    The controller is a legal entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

    The processor is a legal or private individual who processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

    Processing is the collection, storage, access and all other forms of use of personal data.

    EEA is the European Economic Area, which consists of all members of the European Union, Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein.

    Personal data

    Personal data is a piece of information that identifies you as an individual. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

    The provider, according to purposes as defined in this policy, collects the following personal data:

    • basic data about the user (name, last name, residential address, date of birth, location),
    • contact information and information about the user’s communication with the provider (e-mail, phone number, date, time and content of the mail or e-mail communication, date, time and duration of phone calls, recording of phone calls), channel and campaign – manner of acquirement or the source through which the user came into contact with the provider (website and advertising campaign, call centre, physical shop)
    • data about all the user’s purchases and issued invoices (date and place of purchase, purchased products, prices of purchased products, total purchase value, manner of payment, delivery address, number and date of the invoice, code of the person who issued the invoice, etc.) and data about resolving reclamations of products
    • data about the user’s usage of the provider’s website (dates and times of visits, visited pages or URLs, time spend on individual pages, the number of visited pages, total time spent on the website, settings modifications on the website) and data about the user’s use (reading) of received messages (e-mail, SMS) from the provider.
    • data from forms that the user has voluntarily filled out, e.g. within prize games or using configurators for identifying the optimal products for the user’s needs;
    • other data that the user voluntarily provides to the controller when they are required for specific services.

    The controller does not collect personal data unless you enable it or consent to it, for example, when ordering products or services, subscribing to an e-mail newsletter, taking part in a prize game, etc., or when there is a legal basis or a legal interest by the controller for data processing.

    One of the ways the controller collects your personal data is with the use of cookies. You can read more about the use of cookies here.

    The controller only collects the data that is relevant and necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes for which the data is processed.

    The period of data for which the provider stores collected data is further defined in the chapter “Storing personal data” of this Policy.

    The legal basis for data processing

    The provider collects and processes your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

    • Law-based processing
    • Contract-based processing
    • Processing based on the individual’s consent
    • Processing on the basis of legitimate interest

    Contract-based processing

    Information is collected when it is necessary for entering into, executing and fulfilling contractual obligations. In this case, providing personal information is voluntary.

    If you choose to not provide the company with the necessary personal data, you cannot enter into a contract with them, nor can the company provide the services or supply of products, as the company lacks the information necessary to fulfil the contract.

    Processing based on the individual’s consent

    Data is processed only with your explicit consent. When processing is subject to consent, we will first make sure that you have all the necessary information needed for making a decision. You can withdraw your consent at any time. If you withdraw consent, the company may not be able to provide you with their services or products.

    Processing on the grounds of legitimate interest

    The provider can process data on the grounds of legitimate interest for which the provider is striving, provided that the interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overriding. When using legitimate interest, the provider always makes a judgement in accordance with the General regulation on data processing.

    When processing data on the grounds of legitimate interest, the user has the right to object to the data processing. You can read more about your rights below.

    Law-based processing

    We process your personal information when we are required to do so by the law that binds us (for example, tax law mandates the retention of invoices). We process the needed information in accordance with the requirements of the law.

    The purpose of data processing

    The company collects and processes data for the following purposes:

    Purpose of data processing

    General statistical processing of data about buyers and their orders and potential buyers (contacts) for the purposes of internal analyses of sales, repeated purchases, aggregate buyers’ behaviour, advertising and business optimisation

    At Youthier d.o.o. company we conduct general statistical processing of data about buyers and their orders, as well as potential buyers (contacts). Based on this processing we conduct internal analyses of sales, repeated purchases and aggregate buyers’ behaviour and monitor and optimise our business efficiency and optimise our advertising, e.g.:

    • monitoring sales through our sales channels (internet, stores, call centre),
    • monitoring the number of buyers who make repeated purchases, the time span and the value of the purchases,
    • monitoring general statistical sales data like average shopping cart value, number of products per order and similar,
    • monitoring responses to e-mail, SMS, phone calls and various advertising messages (TV, radio and online advertising) in order to optimise advertising (decisions about what, where, to whom and how we advertise)

    This type of statistical monitoring allows us to optimise our business and advertising in general and allows us to offer affordable products and services to users. This processing of personal data is based on the legitimate interest of the company to provide quality services and products to users.

