Storage of Personal Data

Zhipster takes all reasonable measures to ensure that your personal data is processed and stored securely. Your personal data will never be stored longer than allowed by applicable law and for the purposes stated above.

Your personal data is processed by us for the following periods:

    • We may process your personal data for direct marketing for up to three years after the end of the customer relationship, unless you opt-out of such marketing earlier.

Transfer of Personal Data

Information about our customers is an important part of Zhipster’s business, and we do not sell this information to others. We only transfer the information as described below. We always exercise caution when transferring your personal data, and your personal data is never shared without support from this Privacy Policy and appropriate security measures being in place.

If all or part of Zhipster’s business is sold or integrated with another business, your personal data may be disclosed to our advisors, any buyer, and their advisors and passed on to the new owner of the business.

Your personal data may also be disclosed for Zhipster to fulfill certain legal obligations and may be transferred to police and other relevant authorities when permitted and required by law.

Operational Transactions: Your personal data, such as name, address, and contact details, may be transferred to external parties such as producers and transport companies to complete an order transaction or delivery.

We do not process personal data outside the EU and EEA. However, our customers may transfer personal data to countries outside the EU and EEA by using Zhipster’s system, and the completion of “Operational Transactions” may involve the use of third-party service providers outside the EU and EEA. In these cases, the customer is the data controller.

Withdrawal of Consent

If we process your personal data based on your consent, for example for marketing and newsletters, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Such withdrawal can be partial or complete. If you no longer wish to receive marketing or promotional offers from us, you can withdraw your consent through a link in the email where you will also have the option to manage your newsletter and marketing subscriptions from Zhipster.

If you withdraw your consent for the use or disclosure of your personal data for purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, it may mean that we can no longer provide you access to our websites or offer services and customer support as permitted by this Privacy Policy.

What Rights Do You Have?

You have the right to request information about what personal data we have registered about you and how it is used by submitting a written request to us. You can also change your personal data in your account settings online if you have an account on any of our websites or by contacting customer service. You also have the right to request that incorrect, incomplete, or misleading personal data be corrected by contacting customer service. To protect your privacy, we may require you to verify your identity when assisting you.

In accordance with applicable data protection laws, you also have the right to request that your personal data be deleted or that the processing of your personal data be limited. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data and request to have your personal data transferred in an electronic format.

Zhipster reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for actions taken or to refuse to comply with a request if the request is obviously unfounded or excessive. A request is considered unreasonable under GDPR when the data subject repeatedly requests information that is clearly unfounded.
