Privacy Policy and Cookies

We, at Kastel Shoes, wholeheartedly believe that the costumers should always always (we cannot stress that enough) be our top priority!

This policy outline is designed to help you in a variety of ways; such as clarifying which information we gather and how that information is used.
Please let us know should you have any thoughts, questions or concerns regarding the processing of your information.

WHICH PERSONAL DATA DO WE USE?

The information we process about you varies slightly depending on whether you are an unregistered customer who is casually surfing and shopping or if you created an account and are thus a registered user. Below, you can read more as to what each category entails.

  • Information about your order (for ex: order number, product(s) and delivery address)

  • IP
  • Data gathered by cookies and the like. For example, on which products you clicked and your shopping history

We then analyse this data and provide you with product recommendations for other (similar) products on our site in which you may be interested. We do this with your consent provided via the cookie-banner on our site. This data is saved no more than 36 months from the time of your latest activity or the time of your consent. If you want us to erase this data you can at anytime contact us and we will erase your personal data immediately.

  • IP addresses
  • Data gathered by cookies and the like. For example, on which products you clicked and your shopping history
  • Order number

We do this with the legal obligation of processing in a way that is necessary to cater to both our and your legitimate interests by marketing our products to you for up to one year after your latest activity on our site. To do this, we use various external advertising services and collaborative partners. You can read more about this gathering, sharing and use of data, as well as remove the information used in these channels by following the instructions provided in the links below:

Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy/partners (https://policies.google.com/privacy/partners)

Criteo: https://www.criteo.com/privacy/ (https://www.criteo.com/privacy/)

Snapchat: https://www.snap.com/en-US/privacy/privacy-policy/ (https://www.snap.com/en-US/privacy/privacy-policy/)

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ads/about/?entry_product=ad_preferences (https://www.facebook.com/ads/about/?entry_product=ad_preferences)

  • Name
  • Address, phone number and e-mail
  • Payment information (such as the repeated use of invalid card numbers and the like)
  • Information about returns and deliveries
  • IP-number
  • Potential customer notes
  • Customer service history

This use is necessary because we have an invested interest in preventing misuse of our services and avoiding, preventing and investigating crimes against the company. Such information is saved as long as it is relevant in relation to the circumstance in question, but rarely exceeds upwards of 36 months.

Improving our services

In order to analyse, develop and improve our services, products and system, we ask that you consent to us having the following information about you through our cookie-banner;

  • Purchasing and user-generated data, such as click and hit history
  • Technical data surrounding devices and their settings (for ex: language, IP-address, web browser settings, time zone, operating system, and platform).
  • Information regarding how you interact with us. E.g. how you use the site, login method, where and how long you visit certain pages, response times, error codes, how you arrive to and leave the service, etc.

We do this with the obligation of processing in a way that is necessary to cater to both our and your legitimate interests by improving and developing our site, products and the offers we are able to provide. We do this through analysis on an aggregated level, i.e. that the analysis is general and not at an individual level. We save the data, as a basis for the plain text analysis, up to one year after your most recent activity. After which, we pseudonymize the information, meaning we depersonalize it so as to make the identification of the provider (you) anonymous. If, within two years of pseudonymization, you decide you want to undo the change, we can reconnect your information with your previous visits to our site and show that you are a returning customer so as to understand how returning customers generally interact with our site. If more than two years have passed since pseudonymization, we are unfortunately no longer able to revive your information and your history is cleared. Additionally, if you contact us and wish to utilize your right of termination, we will also no longer be able to recover your information.

WHO CAN WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH?

We sometimes share data, such as personal info, with various recipients in order to provide the services mentioned above. We never sell your information to anyone else without your approval. Potential recipients of your information are:

  • Delivery Service Providers: In order to fulfil the purposes of our processing of your personal information, we share your personal data with companies providing services to us, for ex: to process the sending and delivery of your items or providing certain systems. These companies can only process your personal information according to our explicit instructions and cannot use your information for any other reason.
  • Payment Service Providers: In order to manage payments via the site, we use various payment services. The payment service provider is responsible for their own handling of your personal information and has separate conditions which apply to them. Information regarding their conditions and handling of your personal data can be found when you choose which payment method to use on the site.
  • Collaborative Partners: In order to enable our partners to usher traffic to us via their channels, we provide information such as order numbers and purchase prices. The information is only shared for this purpose and is not sold or forwarded.
  • Other Recipients: We can send your data to other recipients, for ex: government organizations, if required of us by law. If all or a portion of our organization is shared or integrated with another organization, your personal data can be provided to our advisors, potential buyers and their advisors, and are passed on to the new owners of the business.
  • Transfers Outside the EU: Some services or payment services can take place outside the EU. We never transmit any data outside the EU without taking the appropriate security measures and acquiring legal support for the transfer. For example, through Privacy Shield or the Commission's standard contractual clauses.

