Mats Meier is a trademark and a department of Brandfield BV. The privacy policy of Brandfield BV applies to the Mats Meier e-store.

Privacy policy

Privacy-sensitive data, or personal data, are processed via our e-store. Brandfield BV considers the careful handling of personal data to be very important, so we process and secure personal data accordingly.

When we process data, we comply with the requirements imposed by privacy laws. That means, among other things, that:

• we clearly state the purposes for which we process personal data, and we fulfill this requirement via this privacy statement;
• we limit our collection of personal data to those data necessary for legitimate purposes;
• in cases where your consent is required, we first ask you for explicit consent before we process your personal data;
• we take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data, and require the same of parties that process personal data on our behalf;
• we respect your right to inspect, correct or remove your personal data upon your request.

Brandfield BV is the party responsible for processing the data. This privacy statement explains which personal data we collect and use, and for which purposes. We advise you to read it carefully.

Use of personal data

When you use our e-store we obtain certain information from you, which can include personal data. We only retain and use the personal data provided directly by you in the context of the service you request, or where it is clear that this data is provided to us for processing.

We use the following data for the purposes mentioned in this privacy statement:

• name and address

• e-mail address
• payment details
• gender
• date of birth

Registration

Certain parts of our e-store require you to first register. After registration, we retain the personal data provided by you under your chosen username. We retain this data so that you do not have to enter it every time you return, and so that we can contact you in the context of execution of the agreement.

We will not pass on to third parties the data linked to your username, unless this is necessary in the context of executing the agreement that you conclude with us or if this is legally required. In the event of suspected fraud or abuse of our website, the personal data may be submitted to the competent authorities.

Our portal gives you access to a management environment where you can set up, specify and change items yourself.

Processing your order

If you place an order with us, we use your personal data to process it. If necessary for proper processing, we may also provide your personal data to third parties. You can read more about this further on in this privacy statement.
