclosures
We may disclose personal data where reasonably necessary to comply with a legal obligation, court order, regulatory request, lawful government request, or legal process.
We may also process or disclose information where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; investigate fraud; protect users; protect our property or systems; or address security incidents, where permitted by law.
15. International Data Transfers
Some providers supporting our ecommerce operations may process information outside Germany or outside the European Economic Area.
Where GDPR restrictions on international transfers apply, transfers must be supported by an appropriate legal mechanism, such as an adequacy decision, approved standard contractual clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
16. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to comply with legal, accounting, tax, contractual, fraud-prevention, and dispute-resolution requirements.
Retention periods may differ depending on the category of data and applicable statutory obligations.
When data is no longer required, it may be deleted, anonymised, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.
17. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or unauthorised access.
No online system can guarantee absolute security.
Customers should therefore use strong passwords, protect account credentials, and contact us if they believe their account or personal information has been compromised.
18. Your GDPR Rights
Where the GDPR applies, you may have rights including the right to request access to your personal data; correction of inaccurate data; deletion in applicable circumstances; restriction of processing; data portability where applicable; and objection to certain processing.
Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time.
Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object based on your particular situation.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.
19. Exercising Your Rights
Privacy requests may be sent to:
Please clearly identify the nature of your request.
We may request reasonable information necessary to verify your identity before fulfilling a privacy request. This helps protect customers against unauthorised disclosure or deletion of their information.
We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
20. Children's Privacy
Our online store is intended for persons capable of entering into online purchase transactions in accordance with applicable law.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children for purposes inconsistent with applicable data protection requirements.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us.
21. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.
Customers should review the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technologies, data-processing practices, legal requirements, or service providers change.
The revised version will be published on kitchenmartx.shop with an updated revision date.
