1. First of all

Vintage Diva is firmly committed to safeguarding your privacy. Therefore, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously.
Besides the fact that we of course comply with relevant laws and regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Dutch Telecommunications Act and other applicable laws and regulations, we also want to safeguard your data and be transparent about the data we process and for what purpose. This is accomplished by taking both organizational and technical measures, by adhering to a dynamic internal privacy policy and by providing clear information.
In this privacy policy we’ll explain how this is done and what rights you have as a data subject.

Vintage Diva will continue to develop and optimize its services. This may result in changes being made to this privacy policy from time to time. Therefore, Vintage Diva recommends that you consult this privacy policy on a regular basis.

 

  1. What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European regulation that prescribes which standards need to be observed by European companies when processing your personal data. Personal data means every data or information that relates to an individual who is or can be identified from that data. Processing is the term used for any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, such as collection and storage.

 

  1. Personal data we collect

Besides some personal data we mostly collect data from different types of businesses due to the fact that this is a wholesale website. The GDPR stipulates that most of the data from businesses isn’t considered personal data. Privacy is very important to us, so we choose to consider all data of businesses as personal data. This means that if we refer to personal data in this privacy policy, it also applies to business data.

We process personal data by monitoring the forms you use to actively share information with us (such as the form you fill out to request a user account) as well as your browsing habits on our website. For the latter, we use (tracking) cookies among other things.

If you create an account, we will process the following personal data: your personal gender and name, and the company’s name, address, e-mail, phone number and website. This personal data is also used when placing an order.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, the name and e-mail address of either you or your company will be processed.

Lastly, functionality cookies* are used to enhance your use of our website, like remembering the contents of your shopping bag and the most recent items you have viewed. Cookies like Google Analytics are used for analytic information such as the number of people who visited our website, in which country they are located, etc. We do not use marketing cookies.
