ADDITIONAL PRIVACY STATEMENT FOR EU RESIDENTS

The content below is intended only to apply to visitors, users, and others who reside in the European Union (“data subjects” or you”) and is adopted to comply with the standards enforced by the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“E-privacy directive”). It is construed as a supplement to and not a replacement for our complete Privacy Policy available here.

1. On what basis do we collect your information?

In short: We must have a valid reason to use your information. One of the reasons we need to collect your personal information is that it is necessary for us to perform our contract with you. Another reason is the fact that we have a legitimate interest that justify the processing, or that we have a legal obligation to process the data. In all other cases, we will process your personal information because we have your consent.

In detail

  • For some processing activities, we require your prior consent
    • You will always be prompted to take clear, affirmative action so that we can ensure that you agree with the processing of your personal information. This action may, for example, take the form of a checkbox or a link that you can click on. For example, we will ask for your consent when you subscribe to our newsletter or to receive marketing communications via SMS.
    • Before obtaining your consent, we will systematically inform you of the purposes of the processing, and you can choose to consent to certain uses that we will make of your information and to refuse others.
    • If you have given us your consent, you may always change your mind, and withdraw your consent at any time and easily; all you need to do is to send us an email at the following address help@papaandbarkley.com or click on the “unsubscribe link” at the bottom of our marketing e-mail communications.
    • If you refuse to give us your consent, or decide to withdraw it, you will not suffer any negative consequences and will be able to continue to use the rest of our service, however some functionality or features may be limited.
    • If you have given us your consent, and the processing we carry out on your personal information changes significantly, we will collect your consent again.
  • When we justify our processing operations on the basis of a contract that we have with you
    • Certain processing of your personal information is necessary so that we can perform the service you have asked us to perform.
    • We also use this justification if you ask us to take certain actions even before we enter into a contract with you (for example, you want to know if we deliver our products to your country of residence).
    • We justify our processing on our contract with you to process all the personal information that is necessary to ship your products, to respond to any queries you may have, and to prepare your customs documents for product exportations where applicable.
  • Processing operations that are necessary to meet our legitimate interests
    • Legitimate interest is a set of commercial or business reasons that justify that we process personal information about you.
    • Our legitimate interests are to comply with our obligations of detection of fraudulent payments and ensuring network and information security.
    • We will use legitimate interest only when we have carried out an assessment on the impact that this processing may have on you, and concluded that the processing does not unduly infringe your rights and freedoms. For example, we do not use this justification if we process sensitive data, or when the processing would be unexpected for you, or if we consider it to be too intrusive.

2. What are your rights?

2.1 Your general rights under the GDPR

In short:

You have the right to ask us what information we process about you, and ask us to correct it, erase it, restrict it, and ask us to transfer your personal information to another controller in certain circumstances.

In detail:

You have the right to access your personal information and request that it be rectified, supplemented or updated. You can also request the erasure of your data, withdraw your consent, or object to their processing, provided you can justify a legitimate reason.

You can exercise your rights at the following address: Papa & Barkley Essentials, LLC, ATTN: Legal Dept., 1190 N. Lake Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91104.

Before responding to your request, we will verify your identity and / or ask you to provide us with more information to respond to your request, if we have any doubts about your identity.

In such a case, we will inform you of our eventual need to extend this response time by two additional months.
