Privacy Policy
1. Communication with Us:
Through email and contact form
Thank you for your interest in our website. Below we provide detailed information about the processing of your data.
We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it when contacting us (e.g., via a contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because, in these cases, we need the data to process your contact or open the customer account, and the contact cannot be sent without your information. The data collected can be seen in the respective entry forms. We use the data you provide to process your inquiries. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as your contact request is related to an existing or future contract. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, as the processing is necessary to fulfill our legitimate interest in the proper processing of contact requests. To properly allocate inquiries, it is necessary to provide personal data.
Once processing is complete, your data will be restricted for further processing and will be deleted after the retention periods prescribed by tax and commercial law have expired, unless you have given your explicit consent for further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.
Google Meet
We use Google Meet for online meetings (video conferences). You can also contact us by phone. If you choose to use the online meeting option through Google Meet, you can decide whether to use the Google Meet application for this. If not, you can also open Google Meet via a browser without needing to install an app. If you choose to participate through Google’s suite of services, Google will be responsible for data collection through this page.
When using Google Meet, various data is processed. The amount of data processed depends on the information you provide before and during participation in an online meeting, as well as how you participate in the meeting.
The following data is used when you participate in an online meeting: specified username, your email address if provided, your profile photo, and language selection. Additionally, so-called metadata is recorded, such as the date, time, meeting ID, and location. You can also participate in the meeting with or without video and with or without sound, and use the chat function to send text or files. If you use these functions, image and sound files, as well as data sent through the chat function, will be processed. In principle, meetings are not recorded. However, if this were the case, you would be informed in advance and asked for your consent.
The purpose of data processing is to conduct online meetings and, if necessary, to exchange data via the chat function.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as your contact request is related to an existing or future contract. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The processing is necessary to fulfill our legitimate interest in maintaining good contact with you, as well as a straightforward and personal exchange with you.
Personal data processed in connection with participation in an online meeting will not be disclosed to third parties unless they have been transmitted for the purpose of disclosure. We use service providers to conduct online meetings as part of personal data processing on our behalf. These service providers are based in the United States. Please refer to the information in the section Transfer to Third Countries regarding associated risks.
2. Access Data and Hosting:

With each visit to the website, the web server automatically stores a server log file that, for example, contains the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transmitted, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the request.
This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after your visit to the site.
This site is hosted by Dinahosting, Interxion, and Global Switch in Madrid, which we use as part of order processing.

Processing on other servers only takes place within the framework explained here.
3. Data collection for the use of Revi services
In addition to personal data provided by the customer for sending review requests, access logs may also be collected, recording IPs, interactions with emails, browsers, and devices, all legally and with business knowledge but not for commercial purposes.
Your data may be used to identify you, provide service, send newsletters, improve the platform, and respond to your questions about stores and products.
Your data, such as user profiles, reviews, interactions, and answers to questions, may be displayed by search engines and companies you have reviewed.
The retention period for your personal data is the time necessary for the proper functioning of the process or as required by legal reasons. Data will be anonymized or deleted when necessary. Upon account deletion, only the data related to the deletion record will be kept.
Regarding personal data protection, legal measures will be used to maintain your data appropriately. However, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to us in non-encrypted elements such as emails.

Online presence on social media
6. Our online presence on social media platforms
Our presence on social media and platforms serves for better and more active communication with our customers and interested parties. There, we inform you about our products and current special offers. When you visit our social media websites, your data may be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes. From this data, so-called usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. These can be used, for example, to place ads both within and outside of the platforms that presumably correspond to your interests. For this purpose, cookies are often used on your device. The visitor behavior and interests of users are stored in these cookies. This serves in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh our interests, in an optimized presentation of our offer and effective communication with customers and interested parties. If the respective social media platform operators request your consent (agreement) for data processing, for example, with the help of a checkbox, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
For certain processing activities on our social media profiles on Facebook, we are jointly responsible with the platform operator, in accordance with Article 26 of the GDPR. Essential information about the agreement between us and Facebook and your associated rights can be found here.
To the extent that the mentioned social media platforms are based in the United States, they use the standard contractual clauses issued by the EU Commission as an adequate safeguard to ensure an appropriate level of data protection.