YOUR RIGHTS

  • You have a right to know which of your personal data we use. This can be provided through a process known as a registry extract. If you have an account, you can log in to “My Account” on the top left on the website to see which data we have on you, for ex: contact information, your order history etc. If you have not registered as a member or wish to receive a complete registry extract, you can contact our customer service and we will be glad to help you!

If the information you provided changes (for ex. if you change your e-mail address, name or payment information) or if you wish to delete your account, simply contact our customer service.
  • Regarding instances involving the ways in which we process your personal data through the consent provided by you, you always have the right (at any time) to withdraw your consent regarding that processing. You are also entitled to oppose some processing, for example, direct marketing purposes and newsletters. In some circumstances, you even have the right to have your personal information deleted or blocked. This does not apply if we are required by law, for example, to preserve or otherwise process the information or if the information is required to fulfill an agreement with you.

CONTACT

If you have any questions regarding how we process your personal data, you are always welcome to contact us at info@kastelshoes.com (mailto:info@kastelshoes.com). If you are unsatisfied with the answers you receive from us or how we process your data, you are entitled to file a complaint with the corresponding supervising authority.

COOKIES

Cookies might mean yummy treats, but in this case, we are referring to small text files used by our site in order to provide users with a more effective, customized experience on kastelshoes.com.

Obligatory cookies are required for the site to function properly. Without these cookies, base functions such as page navigation and the ability to log into your user account would not be possible. We even gather some information through cookies, for analytical purposes, in order to improve our site and provide us the information necessary to effectively advertise. In some cases, this cookie data is shared with our partners, for example in cases of collaborative-marketing in which we share a pseudonymized order number to connect sales and returns with traffic from these partners. In such cases, IP addresses are shared with these partners to prevent fraud, but they are not saved any longer than necessary. Processing of cookies in this category is based on our mutual interest to understand and improve the ways in which our site is used and to convert our partners into traffic on our site via their channels.

Settings enable the site to remember information which affects the way the site functions or looks. This can be, for example, which types of cookies you wish to use.

Personalization

We use information about how you use the site, your order history and other identifiers to offer you a better experience, customized to meet your preferences, on our site. This means you can be pointed in the direction of personal promotions and offers which focus on products you like. Note that we will never process sensitive data about you, such as your order history of intimate products and the like, in order to customize the site.

Marketing

We use cookies to show advertisements and offers we believe you will be interested in, which are customized based on your preferences. Note that you cannot choose to opt-out of our ability to show ads on external websites, but you do have the right to decide whether or not we use your user information to customize the content in the ads. That can be, for example, information about previous shoe purchases which may result in shoe advertisements, or that you shopped from our fall/winter collection, thus we assume you have an interest in special offers from our fall/winter assortment. These cookies are processed based on our mutual interest to provide you with the most relevant information possible, but you always have the right to deactivate them below and therefore end the processing of your user information for the purpose of serving custom ads. We forward certain aspects of this information to marketing and analytical companies with which we collaborate, giving them the ability to customize and improve their services. Note that we will never process sensitive data about you, such as your order history of intimate products and the like, in order to provide customized recommendations for such products.

Cookie Settings

Note that settings for cookies are attached solely to the web browser in which you specified the settings. Thus, you may need to update your preferences on multiple platforms, if you use a variety of web browsers.

If you are a member and approve our Membership Terms, Kastel Shoes will process your personal data (by gathering cookies, among other ways) as described in the membership terms and Privacy Policy.

You have the same right and possibility to deactivate cookies according to that which is described above.

Only You, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to Your personal information.
Your request to Us must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows Us to reasonably verify You are the person about whom We collected personal information or an authorized representative
  • Describe Your request with sufficient detail that allows Us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it


We cannot respond to Your request or provide You with the required information if We cannot:

  • Verify Your identity or authority to make the request
  • And confirm that the personal information relates to You


We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving Your verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.


Any disclosures We provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request’s receipt.
For data portability requests, We will select a format to provide Your personal information that is readily usable and should allow You to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

DO NOT SELL MY PERSONAL INFORMATIONAs defined in the CCPA/CPRA, “sell” and “sale” mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer’s personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.
We do not sell personal information as the term sell is commonly understood. We do allow Service Providers to use Your personal information for the business purposes described in Our Privacy Policy, for activities such as advertising, marketing, and analytics, and these may be deemed a sale under CCPA/CPRA.
You have the right to opt-out of the sale of Your personal information. Once We receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request from You, we will stop selling Your personal information. To exercise Your right to opt-out, please contact Us.
The Service Providers we partner with (for example, our analytics or advertising partners) may use technology on the Service that sells personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA law. If you wish to opt out of the use of Your personal information for interest-based advertising purposes and these potential sales as defined under CCPA/CPRA law, you may do so by following the instructions below.
Please note that any opt out is specific to the browser You use. You may need to opt out on every browser that You use.
