Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from hario-europe.com (the “Site”).

What is personal information?

Who is responsible for the processing of my Personal Information?

Personal Information we collect
When you visit the Site, we collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this information as “Device Information”.

For collecting your Device Information, we shall request your permission unless it concerns information obtained for necessary functional reasons, without which our Site would not be able to function as a webshop. For more details about the type of cookies we collect from you, please see our Cookie Policy.

We collect Device Information using the following methods:

Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect the following information from you: your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, IDEAL account (for Dutch citizens), PayPal account, email address, and phone number). We refer to this information as “Order Information”.

We also obtain the data directly from you in other cases: when you create an subscription account, provide feedback, complete a customer survey, write product reviews, or contact us via any module of communication.

We may also receive your information from third parties when someone purchases our item as a gift for you and she/he provides us with your name, shipping address or phone number. The responsibility of data provision lies upon information providers, and we are not liable for such a provision of the data.

When we talk about Personal Information in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.

How do we use your personal information?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud; and
- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

We only collect and store Order Information without your prior explicitly given approval if and insofar this is necessary to fulfill orders. For all other situations, we will request your approval.
