The purpose of this privacy statement is to inform individuals on how The Launch securely collects and processes data so that privacy is maintained. The Launch respects and protects privacy in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws. Further explanation is given here within on what kinds of personal data The Launch processes, the purpose of processing and how The Launch may share personal data with third parties.

The reason we use your personal data is because of the contractual agreements between you and The Launch. We use your personal data to manage your online purchases from The Launch, process your orders and returns via our online services and inform you about the delivery status or any problem in relation to the delivery of the items you have ordered. We also use your personal data to manage your payments, to handle complaints and warranty cases for products and to be able to identify you and confirm your address with external partners.

We can also use your data if we have a ‘legitimate interest’ in doing so. This means that we want to provide all our customers with the optimal personal service. We always take your privacy into account in this context. We may also have a statutory obligation to use your data, if we suspect fraud, for instance. And in other cases, you yourself have given us consent to use your data, as is the case when you sign up for the newsletter.

The Launch may process the below data for the purposes as described below:

– First and last name: in order to deliver your order to the right person.
– Address: for the correct delivery of your order.
– Telephone number (optional): if we want to inform you about your order, we sometimes contact you by telephone.
– Email address: every time you place an order, you receive e-mails from us at various points in the process to keep you abreast of the processing and delivery of your order.
– Payment details: your payment details are sent directly to the bank via a secure connection.
– IP address: your IP address is saved when you place an order so that any abuse of payment details can be detected.
– Your past purchases: to see what products have been in your order(s).
– Behavior on site

This list is not exhaustive and The Launch may collect and process data that is useful for its services. Not all data above is collected and processed for every customer, supplier and business partners. Often the data is limited to only a few of the above details. The data collected is dependent upon the purpose of processing.

The Launch always use strict security measures. Your data is virtually always saved within the European Union. In the exceptional case that customer data is transferred to countries outside the European Union, we make sure that your privacy is still appropriately protected. The Launch takes the protection of your data seriously and implements appropriate measures to prevent abuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised amendment. If you have the impression that your data is not properly secured or there are indications of abuse, please contact our Data Protection Customer Service at hello@thelaunchofficial.com

We only pass on your data to other parties if this is genuinely necessary for our service provision. These are parties in the following categories:

– Delivery partners

The parties to whom we provide access to your data may only use this data to provide you with a service on behalf of The Launch. Unless they themselves are responsible for obtaining and protecting your data.

We will never forward, sell or exchange your data to/with third parties outside of The Launch for marketing purposes. Data that is forwarded to third parties is only used to provide you with our services.

The Launch shall store data no longer than necessary. The Launch will only store the data in line with legal retention periods and based on lawfulness of processing.

The Launch uses functional, analytical and tracking cookies. A cookie is a tiny text file that is stored in the browser on your computer, tablet or smartphone the first time you visit this website. The Launch uses cookies with purely technical functionality. These ensure that the website is working properly and that your preferences are remembered, for instance. These cookies are also used to be able to optimize the website. We also place cookies that track your browsing so that we can show you tailored content and advertisements.

Functional cookies: These cookies ensure that our online shop works properly. For instance, logging in, remembering details so that you do not need to fill them in every time, putting items in your shopping basket and remembering your shopping basket.

Analytical cookies: We use these cookies to measure and analyse how you use our online shop and what we can change to improve your experience. We measure how many customers visit our website, for instance, and what sections are the most interesting for our visitors. We also use third-party software for this, such as Google Analytics. The statistics and reports cannot be traced back to individuals.

Advertising cookies: We place advertisements on other websites and in other apps. Advertising cookies (of third parties) collect information to help better tailor advertising to your interests, both within and beyond our Sites. In some cases, these cookies involve the processing of your personal data. These cookies also keep track of what advertisements you have already seen, so that you do not need to see the same banners every time, for instance.

When you first visited our website, we informed you about these cookies and asked your consent to place them.

Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data on website visitors under the age of 16, unless they have permission from a parent or guardian. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is above the age of 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in their children’s online activities to prevent data on children being collected without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal data on a minor without this consent, please contact us via hello@thelaunchofficial.com and we will delete this information.

This privacy statement can change from time to time and the most current statement is regularly published on The Launch website. If The Launch processes major changes to this policy the customer, supplier or business partner will be kept informed by a notification on our website.

The Launch is not responsible for collection and processing of other organizations. This Privacy statement does not address personal data of any third party operating that is linked to The Launch.
