• Operating website functions, online tools, or customer support interactions

• Using information for order fulfilment, communication, or legal compliance

Activities carried out purely for personal or household purposes are generally outside the scope of this document.

When personal information is processed, the following widely recognised principles are generally observed:

Lawful and Transparent Use
Information is collected and used on a lawful basis and explained in a clear manner.

Purpose Limitation
Data is used only for defined and legitimate service-related purposes.

Data Minimisation
Collection is limited to what is relevant and necessary for the intended use.

Accuracy and Maintenance
Reasonable steps are taken to keep information accurate and up to date.

Retention Control

Any additional actions are considered based on circumstances and applicable regulations.
