Your Privacy

This is our privacy policy and, if you landed here, it means that you want to learn how we process your personal data at ebuni.com and how we protect your privacy. 

Essential information we collect

In operating our store, it is essential for us to capture some information about your device, such as
your IP address and information related to your visit when you browse our store. For example, this
might include time stamp, the last page or product you visited, the indication that you logged in.

We do that in order to:
● remember who you are after you log in so that you do not need to authenticate at each click;
● monitor if our website is running with the high performance we are dedicated to providing;
● let you browse between products without having to start back from the home page at each click;
● remember if you put something in your shopping cart before you decide to checkout; and
● control that your data is processed securely.

We call the information mentioned above “essential information” and we collect it through the
use of cookies. Cookies are small text files that most websites uses. A website places cookies in the
web browser and then reads the information collected through the cookies every time the user
performs an action. We use cookies. Without enabling this mechanism and this kind of cookies
(first-party cookies), we could not provide you with the smooth experience that you expect while
you are navigating.

Order information you expressly provide

If you buy something from our store, we will need more specific information about you. To fully
process your order and ship the merchandise you selected, we need your personal data such as
your first and last name, your email address and your shipping and billing address. We also use
your contact and order information to send you communication-related to the processing of your
order. We will ask you to provide this information on our “checkout page” before letting you
finalise your purchase with the payment.

Accounts 

You can sign up for an account if you’d like. This will make us happy because it confirms your
interest in our store. It should also make you happy because we will remember your information
and, when you decide to buy our products, you do not have to provide all of your information over
again -- you just have to log in. Before registering your account, we will ask you to expressly
provide your consent to this privacy policy. Only if you give us your consent, we will open your
account. We also provide you with the option to easily withdraw your consent and delete your account. Just
connect with us using the contact details at the bottom of the page.

Partial Purchases

If you have started to buy one of our products, but have not completed the purchase, you may
have provided partial information, such as your email. In that case, we might email you to
remind you about your interest. If you are not comfortable in receiving further emails of this kind,
we will give you a simple opportunity to opt out. Your privacy means a lot to us and we will stop
sending you these communications right away.

Reviews

If you have completed a purchase, we will send you an email to ask you to review the product you
bought. We want to be sure that whether you love your purchase or have a complaint, you can
share your opinion with us and other customers so that we can continually improve our products and services.

Personalisation

We also use some specific information related to your visit, such as the timestamp of your visit, the
page or the product you viewed, where you are coming from (if you came to our store because you
clicked on an advertisement or you just opened our direct link). This is very similar to the
“essential information,” but we use it to provide you with a personalised experience. The
information on your visit provides us with insights on your interests and allows us to send you
relevant communications. We capture this information through cookies, called a "beacon," that
we allow you to block. 

Consent

When you place an order with us you are providing us with personal information to enable us to complete
the order process, we imply that by providing us with this information you are consenting to us using
that information so that we can verify your credit card, arrange for a delivery or return of a purchase and
contact you with reasonable queries so that we can process and complete your order.
Where we wish to contact you for email marketing purposes, you will be asked for consent either by signing up to
our newsletter or by consenting during checkout and opting in when provided with the opportunity to do so.
We use Klaviyo as our email and marketing automation platform and your data will be transferred to the platform for processing in accordance with their Privacy Policy

How do we process your information?

We use an external provider to run our store, Shopify Inc.

They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payments:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). 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. All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers. For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms or Privacy Statement https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy.

Partnering with highly specialised external companies allows us to focus on what we do best:
selling great products.

If you are one of our customers who is in the EU, and we are specifically selling our products to the
Member State where you are located, you have specific rights that we are honoured to enforce
without undue delay: Access, Correct, Erasure, Port, Object. If you cannot exercise your choice on
your account page or if you do not have an account with us, please reach out to us, using the contact

How long do we keep your data?

We keep your data for as long as you have an account with us. We also keep some data for security
investigation. Most importantly, we have specific obligations for fraud detection and tax reasons.
Therefore, we might need to retain certain data even if you ask to delete it.

Do we have any legal obligations when handling your data?
