The Nelle online store is hosted on the Shopify platform. Shopify collects and processes personal data relating to your access to and use of the online store for the purpose of providing and improving its services.

The data you provide through our online store may be shared with Shopify and its service providers, who may be located in countries outside your country of residence where necessary to provide and improve these services.

To improve the performance of our online store and your user experience, we also use certain advanced features of the Shopify platform that involve the use of data collected through your use of our online store, as well as data relating to your interactions with other merchants using the Shopify platform.

To provide these features, Shopify may use personal data collected through your use of our online store, other stores on the Shopify platform and Shopify services.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Our online store may contain links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties.

If you visit such websites, we recommend that you review their privacy policies, security policies and other terms of use. We are not responsible for the content, security, accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information available on those websites.

Information that you submit on publicly accessible or partially public websites, including social media platforms, may be visible to other users of those platforms. The operators of those platforms are responsible for the processing of such data.

The inclusion of links to third-party websites does not imply that we endorse or recommend their content, products, services or operators, unless expressly stated otherwise.

SECURITY AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA

Please note that no security measure can guarantee complete protection, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Information you send to us over the internet may not be completely secure during transmission. We recommend that you do not use unsecured communication channels to transmit sensitive or confidential information.

The retention period for personal data depends on the purpose for which it was collected and our legal obligations. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services, maintain your user account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or for other legitimate purposes. We retain invoices and other accounting records for the periods required under applicable tax and accounting laws. After the applicable retention period expires, we delete or anonymise personal data unless applicable law or another lawful basis requires or permits its continued retention.
