Your privacy is of great importance to us and we handle and protect your data accordingly. Below, we have outlined all the ways we use your information and why it is necessary to do so. We value your security as much as we value your custom and are fully committed to preserving your privacy.

If you have any questions regarding how we use your data and the steps we take to protect your privacy, please send your query to info@closnea.com and we will be happy to help you.

How your information is used

The details you provide to us are used in several ways – some not as obvious as others. We have separated each specific detail you supply to us and the ways in which they are used.

NAME AND CONTACT DETAILS

We will ask for your name, phone number and e-mail address for a multitude of reasons. This information allows us to:

• Ensure delivery of purchase is directed to the right person.
• Inform you of order details, delays and all other such important notices and updates via SMS or e-mail.
• Keep you up to date on new products, services and projects via e-mail. We will only send you marketing material with your consent and you are within your right to rescind consent at any time.
• Detect and prevent fraud enacted against either yourself or CLOSNEA.
• Send location-relevant marketing material.

PAYMENT INFORMATION

This information is collected during payment transactions. It allows us to:

• Process payment for items bought.
• Process refunds for returns.
• Detect and prevent fraud enacted against either yourself or CLOSNEA.
• Optionally store payment information to the user’s account for a faster checkout.

RECORDING OF CONTACT HISTORY

Phone calls and e-mail correspondence may be recorded and saved. This allows us to:

• Efficiently deal with your query (if further contact is required) and provide better customer service.
• Train our staff so that our customer support is constantly improving.

PURCHASE HISTORY/SAVED ITEMS

When you add an item to your basket, our website retains your section so we can:

• Process orders once items are added to basket.
• Handle returns and provide better customer service.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DEVICE AND HOW YOU USE OUR WEBSITE

When you use our website, your IP address and device type are noted. This information is useful to us because it allows us to:

• Set default options specific to you (such as language, currency and item availability).
• Detect and prevent fraud enacted against either yourself or CLOSNEA.

Sharing your information

Our relationship with our customers is paramount. That you have entrusted us with your information and support what we do at CLOSNEA instils in us a duty to be transparent with how we use your data. We will never sell any of your personal data to third parties. This includes your name, address, e-mail address and credit card information.

There are, however, instances whereby your data is crucial to providing a good standard of customer service and improving the experience of all involved – namely, yourself and CLOSNEA. We may share your information with:

• Payment service providers, order packers, warehouses and delivery companies. These are the companies that deal with the delivery of your goods. Certain information (name, address etc.) is necessary to share in order to get your items to you.
• Marketing agencies, advertising partners and website hosts. These professional service providers help with the business side of CLOSNEA.
• Credit reference agencies, law enforcement ad fraud prevention agencies. These are the entities that prevent and tackle fraud.

We may share anonymous information with third parties but this is for the purposes of analytics and figures. We make sure none of this data can be used to identify you.

Marketing messages

If you allow us to, we will keep you updated on CLOSNEA products and news via e-mail or text. This service ensures you are kept aware of the latest projects at CLOSNEA.

You can put a stop to marketing updates from CLOSNEA at any time by:

• Clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any e-mail from us.
• Contacting our customer service team at info@closnea.com

If you opt-out of marketing messages through any of the above methods, we will ensure your settings are updated with immediate effect. However, due to the complex nature of our services and the volume of messages we receive, the update may take a few days to complete. This means that you may receive a few more marketing updates as we process the change to your account. Please allow some time for the changes to take effect before contacting us again.

Preventing marketing messages will not stop vital service communications – order updates etc.

Online advertising

As with other retailers, we tailor advertisement based on you’re CLOSNEA website search history, site content you peruse and CLOSNEA banners or ads you have clicked on in the past. We use a multitude of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges to target CLOSNEA banners and advertisements to you when you are browsing other websites or apps. Ad technologies used include: cookies (more information on that below), ad tags, pixels, web beacons and mobile identifiers. Services offered by social network sites such as Facebook or Instagram are also implemented for the purposes of specified advertising.

There may be circumstances in which we keep hold of some of your information, even after you close you’re CLOSNEA account or it is no longer required to provide specific services to you.

MailPoet (local installation)
This website uses MailPoet to send out newsletters. The provider is Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Business Centre, No.1 Lower Mayor Street, International Financial Services Centre, Dublin 1, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as MailPoet).
MailPoet is a service used, among other things, to be able to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. We have integrated MailPoet locally on our servers. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be processed on our servers. MailPoet does not have access to these data.

Analysis of Data by MailPoet
MailPoet enables us to analyze our newsletter campaigns. Hence, we can, for instance, determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links the user clicked on. Among other things, this allows us to establish which users click on with great frequency.
Moreover, we can determine whether certain previously defined actions can be executed after opening / clicking on the link (conversion rate). For instance, this allows us to see whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.
MailPoet also puts us in a position to allocate our newsletter recipients to specific categories (clustering). In conjunction with this we can, for example, divide newsletter recipients based on age, gender, or place of residence. As a result, we can align our newsletters more effectively with the relevant target groups. If you do not want to participate in the MailPoet analysis, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a pertinent link to do this in every newsletter.

Your data will be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time with future effectiveness.

Retention Period (Mailpoet)
The data we archive for the purpose of newsletter subscriptions will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once you have unsubscribed from the newsletter, or once the purpose of its use no longer exists, the data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses in our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. This will not affect data we store for other purposes.
Once you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email mail be stored in a blacklist, if such action is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data in this blacklist will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. The objective of this is to protect your interests as well as ours when it comes to compliance with the statutory provisions regarding the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR). There are no time limits for the storage in blacklists. You have the option to object to the storage of the data if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.
