Personal data is all the data with which you can be personally identified. We only ask for data that is absolutely necessary to provide the services you request us to do, and we undertake the obligation to safeguard it, and use it only for the time required in order to serve the purpose(s) it was collected for. We will not sell or forward it to any third parties without your knowledge and previous consent (so as stated and accepted in this policy), with the very rare exception it is required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).   By visiting and using our website https://malihnog.com, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this policy. By providing us with your data, you also warrant to us that you are over 13 years of age. This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. If we become aware that personal information from a child under the age of 13 has been collected, we use reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.

3. High security standards

This website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to ensure high security standards, and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller). You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string https:// and the lock symbol in your browser line, that we automatically enforce during your visit for our shop’s and for your personal data’s security. To protect our website and database we also use other security measures, for example a security program monitoring and blocking suspicious and malicious activity. We also use strong passwords, double identification where possible, as well as physical protection. Please note that you are also responsible for your security on the internet, therefore we recommend to use an anti-virus program.

4. Third-party links

This website contains third-party links (e.g. the webpages of our partners). Clicking on those links allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read on arrival the privacy notice of every website you visit.

III. DATA COLLECTION AND HANDLING

5. Data collection when visiting our site

When you visit our website and browse it for your information, you have to allow for strictly necessary cookies (needed for the operation of the website), and you can decide by opting in our about allowing functional cookies (not needed but making the user experience better) as well as cookies for marketing purposes.

In case you do not give permission for using your data for marketing purposes, we only collect statistical data

We see the following data in a daily breakdown, all in aggregated form:

  • number of visits of our webpage (and that of the different sub-pages);
  • the country of the visitor;
  • the referrer of the visit (if you have arrived directly, through search engines or a social media link);
  • and if any third-party links have been clicked-through.

Aggregated data is not personal data as this data does not reveal your identity in any direct or indirect way!

As for every website you visit, your IP address though – which in some states is considered as a personal data already – is kept by the hosting company in so-called server log files if you pay a visit. These files are essential for loading and displaying the webpage in your browser, to maintain and monitor the website security and troubleshoot the website if necessary – so practically for the operation of the website. Our hosting company keeps these files for 30 days, which get automatically deleted afterwards. The data is not passed or used in any other way. We do not have a direct access ourselves to these files, only if we request it, which we reserve the right to do so in case there is an indication of malicious activity against our website, or concrete indications of illegal use.

6. Contacting us

When you contact us personal data is collected. When you contact us through:

  • contact form: we ask for your name, email address and optionally for your phone number (see more 17. Website contact form);
  • email: you again provide us with your name and email address;
  • phone: you usually provide us with your telephone number (if the number is not set invisible), and any other personal data you share during the conversation (like your name).

These data is collected and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry, request or for establishing contact in order for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing data is  your consent in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry: so if we can infer from the circumstances that the question has been finally clarified, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. As a secondary measure, we also overview our mailbox if all data has been deleted every 6 months.

If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, so to ask for an offer or make an order), the additional legal basis for our data processing is Art. 6 (1) point b) GDPR.

7. Making an order

Pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point b) GDPR, we collect your personal data when you make an order with us. You can make an order on our site with registering a customer account, or as a visitor without registration. We store and use the data provided by you in both cases for contract processing and execution (namely billing, payment, shipping). In case you do not provide the data requested, unfortunately we are unable to provide the services you request. In order to provide with our services, we rely on the services of data processors when it comes to accounting, payment or shipping. (See: V. THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS AND DATA PROCESSORS)

After complete processing of the contract and / or deletion of your customer account, we will not store any personal data in our webshop system, but please note that all personal data required by law will be kept – in form of issued bills – in consideration of tax and commercial retention periods of 10 years and deleted after expiry of these periods in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point 3) GDPR and according to the Law on Value Added Tax ZDDV-1, the Rules on the Implementation of the Value Added Tax Act, the Tax Procedure Act, the Companies Act, the Accounting Act and Slovenian Accounting Standards.

7.1. Making an order as a visitor

  • your billing address: to be able to issue a bill, which is our legal obligation;
  • your phone number: to be able to contact you more easily in case of problems with your order ; and your email address, to confirm your order, delivery, and send you the electronic bill.

If you chose to pay by bank card without leaving our site in the embedded form provided by Stripe, then you need to provide your payment details, including card holder name, bank card number and CVC code, in order for us to be able to process your payment. Please note that this data are is not collected or even seen by us, the data are collected and forwarded directly by our third-party payment provider, Stripe Inc. (see 16.) itself, under the highest security standards. All transaction information passed between our website and Stripe’s systems is encrypted using 256-bit SSL certificates. When placing a payment you agree to become the direct user of the Stripe system and accept their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (see more 16.)

When you choose to pay by bank card using our other third-party payment provider, Barion, you are redirected to their own website where the payment takes place. The service happens separated from our website, and in order to use their services, you need to read and accept their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy when using their website. Again, all data collected by this service is not known or stored in any ways by our shop.

When you make a payment opting for a bank-transfer, we will see on the bank statement the name and bank account number where the money was sent from, and we might need to use this information to identify the order which was paid for in order to process it.

Our webshop platform also registers your IP address you make an order from, which in some states constitutes as digital personal data. The reason why our webshop’s (and other webshops’) platform collect this data is for security measures and to prevent fraud or malicious activity.

It is possible to withdraw your consent to storing these data and delete your customer account at any time. This can be done by sending a message to info@malihnog.com.

7.3. Making order via email
