In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we process your personal data based on the following legal bases:

• Your permission;
• The performance of the contract between you and the Site;
• Compliance with our legal obligations;
• To protect your vital interests;

If you place an order through the Website, we will retain your personal information for our records unless and until you ask us to erase that information. For more information on your right to erasure, please see the "Your Rights" section below.

Automatic decision making

If you are an EEA resident, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (including profiling) where that decision produces legal effects concerning you or otherwise significantly affects you.

Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:

• Temporary blacklist of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions. This denylist persists for a small number of hours.