    Access to your past purchases and other data by Youthier call centre and stores consultants with the purpose of providing better services and offers

    When you place a call to our call centre (or our outbound call to you) or if you visit our store (if and when you independently identify yourself), our consultants will have access to your stored personal data and purchase history, based on which they will be able to provide better services and more relevant offers.

    This data processing is based on a legitimate interest of the company. If you do not want this data to be collected, you can stop this type of data processing at any time by sending us a written request to our e-mail address hello@youthier.com or by filling out the following form https://youthier.com/contact/.

    Processing data about unclaimed remote orders with the purpose of fraud prevention

    At Youthier d.o.o. company, we process data about sent and unclaimed remote orders based on our legitimate interest. By doing so, we determine if and which buyers disproportionately remotely order products with payment on delivery option and then do not claim these products, causing us business damage, which we wish to prevent.

    When we identify such buyers, we disable payment on delivery option for them, but they can still order products with immediate advance payment by pay cards or PayPal.

    Automated e-mail communication with the user based on her or his start of the online purchase process

    At Youthier d.o.o. company, based on our legal interest, we occasionally send reminder e-mails to potential buyers that have put products into their shopping cart but never completed the purchase, with the purpose of reminding them to complete the purchase or offering them help or information in regards to doing so.

    You can stop this type of data processing at any time by either sending us a written request to our e-mail address hello@youthier.com or by filling out the following form https://youthier.com/contact/.

    Basic customised communication (through e-mail, phone calls, mail, browser notifications, information at websites, social networks), with discounts, orders and content.

    Within the basic customised communication (through e-mail, SMS, phone calls, mail, information at websites, social networks) we try to present relevant offers, discounts and other content that might be of interest to you, based on your past interactions with us.

    For this, we use the following data about you:

    • demographic data (gender, age)
    • history of purchases (products purchased, number of purchases),
    • simple processing of your behaviour at Youthier websites (viewing individual products or content that may trigger sending of customised messages), without the use of these data for user profiling

    During this process we do not use any type of automated or semi-automated profiling, we only collect suitable user sets for individual messages. We never focus on individual user’s data, we only conduct aggregate processing of large groups.

    What messages you get from us is dependent on this data.

    You can stop this type of data processing at any time, either by clicking the unsubscribe link in received messages, by written request sent to this e-mail address hello@youthier.com or by filling out the following form: https://youthier.com/contact/.

    Using the Facebook Custom Audiences advertising tool

    We at Youthier d. o. o. use the Facebook Custom Audiences service. We use it based on the acquired agreement to communicate through customised offers and content based on the user’s profile.

    The service functions in the following way:

    1. We upload the e-mail address that we acquired from you through your purchase or you provided it voluntarily, to Facebook.
    2. Facebook conducts a comparison between your e-mail address and its user database and determines whether you are a Facebook user.
    3. If you are not a Facebook user, then nothing further is done with your e-mail address and Facebook conducts no activities with it.
    4. If you are a Facebook user, Facebook will add you to a newly created list of custom audiences that will allow us, and only us, to show this group of users customised advertisements on Facebook.
    5. Based on this, we can show you ads that are more targeted and customised to you, as well as extra discounts.

    This type of data processing can be stopped at any time by either sending us a written request to our e-mail address hello@youthier.com or by filling out the following form https://youthier.com/contact/.

    Communicating custom offers and content based on your user profile

    Based on consent, the provider can personalise the communication which is carried out through various communication channels (e-mail, phone calls, mail, browser notifications, website information, social networks).

    We want to present you with the best possible offers and content tailored to your needs, which is why we use your profile as the basis for personalised communication.

    • Demographics (gender, date of birth, age, address)
    • Purchase history (products, purchase time, number of purchases)
    • Answers in questionnaires on Youthier websites
    • Behaviour on Youthier websites (views of products or content, adding products to the shopping cart, online transactions)
