Our processor Shopify uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you.
Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:
- Temporary deny list of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This deny list persists for a small number of hours.

Right to information (disclosure and access)

Right to deletion (Right to be forgotten)
This is the right to have the Personal Information held about you deleted if it is no longer necessary for the purpose of processing (see above), if it has been processed unlawfully or if you no longer consent to the processing or object to it (see below: right to object).
In the case of data that is subject to a minimum legal retention period or if it is needed to fulfil a legal obligation or to exercise or defend legal claims, we may refuse the requested deletion of Personal Information.
Right of restricted processing
This is the right to limit or block the processing of your Personal Information if you contest the accuracy of the data until we have verified the accuracy of such data. This also applies if the processing of your Personal Information is unlawful and you request the restriction of its use instead of its deletion.
Right to data portability
This is the right to collect and re-use your Personal Information for your own purposes or for other services. This applies to the Personal Information communicated to us. We will provide you with this information in a structured, commonly used and computer-readable format.
