Essential information we collect:

In operating our store, it is essential for us to capture some information about your device, such as your IP address and information related to your visit when you browse our store. For example, this might include time-stamp, the last page or product you visited, the indication that you logged in.
We do that in order to:

  • Remember who you are after you log in so that you do not need to authenticate at each click;
  • Monitor if our website is running with the high performance we are dedicated to providing;
  • Let you browse between products without having to start back from the home page at each click;
  • Remember if you put something in your shopping cart before you decide to checkout; and
  • Control that your data is processed securely.

We call the information mentioned above “essential information” and we collect it through the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files that most websites uses. A website places cookies in the web browser and then reads the information collected through the cookies every time the user
performs an action. We use cookies. Without enabling this mechanism and this kind of cookies (first-party cookies), we could not provide you with the smooth experience that you expect while you are navigating. 

Order information you expressly provide:

If you buy something from our store, we will need more specific information about you. To fully process your order and ship the merchandise you selected, we need your personal data such as your first and last name, your email address and your shipping and billing address. We also use
your contact and order information to send you communication related to the processing of your order. We will ask you to provide this information in our “checkout page” before letting you finalize your purchase with the payment. 

Accounts:

You can sign up for an account if you’d like. This will make us happy because it confirms your interest in our store. It should also make you happy because we will remember your information and, when you decide to buy our products, you do not have to provide all of your information over
again -- you just have to log-in. Before registering your account, we will ask you to expressly provide your consent to this privacy policy. Only if you give us your consent will we open your account. We also provide you the ability to easily withdraw your consent and delete your account. Just
connect with us at the contact details below:

Partial Purchases:

If you have started to buy one of our products, but have not completed the purchase, you may have provided partial information, such as your email. In that case, we might send you an email to remind you about your interest. If you are not comfortable in receiving further emails of this kind,
we will give you a simple opportunity to opt-out. Your privacy means a lot to us and we will stop sending you these communications right away. 

Reviews:

If you have completed a purchase, we will send you an email to ask you to review the product you bought. We want to be sure that whether you love your purchase or have a complaint, you can share your opinion with other customers. You will also receive an invitation to rate Vitasunn on TrustPilot.com

TrustPilot.com does NOT require or keep any personal information, and reviews can be placed anonymously.

Personalization:

We also use some specific information related to your visit, such as the timestamp of your visit, the page or the product you viewed, where you are coming from (if you came to our store because you clicked on an advertisement or you just opened our direct link). This is very similar to the
“essential information,” but we use it to provide you with a personalized experience. The information on your visit provides us with insights on your interests and allows us to send you relevant communications. We capture this information through cookies, called a "beacon," that
we allow you to block. 

Other uses of personal data:

Orders and shipping data are sent to our data integration partner; OrderDesk.me, which in turn formats the information for status synchronisation between our warehouse and the BigCommerce platform. OrderDesk is 100% GDPR compliant, and their privacy policy is available here: https://www.orderdesk.me/privacy-policy/ 

How do we process your information?

We use an external provider to run our store, BigCommerce. BigCommerce is based in the US and is a participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and committed to providing best-in-class service and data protection. You can check its participation in the Privacy Shield here on the
official site of The International Trade Administration (ITA), U.S. Department of Commerce.
Through BigCommerce, we also use other, highly specialized external providers to provide the most competitive services. For example:

Constant Contact; Our newsletter and promotional email service provider. 

  • Payment: Our store is PCI-DSS compliant (a very strict industry standard with requirements for the security of credit card information), and we only use accredited companies to process your credit card information. Payments are processed using PayPal, and Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin. 

  • Shipping: We integrate with Luxroutage, a dedicated shipping provider located in Luxembourg to fulfil your orders. Luxroutage integrates with LaPoste, UPS DPD, DHL, PostNord, Royal Mail, Chronopost and Colissimo. Contact Luxroutage at +352 26 50 23 08 for more information.

Partnering with these highly specialized external companies allows us to focus on what we do best: providing great products and top-notch service!

Specifically, for VAT reporting requirements.

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
